Adult film star August Ames has passed away at the age of 23. The Ventura County Medical Examiner's office confirmed her death to The Blast.
Law enforcement sources say Ames was found early Tuesday morning, December 5. She was pronounced dead at the scene. There were no signs of foul play. Toxicology tests are being performed to determine the cause of death.
Friends of Ames, born Mercedes Grabowski, said she suffered from long-term depression and may have taken her own life after she was harassed by Twitter users this week for refusing to work with a male performer, who had done gay porn.
“Choose who YOU want to work with. Don’t do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable. Share your thoughts. Hmm. Well, I did all three, and twitter took a dump on me," she wrote on the social networking site December 4. "Fuck you guys for attacking me when none of my intentions were malicious. I fucking love the gay community! What the fuck ever! I CHOOSE who I have inside my body. No hate."

Ames began her career in 2013. She was a two-time AVN Award winner who appeared in over 270 films.
"She was the kindest person I ever knew and she meant the world to me," said her husband, director Kevin Moore, told AVN. "Please leave this as a private family matter in this difficult time."
