Adult film actress Jesse Jane died at the age of 43 alongside her boyfriend at their home in Oklahoma.
Police say the star, whose real name is Cindy Taylor, was found with her partner, Brett Hasenmueller, at a property in the town of Moore.
Law enforcement officials said the famous actress and her boyfriend appeared to have died from a drug overdose.
Officers had gone to his address to request a welfare check after Hasenmueller did not show up for work for a few days.
The exact cause of death is currently unknown, and the medical examiner is conducting an investigation to make a final determination.

Jane would later make it to Playboy and worked on their popular live show called ‘Night Calls’ and hosted their ‘Naughty Amateur Home Videos’.
Her work in the industry landed her in the AVN and XRCO Hall of Fame.
Taylor was married to fellow porn actor Rick Patrick for seven years, but the couple divorced in 2012. She has a son who was born in 2000.
