Jesse Jane passed away at the age of 43. This tragic news was followed by the untimely death of Kagney Linn Karter, a prominent figure in the industry, who passed away in February at the age of 36. Kagney’s death sent shockwaves through the community, as her body was discovered in her Parma, Ohio home. In March, the adult film industry was hit by yet another devastating loss with the death of Sophia Leone. At just 26 years old, Sophia was found unresponsive in her Albuquerque apartment on March 1, 2024.
The death of Jesse Jane, a name synonymous with the adult films in the 2000s, was attributed to a drug overdose, TMZ had reported in July, citing Oklahoma City Medical Examiner's office. Jesse was found in her home alongside her boyfriend, Brett Hasenmueller, who was also deceased.
Her passing marks the end of an era for many fans. Beyond her work in adult films, she even hosted the AVN Awards, often referred to as the Oscars of the porn industry.
Kagney Linn Karter's death was equally tragic, though it took a more heartbreaking turn. Just before her death, she had shared a seemingly carefree photo on Instagram, captioned «Hi from Florida,» in which she stood confidently on a beach. The image gave no indication of the turmoil she was facing internally. In 2019, Kagney had moved from Los Angeles to Ohio, where she became a regular at a local pole dancing studio.
