4th Porn Stars Death in Less Than a Month Leaves Many Shocked

Nova, deceased at age 20

Adult film actress Olivia Nova died at age 20 on Sunday in Las Vegas, joining a growing list of young porn stars to succumb to untimely deaths.

Nova's cause of death is unknown.

Nova entered the porn industry in March 2017 and amassed a following of over 22,000 people on Twitter.

Ames, deceased at age 23

Nova's death comes after the December suicide of August Ames at 23. Ames hung herself after she was called homophobic for not having sex on camera with men who had done gay porn. She also suffered from mental health issues, and said she had been molested as a child.

Adult entertainer Yuri Luv (real name Yurizan Beltran), 31, died of a (most likely accidental) drug overdose the same month. In one of her last Instagram posts, she included a quotation that read: "I hope to arrive to my death, late, in love, and a little drunk."

Adult Film Hall of Famer Shyla Stylez died in her sleep in November 2017 at the age of 35. She had retired from the porn industry the previous year.

August Ames, Shyla Stylez, Yuri Beltran, and Olivia Nova all incredibly young talent. We must be kinder and look out for one another in this industry. Our Truth and Standing by one another is our only power. ~ 💋 KP
