Adult film actress Jesse Jane has passed away at the age of 44, according to a recent report from Deadline. Jane was reportedly found dead by police on Thursday morning alongside her boyfriend at their residence in Oklahoma.
Oklahoma City’s KOCO 5 TV channel also reported that police officers found the couple while conducting a welfare check around 11 a.m., and that both people were found unresponsive due to what is suspected to be drug overdoses.
Police officers on the scene identified the couple as Jane — real name Cindy Taylor — and her boyfriend Brett Hasenmueller. KOCO TV notes that substances from the scene have been sent in for lab testing.
Jane’s career in the adult film industry began in 2002 and lasted for 15 years before she officially retired in 2017. Outside of the adult film world, Jane also appeared in a variety of uncredited TV and film appearances, including having appeared in Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding, Starsky and Hutch, and Entourage.
