According to the the Sunday Sport, Foster was a dwarf, a porn star, and a Gordon Ramsay (above) lookalike — a combination that would have made the man a legend in the blue film industry. Indeed, Foster had already purchased a BMW and a diamond-studded soda-making machine in anticipation of vast riches. So it was a shock to everyone when he was discovered dead and partially eaten in — of all things— an underground badger’s den.

Maryam Haley, aka (“Haley Paige”), 25 The former Green Party aide cum porn star cum porn director began her career innocuously enough. At age 19, she began nude modeling to help pay rent while working at a Blockbuster in San Diego. She had appeared in over 313 videos by 2007, when her husband, porn director Chico Wanker Wang, brought the aspiring sex therapist to a California hospital, where she was found to have no pulse. The starlet had a history of heroin use and trace amounts of methadone was found in her system. Her husband, Wang, was suspected of foul play because of rumors he’d pistol-whipped Paige, however the police did not press charges and the case remains unsolved. Here the trail grows cold as Hwang soon met his own mysterious en

Inkyo Hwang, aka (“Chico Wanker Wang”), 38 Just a month after his wife’s death, Hwang purportedly committed suicide and was found dead in a motel room decorated with a makeshift shrine of computer images of his late wife, Haley Paige, as well as scribblings in a notebook detailing how hard it was for him to live without her. Interestingly enough, Hwang died of a methadone overdose, the same substance found in Paige’s body. Rumors have yet to cease that Hwang had gotten on the bad side of a Mexican drug gang, and both Hwang and Paige were murdered via forced overdoses.

Anna Nicole Smith, 39 On February 8, 2007, almost six months to the day after her son Daniel’s death from an accidental overdose, Anna Nicole Smith was found in her hotel room unconscious and unresponsive. She died shortly thereafter, a victim of a lethal overdose of prescription tranquilizers, other sedatives and, some might say, a conspiracy to wipe out her family

Andrew Grande, aka (“Dustin Michaels”), 23 While porn itself is relegated to the basement of society, snuff films (i.e. a movie of a murder, usually a thrill-killing), hide even deeper in the darkness. Even there, money can be made. In March of 2010, a YouTube video showed male-on-male porn star Dustin Michaels choking to death while surrounded by stun-gun-happy cops. In the video, Michaels first appears to be resisting arrest, but the scene shifts dramatically when it becomes clear Michaels is suffocating. After a few more shocks, the officers finally realize this one man is no threat and is actually in dire need of assistance and they try the Heimlich. Michaels is eventually pronounced dead… but the cause? A coroner ruled that he choked on a bag of marijuana he was trying to conceal from the cops.

Natel King, aka (“Taylor Summers”), 23 Fetish specialist Taylor Summers her short life as the victim of a real snuff film. After shooting a bondage session in photographer Anthony Frederick’s basement, Summers was reported missing. A month later her body, still dressed in Frederick’s bondage paraphernalia, was found with multiple stab wounds. Apparently, after Frederick refused to pay her, things got ugly. Her DNA was found in Frederick’s car, and he was sentenced to decades in prison.

Stephen Clancy Hill, aka (“Steve Driver”), 34 Driver was a little known porn actor until he was fired from a porn shoot and went on a rampage with a prop Samurai sword, killing one of the workers. The production company offered a $2,000 reward, and a manhunt was organized by local law enforcement officers. One day later, Driver was found sitting at the edge of a cliff, threatening suicide. After a long standoff, police officers hooked Driver’s body with Tasers and fired “non-lethal” projectiles at him. This was allegedly done to prevent him from jumping, but videos of the incident show the projectiles pushing him off the cliff to plunge 50 feet to his death. One Deputy was quoted as saying, “We wanted this to end a different way.”

Carolin Ebert, aka (“Sexy Cora”), 23 In January 2011, the 23-year-old Cora died of a heart attack during a breast implant procedure in her native Germany. The operation was the sixth for the star of Germany’s “Big Brother” TV series and over 100 porn films. Cora was having 28 ounces of silicon injected into each breast, transforming her 34Fs into 34Gs, but suffered two heart attacks and was put into an artificial coma she never awoke from. The doctors expressed a deep regret over her death and were fully exonerated by the police.

. Eva Valois, aka (“Lolo Ferrari”), 37 Ferrari, a French dancer and porn star, gained global notoriety by breaking the record for the world’s largest breasts, which weighed in at 12.4 pounds and contained six liters of saline. Her life ended in March of 2000 from a reported overdose antidepressants and tranquilizers. Though her death was first ruled a suicide, a second autopsy determined that forced suffocation could not be ruled out. 17 months later, another autopsy was performed which, this time, supposedly proved the suicide.

Emily Sander, 18 This sweet-faced community college student went missing in 2007; six days later, her mutilated body was found. Israel Mireles, a convicted child molester who had fled to Mexico with another girl — who was 16 and pregnant — was extradited, convicted and sentenced to life in prison for Sander’s murder, the details of which remain shrouded in mystery. During the course of her disappearance, Sander’s double life as an internet porn model was unearthed.

