Police arrived at the scene to do a welfare check that was requested by Hasenmueller's boss. He claimed he had not heard from Hasenmueller for a few days, according to TMZ.

When law enforcement arrived, the couple was unresponsive.

While it is unclear how long both the two had been dead, it appeared that they might have suffered from a drug overdose.

At this time, an investigation is being carried out where a medical examiner will determine the couple's actual cause of death.

A TRAGIC PAST

Known for being one of the biggest porn stars in the early 2000s, Jane had publicly struggled for the last few years of her life.

In 2020, law enforcement was called to Jane's home after she allegedly punched her then-boyfriend in the face and bit his hand, TMZ reported.

Police officers found the man in the driveway. At the time he could not open his blackened eye and appeared to have a bite mark on his left hand.

He revealed the two had been drinking the night before. When he woke up the following morning, the adult star was upset and accused him of using steroids while throwing his medication away.

When he tried to confront her, he claimed things escalated and she got violent.

Jessie told cops that her boyfriend had grabbed her neck and threw her into a wall. However, the arrest report noted that she did not have any visible injuries.

That day Jesse was arrested and taken to Cleveland County Jail. She was booked on a domestic violence charge, but she was later released.

Unfortunately, this was not the first time Jane was arrested.

In 2018,  she was charged with public intoxication. She was found drunk and soaked in urine by law enforcement.

Footage from an officer's body camera showed the adult star who appeared too intoxicated to fully sit upright.

Police officers were hoping she would give them a phone number from a loved one, so they could pick her up from their car. However, she could not grasp what was being said to her.

One officer can be heard in the background saying: "She p**sed her pants. Do you want to search her?"

Confused and flustered, Jesse was able to mutter: "I didn't do anything".

The officer tried to calm her down to no avail saying: "No one is saying you did anything, we just need to know if we can call somebody.

"What number do we need to call for you?"

According to reports, Jane told officers after being taken to the station that she was drugged.
