Page "Megan Leigh" Paragraph 2

Her body was discovered on June 16, 1990 at her home in Solano County, California.

She had died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

According to former porn performer and message board contributor Brandy Alexandre, an autopsy discovered a lethal dose of Valium in Leigh's system.

Porn historians, including Luke Ford, have said that Leigh had recently entered a lesbian relationship and had moved in with her girlfriend, when her family reportedly denounced her for her decision to enter into a same-sex relationship.

Reports claim that she had become despondent by her family's rejection, and had been abusing drugs before her suicide.

She left behind a note mentioning unresolvable personal problems, a body of work numbering 133 titles, and a $ 500, 000 ( USD ) house that Leigh had purchased for her mother just one month before her suicide.
