What is August Ames Cause of Death? Porn Star Found Dead After Cyberbullying

Adult film star August Ames was found dead in her California home on Tuesday, according to BuzzFeed. The erotic actress, who appeared in over 270 films, was 23 years old.

The Canadian actress’s official cause of death has yet to be released by the Ventura County Medical Examiner’s office due to pending family notifications. However, some members of the porn industry believe Ames, whose birth name was Mercedes Grabowski, may have taken her own life.

Just two days before Ames’s death, the porn star was a victim of cyberbullying after she posted a tweet on Sunday saying she refused to perform with a male actor who did gay pornography.

Shortly after Ames’s comments about working with "crossover performers"—porn stars who appear in gay and heterosexual scenes—she was bombarded with angry tweets accusing her of discriminating against the LGBTQ community and being anti-gay.

Ames defended her stance, writing that she was not homophobic, but decided not to shoot with men who have done gay porn for health reasons. “I’m not putting my body at risk, I don’t know what they do in their private lives,” she wrote.

As my username might suggest, I love winter. It's been pretty nice outside lately so I wanted to get out to the mountains for a walk with my daughter and wife. There is a nice little lake in the mountains about 50 minutes away. It's got a pretty wide, flat trail, so I thought it would be perfect for towing my girl in a cheap-o sled I bought from Canadian Tire for $12.

We invited a friend and we got all loaded into the car and headed out. As we get closer to the mountains, it became clear that my plan had a glaring flaw... there was no snow. My plan to tow my girl in the sled was not going to work out and we didn't bring a stroller. Oh, well, I guess I'll just have to carry her and we'll go for a short walk.

It was a beautiful day. About -2C, and the lake that we went to was barely frozen. Frozen enough that you needed a fist sized rock with a high trajectory to break though the ice. It was really fun to throw rocks at the ice. If you took a smaller rock and threw it like you were skipping a rock, it would skitter along the top of the ice and travel a LONG way. Several hundred yards. The ice was very smooth and fast.

When you would throw a rock along the surface, it would make an eerie metallic-like sound -- just like this: https://youtu.be/ZIHF5EoEixc?t=227

We finished up our short walk and went into a nearby town for a pizza lunch. I was a little scared that my daughter (who had not had a nap) would be a little shit at the restaurant, but she was an angel! So well behaved. I was pleasantly surprised.

Next week my wife goes back to work. She's only going back part-time (3 6-hour days/week), but I'm a little scared to be left alone with my daughter for the day. I've never had much luck with getting her to go to sleep. I'm going to have to figure something out. I've been able to get her to sleep in the past by reading to her and then cuddling until she goes to sleep, but that hasn't worked in several months. The car also seems to work, but she wakes up when I unload her. My wife uses her boob to get her to settle down.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a father on how to get a 1-year old to sleep?
