The Oklahoma City Medical Examiner’s Office has confirmed that former adult film star Jesse Jane and her boyfriend, Brett Hasenmueller, died from an accidental overdose of fentanyl and cocaine, according to reports.
Jane, 43, and Hasenmueller were found dead in their Moore, Oklahoma home in late January. Local police discovered their bodies while conducting a wellness check after the couple had not been heard from for several days.
A drug overdose was suspected as the cause of Jane’s death, but both cases remained under investigation.
Jane, born Cindy Taylor, rose to prominence in the adult film industry in 2003. She appeared in numerous adult productions before transitioning to mainstream media, with roles in Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding, Starsky and Hutch and the HBO series Entourage.
By 2007, Jane had retired from adult films and ventured into entrepreneurship, launching her own line of adult toys.
Industry colleagues remembered Jane for her vibrant personality and professionalism. Brian Gross, president of BSG Public Relations, shared a statement following her death:
“Jesse Jane was a vivacious person who had an absolute and ultimate love for life. During her time in the adult industry, of which I was able to spend wonderful moments with her, she was an incredible professional who cheered everyone on and brought sunshine to every film set she worked on.”
Gross added, “There is not one person in the adult industry who didn’t spend time with her, whether onset or in a social setting, that she didn’t make smile, laugh or both. She would light up a room as soon as she walked in.”
The confirmation of Jane and Hasenmueller’s cause of death comes amid an ongoing national crisis of fentanyl-related overdoses. The synthetic opioid, often mixed with other drugs, has been responsible for a significant increase in overdose deaths across the United States in recent years.
Authorities continue to warn about the dangers of fentanyl and its presence in illicit drug supplies, urging caution and promoting awareness of the risks associated with drug use.
