Dead at 23, porn star Olivia Lua was found dead Thursday morning in a California rehab facility

Adult actress Olivia Lua was found dead at a California rehab facility, making her the fifth porn star to pass away within the last three months.
“Much comment has been recently made on the number of adult stars having passed in the last year and with great sadness we must inform that the list has grown longer. We learned today that Olivia Lua passed away this morning — may she rest in peace,” her agency LA Direct Models confirmed in a statement Thursday.
The 23-year-old porn actress, also known as Olivia Voltaire, signed with the agency in April 2017, though she hadn’t been doing much work since early October due to “some personal challenges that had landed her in residential rehab.”
She’d hoped to get back to work after three months at the facility, but suffered from a relapse earlier this month. She returned to a different center in West Hollywood, where she was found dead Thursday morning.

The night before she tweeted out a photo of herself in an all black outfit with the caption: “I feel it everywhere, nothing scares me anymore.”
Family and friends had previously expressed “deep concern at the volume of prescription drugs prescribed to Olivia and the danger it posed her” should she mix the drugs with alcohol, which is the suspected cause of death, according to the statement.
The actress appeared in a string of television series over the course of her career, including “Vixen” and “Hostel XXX.

Voltaire’s death has been blamed on prescription drugs, recreational substances and alcohol abuse

Lua follows the early deaths of several other porn stars, including fellow LA Direct model, 20-year-old Olivia Nova. She was found dead at a Las Vegas home on Jan. 7.
“We at Direct Models obviously can barely believe we are issuing a notice such as this, not once but twice, in such a short space of time,” the agency said, noting other than sharing the stage name “Olivia,” the pair were in no way connected.
