She was credited with more than 300 appearances in both mainstream material and pornography.[9]
Death
Redding was found unconscious at her residence in North Hills, Los Angeles, on September 17, 2019, and pronounced dead at the scene.[1][13] Her ex-husband and Spizoo business partner found her when he went to check on her after she had been inactive online and unresponsive to messages for nearly a week.[9][14] Jaymes had a history of seizures, but the cause of her death was not immediately known.[1] An autopsy was performed after which her body was released to her family, but a cause of death was deferred pending toxicology results.[14] The Los Angeles County Coroner's report later listed her causes of death as a seizure and chronic alcohol abuse.[2][15]
