The adult film industry mourns the loss of Sophia Leone, a 26-year-old star born in Miami, who tragically passed away after being found unconscious in her apartment earlier this month, as reported by her family.
Her stepfather, Mike Romero, shared the heartbreaking news on a memorial fundraising page, revealing that Sophia was discovered unresponsive on March 1, 2024. The cause of her death is currently under investigation by local authorities.
In his tribute, Romero described Sophia as a “beloved daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, and friend.” He highlighted her deep affection for animals, particularly her three dogs, portraying her as someone with a strong connection to her furry companions.
The adult film community grieves the loss of Sophia Leone, and her family awaits the outcome of the ongoing police investigation into the circumstances surrounding her untimely death.
This news follows closely on the heels of another somber update within the industry, as Emily Willis, another porn star, was reported to be in a “vegetative coma” and “fighting for her life” according to her stepfather, just a day prior. The adult entertainment community faces a difficult period with these recent events, highlighting the complexities and challenges within the industry.
