Jesse Jane was discovered dead alongside her boyfriend of a suspected overdose on Wednesday.
Law enforcement sources said it appears their deaths were drug-related, TMZ reported.
Both were discovered deceased and it's unclear when they died. The cause and manner of death for Jesse (real name: Cindy Howell) and Hasenmueller will be determined by a medical examiner.
Before her sudden passing, the Texas native had made a name for herself in the adult film industry.
A cause and manner of death for Jesse and Hasenmueller will later be determined by a medical examiner.
She was notably the November 2010 Australian Penthouse Pet of the Month and had an exclusive contract with Digital Playground from 2002 to 2014.
Jesse has been inducted into the AVN, XRCO, and NightMoves Halls of Fames and appeared in Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge, which reportedly had an $8 million budget, Island Fever 4, and Jesse Jane Heat.
She also had cameos in film and TV, including Starsky & Hutch, Entourage, and The Bad Girls Club, plus was featured in the 2009 CNBC documentary Porn: Business of Pleasure.
She was accused of punching her boyfriend in the face and biting off a chunk of his hand.
"It's a job. And, you have to treat it like a job," Jesse said about her roles in X-rated flicks, noting the industry had become her livelihood.
"I'm a mom. I have a family. You know, I bought a house. It's the way you pay your bills. And, there's a lot more that goes into it than just having sex on films."
Jesse built up a fanbase and would sign autographs when she went to the Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas.
The adult film star was arrested after a drunken domestic violence incident in 2020.
"When you do adult movies and don't market yourself…you're just an adult performer. I want to be a brand," she added. "You always have to have a back up plan because the truth is you can't do this business forever."
Known to interact with her supporters, Jesse shared, "I think that I'm more personable as a person. I love meeting my fans. I know that my fans make me who I am."