Shannon Wilsey, aka Savannah, 23 Platinum-blond siren Savannah was a prolific porn star at the top of her game, having appeared in countless adult films. Yet it was her notorious sexploits — bedding (and later bad-mouthing) big names like Gregg Allman, Slash and Billy Idol — that kept the press buzzing. In 1994, she was found dead with a gun in her hand, hours after her a bizarre car crash left her with a broken nose. Her friends accused the adult film industry – or maybe her enraged ex-lovers – of being responsible in Savannah’s death, which was ultimately ruled a suicide.

. Bettie Page, 85 After the Feds began investigating her porn career in the 1950s, the notorious Bettie Page disappeared. She hid out in New York, eventually becoming a born-again Christian. At the age of 58, the pinup resurfaced again at a trial in which she was found not guilty of attempted murder on grounds of insanity for stabbing her landlords. When she died in 2008 of “natural” causes that were never determined, she had for years refused to be photographed or filmed in anything other than utter darkness. What really happened to the original pinup sensation?

Fresh-faced Emily Sander led a polarized life. On one hand she was a college girl, making ends meet with secretarial work. On the other hand she was an internet porn model named Zoey Zane. It was a double life she successfully kept hidden from her family and all but the closest of her friends, but one that would be revealed to the world upon her death. After several days missing, Sander's body was discovered 50 miles east of El Dorado, Kansas. The "spunky little teen with a super sexy side" had met 24-year-old Israel Mireles in a nearby bar on 23rd November 2007. Police found a blood bath in Mireles' motel room. A close friend revealed Sander's love for her pornographic moonlighting to The AP: "She enjoyed it. She [was] a young teenage girl and she wanted to be in the movies and enjoyed movies. She needed the extra money." Mireles was charged with capital murder, rape and aggravated criminal sodomy and received life imprisonment without parole.

On April 12th, 2009, Marilyn Chambers was found dead in her California home by her 17-year-old daughter. While her cause of death was initially puzzling, the coroner's autopsy later revealed that Chambers died of a cerebral hemorrhage and 'an aneurysm related to heart disease'. Chambers first came into the public's consciousness after starring in the massively successful Behind the Green Door. Shot for a mere $60,000, the film went on to make a cool $25 million worldwide. As well as some then groundbreaking material, such as interracial and lesbian scenes, the film featured a seven-minute-long psychedelic money shot. Porn star Jenna Jameson commented: "She was a pioneer, and an amazingly secure woman. I admired her for being at the forefront of an industry that was so taboo when she started."

Star of 50 pornographic films, Krysti Lynn (born Shawna Krysti Yager) entered the adult film industry in 1993. She exited it in December two years later at 100mph. Driving John 'Buttman' Stagliano's Acura Legend along Las Virgenes Road, Lynn was doing twice the speed limit and was possibly drunk. She was also unable to negotiate the turns. The car flew off the road and tumbled 150 feet down into a ravine, rolling several times. Neither seat belts nor air bags could save Lynn or her passenger Stella Martinez. The women were missing for two days until a county works crew spotted skid marks on the road and investigated. They saw the car's wreckage among foliage in a dry creek bed. Jeff Marton, a friend who worked at Stagliano's Evil Angel Productions, said: "She just liked to drive too fast, at least in this case." Lynn appeared in such masterpieces as Anal Hounds and Bitches, Buttslammers 9 and Love Me Love My Butt.

Details of Camilla de Castro's death are shrouded in mystery with various sources remaining inconclusive. A regular face on the Brazilian television show Superpop and star of such visual delights as Big Ass She-Male Road Trip, de Castro was "something of a national celebrity, transcending pornography, gender, sex and race," and as such enjoyed a substantial following. Only a few days before her death in 2005, she posted an upbeat message on her website about entering negotiations to front a new reality TV show. She had also recently become engaged. Things seemed to be looking good for the petite transsexual. So why then did de Castro leap naked from her 8th story apartment? Apparently, it was an out-of-control drug rampage that spelled the end for the star of My Girlfriend's Cock 2 - although her death was officially classed as suicide.

The final chapter of Felicia Tang's life was a gruesome one. Brian Lee Randone, a former America's Sexiest Bachelor 2000 contestant and pastor, who lists the Bible as his favorite book, is alleged to have tortured and murdered Lee in the apartment they shared in Monrovia, California. On September 11th, 2009, Randone called 911, saying Lee was not breathing and needed medical aid. Paramedics who arrived on the scene were not able to revive her. She suffered what has been described as a slow and painful death with innumerable injuries. Besides small parts in Rush Hour 2 and The Fast and the Furious, Lee had made numerous soft-core porn films and appeared on Playboy TV.

Boa the Snake, age unknown The list of mysterious deaths in the porn business is long, and we fear it will just keep spreading… even to animals. In March 2011, an Israeli adult film star tried to kiss a large boa constrictor during a photo shoot. The manhood metaphor instead swooped into her bosom and bit one of her breasts. The stranger twist in this story comes later on, when the boa was found dead of— you guessed it— silicon poisoning.
