Law enforcement sources tell us Ames was found early Tuesday morning in Camarillo. She was pronounced dead at the scene, and we’re told there is no indication of foul play or any other crime occurring. We’re told toxicology tests are also being conducted while the death is investigated.
However, close friends of Ames tell us she had suffered from longterm depression, and believe a recent incident with online harassment may have contributed to her death.
On December 2, Ames tweeted that she was refusing to shoot a sex scene with an actor who had done gay porn. She claimed that the medical testing was different for straight vs gay sex scenes, and did not want to participate. Because of her statements, she experienced a huge backlash online, with many fans and performers labeling her a “homophobe.”
