It also states that she struggled with a drug and alcohol addiction several years ago.

Another very strong indicator that it might have been an OD.

I thought about this because sometimes that stuff is released very rapidly, but there have definitely been times (Brad Renfro comes immediately to mind and I think Chris Penn, also) when official results (OD in both cases) did not come out for a month or longer. So who knows. Either way, it is very sad.

Is it possible with a history of past drug and alcohol abuse that her body could have had damage that was unidentified previous to her death, such as a heart condition etc...
This is what I was thinking initially, however some of the circumstances from Tonia's post make me wonder?
Hopefully Marilyn was happy with her life at the time of her passing, as many of her biographies on the web speak of regret and disappointment on not being able to crossover to mainstream success after her adult career took off. Moreover, I hope that her daughter, who found her, is able to find some peace.
All said, I knew nothing of Marilyn Chambers before her death but after doing some research she proved to be a charismatic and intriguing personality. I wish the best for her family and loved ones.

This says she performed with John Homes. Didn't he die of Aids?

I also found this on another site that was linked to Wiki but apparently it was removed.
On April 12, 2009, 10 days before her 57th birthday, Marilyn Chambers was found nude and unconscious at her home in Santa Clarita, California;[1] she was discovered by her daughter.[11], authorities said. The cause of death was announced as under investigation, because Chambers was found nude and appeared to have recently engaged in sexual intercourse. Police were said to be interviewing four men with whom she was engaged in group sex with the day of her death.

Group sex with 4 men at age 57? Good grief. I can't even imagine. Maybe she died of a heart attack. Lots of time older women don't survive their first ones the way men can.

Where did you read that? I think it had been a while since she starred in any

. She had tried, with limited success, to crossover into mainstream films.

I didn't get the impression that she was doing it for film. What the poster said was that she had engaged in group sex with four men on that day.

Thanks - I completely missed the reference to the 4 men that day.

Perhaps it was an air embolism, an admittedly rare event that can result from air being blown into the vagina during sex.

I've never head of that before. Yikes!

No... she stated that the info was from a site linked to her Wiki page that is no longer there. The Wiki page does not state this (and that's what she linked to.) So, more than likely, it's rumor and should not be believed at this time.

On Wiki, anyone can post anything without backup before Wiki removes it for lack of reference and/or cite source.

Yeah - I didn't find it on Wiki when I went to the link posted, but now it is in the original quote. I too agree that the 4 men before dying information is pure rumor!

Tonia · Apr 19, 2009

It was stated on Wiki then removed when i linked it. It may very well be rumor but if her death is under investigation it is likely that it would be removed. I didn't make it up.

I hope I didn't imply you made it up, Tonia - stuff comes and goes on Wiki like that all the time!:blowkiss:

.... because it's not cited properly (which means it's unproven) and Wiki removes it... :blowkiss:

I can't even go with these theories of some sex related death I'm reading here.

However, as much as I hate to say it-Hard living does age you faster than normal in most cases. I'm not trying to pass judgement because that is not for me.

This is true. I must say, though, she looked terrific, IMHO - I should be so lucky at 57. I think she had been out of the

industry for a while. I still think it was probably drugs - the hardest living there is - but I would love to be wrong about that!

Natural causes - more tests needed to say exactly what. Doesn't sound like it was drugs, which could be determined by an autopsy.

John Holmes did die of aids. He also was suspected in the Wonderland murders
But, for some reason, I seem to remember her name from a book about Boy George.
I have no idea why, but that is why I started reading this thread. It was a tell-all book about the band, but I no longer have it.

An autopsy of the pornographic-film star Marilyn Chambers revealed that she died from the effects of a cerebral hemorrhage and aneurysm related to heart disease.
