It’s sadly been confirmed that adult film star Kagney Linn Karter has committed suicide. She was 36-years-old and found in her apartment in Ohio.
As shared in a new report, she “passed away Thursday in Cuyahoga County,” according to online records TMZ accessed. “Her body was received by the Medical Examiner’s office that day from Parma, OH.”
As mentioned, Karter is said to have committed suicide. The publication notes that “Kagney struggled with mental health issues as the years passed by,” as mentioned by the two women that organized a GoFundMe to help with Kagney’s funeral expenses. The two women were fitness studio owners in Ohio that knew Kagney as she started her own pole fitness studio.
“Even in her darkest days, however, she still showed up to the studio, always ready to learn, contribute, better herself in whatever small way she could manage. As alone as she undoubtedly felt within the confines of her own head, she continued to make an effort to show up for her friends and the community who cared about her. She fought her own battles with the same tenacity and drive she showed in every other area of her life, with as much strength as she could.”
An additional report sadly revealed that Kagney Linn Karter committed suicide with an intraoral shotgun wound. This would mean that she placed the shotgun directly in her mouth before pulling the trigger.
