Porn star-turned-actress Jesse Jane was found dead along with her boyfriend from a suspected drug overdose, according to reports Thursday.
The bodies of Jane, 43, and Brett Hasenmuller were discovered by police officers Wednesday at their home in Moore, Oklahoma, during a welfare check by Hasenmuller's supervisor. TMZ said.
The newspaper said it was unclear how long the two had been dead, but the cause of death was apparently “drug-related.”
Born Cindy Howell in Fort Worth, Texas, Jane appeared in over 100 pornographic films around the turn of the century and later became a host on Playboy TV.
She then made the leap into mainstream programming, appearing on TV shows such as “Entourage,'' “The Tonight Show,'' and “Bad Girls Club.''
In 2018, she was arrested for public intoxication in Norma, Oklahoma, and two years later, police arrested her for allegedly biting and punching her boyfriend during a night of heavy drinking in Moore.
Moore police did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Post.

According to her 2006 profile, Jane graduated with honors from Moore High School in 1998. Published in the Oklahoma State Gazette.
The porn star spoke of her mixed feelings about returning to her hometown after achieving success on screen at the time.
“I think when you oppress people, people find an outlet and it comes out somewhere. That's a big problem for the state of Oklahoma.”
