Her death is reportedly being investigated as a murder…
Sophia Leone has died at age 26. The adult film starlet was found unresponsive in her New Mexico home earlier this month and was pronounced dead at the scene. News of her death began circulating a few days ago after an announcement from her family. While authorities have provided no official cause of death, Sophia’s modeling agency has said that her death is being investigated as a possible homicide.
Sophia’s step-father, Mike Romero, has set up a GoFundMe page to collect donations to assist the family with covering Sophia’s burial expenses. In a note posted to that page, this is what he had to say:
On behalf of her Mother & Family, It is with a heavy heart that I have to Share the news of our beloved Sophia’s Passing.

News of Sophia Leone’s death sent shock waves through an adult film industry which was already reeling. Since the beginning of this year, there’s been a steady stream of tragic news. Legendary performer Jesse Jane passed away in January from a reported drug overdose. Shortly after that, Emily Willis was rushed to a hospital in critical condition after an apparent drug overdose. She’s reportedly in a vegetative coma. And then just a few weeks ago, Kagney Linn Karter took her own life.
Who was Sophia Leone?
Sophia Leone was an American pornstar who began her adult film career in 2015. Throughout her career, Sophia performed in over 400 XXX-rated videos and was nominated for multiple major industry awards. Highlights of hers would include such best-sellers as Interracial Icon Vol. 4 (Blacked), Hung On Teens (Bang Bros), Moms In Control 9 (Brazzers), and A Black Bull For My Hotwife 4 (New Sensations).
Over the years, Sophia worked with many of the industry’s most elite performers and starred in scenes for many of the biggest US-based adult film studios. At the time of her death, she was still very active in Porn, including releasing new content for her now-deleted Onlyfans, and was posting updates on some of her upcoming work to X just a few days before her death.
As news of her passing made its way across social media, dozens of her former co-stars and directors with whom she had filmed posted about how kind and wonderful of a person Sophia had been throughout her time in the XXX biz.
Rest in peace, Sophia Leone…
