Porn star Jesse Jane’s cause of death revealed more than six months after she was found unconscious alongside boyfriend Brett Hasenmueller inside their Oklahoma home

The cause of death of porn star Jesse Jane has finally been revealed, more than six months after she was found unconscious next to her boyfriend.

The 43-year-old porn star, whose real name is Cindy Taylor, and her partner, Brett Hasenmueller, were found dead by authorities in late January after police were called to their address in the town of Moore, Oklahoma for a welfare check.

Officers said Hasenmuller had not shown up for work for several days when they entered the home and found them both dead.

It has since been revealed that both Jane and her boyfriend suffered accidental overdoses of fentanyl and cocaine. The Office of Chief Medical Examiner for Oklahoma noted that her body was already decomposed when it was found, according to the Oklahoman.

The full report is expected to be published on July 17.

Originally from Fort Worth, Texas, Jane signed with Digital Playground in 2002 and went on to star in Pirates and Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge.

According to TMZ, the films cost approximately $8 million to produce and are considered the most expensive adult films to date.

This fame gave her star status and she appeared on the covers of magazines such as FHM, Maxim and Front.

Her success led her to appear on the TV show Entourage, alongside Kevin Connolly and Adrian Grenier, among others.

Jane would later join Playboy and appear on their popular live show ‘Night Calls’ and host their ‘Naughty Amateur Home Videos’.

Her work in the industry earned her a place in the AVN and XRCO Hall of Fame.

“I got into porn at the perfect time, when porn stars mattered,” she said told GQ in 2018.

“Everyone knew who you were because they had to buy your product, DVDs and everything,” Jane explains.

‘Porn was so naughty, but everyone still watched it.’

Jane was married to porn actor Rick Patrick for seven years, but the couple divorced in 2012.

A few years later, in 2020, Jane was arrested for allegedly assaulting her then-boyfriend during an alcohol-fueled argument between two couples.

The star was booked into Cleveland County Jail on domestic violence charges following the alleged incident.

Police who went to the couple’s home that morning were met in the driveway by the porn star’s boyfriend, who was suffering from a bleeding left eye and bite wounds on his left hand.

When Jane was interviewed by police, she reportedly gave a different version of events, claiming that her boyfriend picked her up by the neck and threw her against the wall.

She leaves behind one son.

As news of her unexpected passing spread, tributes poured in for the porn star from others in the industry.

Actor and director Tommy Gunn, whose real name is Thomas Strada, paid an emotional tribute to Jane, with whom he starred in several films, including ‘Pirates’.

He went to X and shared a photo of the two of them together, saying he was “grateful to have been blessed by her presence.”

Gunn also said he saw her death as the end of the “golden days” of the porn industry.

He said: ‘I am speechless to hear of Jesse Jane’s passing. We started in 2004.

“She had an energy that was unmatchable. She was such an amazing person and always made me laugh and feel loved. You could always feel her presence the moment she walked into the room.

‘We’ve worked together countless times and created some of the biggest films the industry and the world will ever see.

‘This news is a sign that the industry’s golden age is definitely over.

‘I am so happy and grateful that I was able to be part of a time when there was a sense of family and camaraderie.

‘Rest in Power Angel, I am grateful to be blessed by your presence. And to ALL the other wonderful people we have lost along the way, You are not forgotten. I love you!’

Alana Evans, president of the Adult Performance Artists Guild (APAG), also told Rolling Stone: “Jesse was a megastar. She was discovered at the Hawaiian Tropics competition.

‘Although she quickly became a porn sensation, it didn’t go to her head. She was as sweet as could be.

‘I remember crashing the premiere of the movie. I wasn’t in the cast, but she smuggled me up to the VIP balcony with the cast so I could watch the movie with her.

“It was the first time we saw something like that on a big screen, and I remember how proud she was.”

Meanwhile, porn director Joone, who directed the Pirates films starring Jane, said on X: “I am heartbroken by the loss of my friend Jesse Jane, who was a remarkable person and a phenomenal artist.

“She touched so many lives with her grace and beauty, her infectious laugh and a smile that lit up the world. I feel honored to have known her and been her friend.”

Tributes to Hasenmueller were also paid on social media.

Someone shared a photo of him and said, “Damn I am truly at a loss for words, my heart cries for you my friend Brett D. Hasenmueller.

“You were such a good guy and had such a great soul. You were not only my friend, you were my brother and my family.

“I could always count on you when I needed something, or just needed a friend to have a good chat with. When we saw each other outside, we would catch up and see when and where we would be next.”

“I love you, brother. Rest in peace until we meet again.”

Another said, “Brett D. Hasenmueller embodied unwavering support, with a heart of gold that touched everyone.

‘Always ready with a smile, a comforting hug, and a collection of dad jokes. Here’s a reminder to hug the ones you love today, because tomorrow isn’t promised.

‘Farewell, Brett, may you rest in peace, a beloved friend.’
