When news of August Ames’ suicide broke, most assumed the popular porn star had taken her life at home. That is not the case according to AVN.com, who says the popular Canadian starlet was found hanging in a local Los Angeles park from a tree.
According to investigators, August Ames’ body was found at Camarillo Grove park by a bystander who called 911 at 3:46 a.m. on Dec. 5. She was pronounced dead at the scene due to asphyxia from hanging with a rope, the investigator said. There were no signs of foul play.
In addition, notes were found in Ames’ car which seemed to note her alleged depression issues.
Kilany said officials found a note in Ames’ journal that was left in her car parked at Camarillo Grove that had “suicidal undertones.”
A toxicology report has been ordered which is expected to take 8 to 12 weeks for completion.
August Ames had been the target of cyber bullying in the days and months leading up to her death, something the starlet obviously took to heart as she would often recite and re-tweet many of the graphic insults sent her way online.
In the wake of August’s tragic passing, many adult stars have urged fellow performers, industry executives and fans to cease on any potential bullying – online or in-person.
