According to the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office, who confirmed Jaymes’ death to PEOPLE, the 43-year-old was found unresponsive at her home on Tuesday, Sept. 17 by her husband, who had gone to her home after not hearing from her for several days. She was pronounced dead at 4:20 p.m. and her cause of death remains under investigation. It has been reported that Jaymes had a history of seizures, though it is unclear if that is in anyway related to her passing.
Born in Anchorage, Alaska, Jaymes broke into the adult entertainment industry in 2002 and scored her big break when, just two years later, she became Hustler Video’s first contract model. She went on to become the Hustler Honey of the Year and co-founded her own porn studio, Spizoo, in 2008.
An Adult Video News Hall of Fame inductee, Jaymes starred in over 200 films and is also known for small roles in well-known television series, including Weeds, The Howard Stern Show, VH1’s Celebrity Rehab Sober House, and HBO’s Vivid Valley.
