I awakened very early yesterday morning to the sad news, then unconfirmed, that "Sahara Davenport" (real name Antoine Ashley) had died. Within a few hours, the reports were confirmed by verifiable sources such as RuPaul himself.
Later today, the cause of his death is reported to be heart failure.
To a much-loved Drag Queen with a heart of gold, RIP
A google news search on his drag name results in many hits. I offer just this one, although it may not be the best (my Evernote is full of clips):
