The Office of Chief Medical Examiner for Oklahoma has revealed adult film star Jesse Jane’s cause of death.
The 43-year-old actor – real name Cynthia Ann Howell – was found passed away alongside Brett Hasenmueller on 24 January inside a house located in Moore in Oklahoma, US.

Police were called to conduct a welfare check on the adult industry star and her boyfriend and arrived at the home at around 11am.
It was suspected at the time the pair had died of a suspected drug overdose and the Oklahoma State Medical Examiner immediately launched an investigation into Jane and Hasenmueller’s passing.
And the office has since revealed the results of the investigation.

The Oklahoman states the first page of the report on Jane’s death was released on Sunday (7 July) and the full report is expected to be made public on 17 July.
The report allegedly states the adult film actor’s body was decomposed when it was analysed and her death was ruled as a drug overdose ‘on cocaine and fentanyl’.
It adds her death was classified as an accident.
And since the report broke, fans of the star have taken to social media to pay tribute once more.

One Twitter user wrote: “Sad stuff.”
“I just opened the app and all I got are three posts of Jesse Jane’s death. I don’t want to believe it but sadly there is nothing we can do. Thank you Jesse for your services you may have rest now,” another added.
A third wrote: “Fentanyl is taking all the greats.”
At the time her passing was first announced, Joone who directed the 2005 R-rated action-adventure Pirates – which Jane starred in – took to Twitter to write: “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’m honoured to have known her and to have been her friend.”
Penthouse magazine’s photo editor Sam Phillips wrote: “I am in shock after reading former adult star Jesse Jane is dead from an apparent drug overdose.
“Jesse was the sweetest and kindest human on this planet. I hired her for her very first movie role, a mainstream one called, Busty Cops, before she did adult films. I am Devastated.”
