Adult performer Kagney Linn Karter’s last Instagram post before she killed herself showed that she was happy.
The body of Karter, 36, was discovered in her home in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, which is an urban county in Cleveland. It was later determined that she killed herself with a gun.
Members of the star’s inner circle knew she had issues with her mental health.
A GoFundMe page set up by Kagney’s friends and business partners said, “Unfortunately, despite all of her many impressive accomplishments and talents, Kagney struggled with mental health issues as the years passed.”
“Even in her darkest days, however, she still showed up to the studio, always ready to learn, contribute, better herself in whatever small way she could manage,” they added.
“As alone as she undoubtedly felt within the confines of her own head, she continued to make an effort to show up for her friends and the community who cared about her.”
“She fought her own battles with the same tenacity and drive she showed in every other area of her life, with as much strength as she could,” they noted.
Karters most recent Instagram post shows her enjoying the beach and clear skies, making her look like she is happy.
While wearing a light pink string bikini, she smiled for the camera and wrote, “Hi from Florida.”
When people first saw her post, they were very positive. They commented on how beautiful she was and shared where they were from.
“Beautiful as Venus rising from the water,” one person wrote.
Others only wrote compliments of one word, like “love,” “gorgeous,” or “sexy.”
But among the good comments, there were still some haters.
One man pleaded, “Liking this smile much better!”
Someone else said, “That’s hot, but who goes to the beach in February?”
Others replied by bringing up porn genres and her work in the adult film industry.
Some people have started to think about why the stressful things in her life might have made her mental illness worse.
One person said, “It’s sad that all the mean comments on her posts may have made this happen.”
“Can’t help but feel like Kagney would still be here had she chosen a different career,” he said.
This is something that not enough people talk about… It’s clear that the money has a big effect on the mental health of many young girls, but no one is talking about it. Some fans agreed, saying, “I think she would still be here if she had chosen a different path.”
