Porn Star Dakota Skye Passes Away At Age 27

It’s with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of porn star Dakota Skye, who was just 27 years old. She has long been a favorite performer of mine, appearing in more than 300 videos from 2013 to 2019, and working with some of the biggest names in the biz, including Girlfriends Films, Brazzers, Hustler Video, Digital Playground, Reality Kings, Bang, Mile High Media, Naughty America and others.

The L.A. County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s office has confirmed her death, her body found dead inside her Los Angeles motorhome by her estranged husband. There was no immediate indication of foul play, although the coroner who performed the autopsy deferred reaching a conclusion pending “further investigation.”

Skye, whose real name was Lauren Kaye Scott, came from a family with a history of addiction, her aunt claimed in an interview.

“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.”

As someone who followed Skye on Twitter, you could see the signs of trouble for awhile now, but I always hoped that she would turn things around for the better. Sadly, the industry lost another soul too soon, and I can only hope that she’s in a better place now.

R.I.P. Dakota Skye.
