New details about Jesse Jane’s death have emerged.
More than six months after the former adult film star was found dead alongside her boyfriend Brett Hasenmueller in her Moore, Oklahoma, home from a suspected overdose, authorities confirmed what led to the tragedy.
Jane and Hasenmueller reportedly died of an accidental fentanyl and cocaine overdose according to TMZ, citing the Oklahoma City Medical Examiner’s Office.
E! News has reached out to the Examiner’s Office for comment but had not yet heard back.
In late January, local outlet KFOR reported that Moore Police found Jane and Hasemueller’s bodies while performing a wellness check after the couple had not been heard from in several days.
Moore PD’s Lt. Francisco Franco told The New York Times at the time that it was believed Jane died from a drug overdose, but that both deaths remained under investigation.
Jane, who was 43 at the time of her passing, acted in a number of adult films starting in 2003 before transitioning to other projects, including an appearance in Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding and 2004’s Starsky and Hutch, as well as season two of Entourage.

By 2007, Jane had officially retired from the adult film industry, pivoting into making her own line of sex toys.
At the time of her death, BSG Public Relations President Brian Gross shared in a statement to E! News, “Jesse Jane was a vivacious person who had an absolute and ultimate love for life. During her time in the adult industry, of which I was able to spend wonderful moments with her, she was an incredible professional who cheered everyone on and brought sunshine to every film set she worked on.”
“There is not one person in the adult industry who didn’t spend time with her, whether onset or in a social setting, that she didn’t make smile, laugh or both. She would light up a room as soon as she walked in,” he continued, “I will personally miss her very much for the reasons above. Her smile was everything.”
