What is Britney Joy’s cause of death?
According to ABC13, Britney and her mother’s causes of death are linked to a car crash on West Tisdell in Houston, Tex., on June 19, 2023.
Houston police told the outlet that Britney was driving with her mother in tow when a truck driver struck the vehicle. At this time, no charges have been made, but an investigation is currently in full swing.
“It looked like her car and everybody, when I was walking up, said a mom and daughter died, and I knew they had left and knew the only mom and daughter would be my mom and sister,” Tiffany Smith Cofield, Britney’s little sister, told the outlet.

Britney’s sister, Tiffany Smith Cofield, is raising funds for the funerals via a GoFundMe page.
Unfortunately, the Smith family was not prepared to lose Britney and Sherie, so they are calling on folks to help financially.
“We were not adequately prepared to have to lay both my sister and mother to rest at the same time,” Tiffany said via a GoFundMe page. “This happened so suddenly and was truly something I could have never imagined, losing my best friends. Please consider donating anything you can. It all helps.”
