Fourth adult film star death in three months

Sophia Leone's death has highlighted the concern of multiple deaths in the industry in the course of last couple of months. Earlier, Kagney Lee died by suicide at just 36 years old. Her case was later handed over for investigation. In January, Jesse Jane was found dead alongside her boyfriend Brett Hasenmuller in Oklahoma.

The news came to many as a shocker. A person wrote, "First Kagney Linn Karter, now Sophia Leone and very soon Emily Willis.. my search history is slowly becoming a cemetery," Others chimed in, "First Emily Willis and now Sophia Leone. This is what happens when you speak up and expose the porn industry. They kill you when you speak the truth." "All these adult film stars are committing suicide, a few weeks ago Kagney Linn Karter committed suicide at the age of 36, Emily Willis overdosed a few weeks ago at the age of 25 and now Sophia Leone.
