Porn star Dakota Skye died Wednesday — just weeks after being trolled online over posing topless at a George Floyd mural. She was 27.
The California resident — whose real name was
Lauren Kaye Scott — was discovered dead in her Los Angeles motorhome by her unnamed husband, who identified the body to authorities,
the Sun reported. The coroner’s office has yet to confirm a cause of the death.
The Tampa Bay, Florida, native, who also performed under the alias “Kota Sky,” faced backlash online over a pic posted to her now-deleted Instagram page. It showed the blond bombshell flashing the camera at the Santa Barbara mural of George Floyd,
who was killed by police last year.
The “Blonde College Sluts” star defended the racy photo-op by claiming that she was “celebrating BAD cops being checked with abusing there authority against human beings … hello.”

“No human being should die getting arrested,” wrote Skye, who has appeared in over 300 skin flicks since she started her career in 2013. She was nominated for Best New Starlet in 2015 at the AVN Awards, a k a the “Oscars of porn.” She remained semi-active as a performer until last year, according to the
Internet Adult Film Database, spanning virtually every major production company.
However, sources
told the adult industry news outlet XBIZ that she had also been suffering from “personal struggles,” which reportedly included an addiction to alcohol and fentanyl, as well as an abusive family environment.
“Lauren was a product of a highly dysfunctional family involving drugs, alcohol, physical, emotional, verbal and sexual abuse,” Skye’s aunt, Linda Arden, told the Sun, adding that her niece “died almost exactly two years after her mother — my baby sister’s — death, which was caused by addiction and alcoholism.”

Not only that, but two of Skye’s grandparents had reportedly died of COVID-19 within the last year. Arden also claimed that Skye was estranged from her husband who had “loved her dearly.”
