The 23 year old Canadian porn star August Ames was found dead at her California home in the United States.
According to the coroner, the 23-year-old was hanged. Her husband, director of erotic films Kevin Moore, said she was "the most loving person I knew, and she was my whole world. Please respect the mourning of our family."
The 23 year old August, starring in more than 250 erotic films, is reported to have been suffering from chronic depression.
A mere 24 hours before her death, she was involved in a public debate because of her posting on her Twitter account, in which she stated that she left a scene because her partner had been involved in homosexual erotic films. Many accused her of homophobia, while she argued that the reasons that led her to this decision related solely to her personal health.
August Ames's brother James Grabowski wrote a text on his Facebook page in which he accused everyone who was bullying his sister and led her to suicide. He deleted his post shortly after.
The 23-year-old was one of the most famous protagonists in her field, with her name appearing in over 425 million searches.
