Raven Alexis has died at the age of 35 after battling Crohn’s disease and a life-threatening infection, her husband confirmed.
Her husband shared the news of Alexis’ death on Instagram and Facebook, revealing she died in Las Vegas last Wednesday after having complications due to Crohn’s, according to reports from Adult Video News (AVN)..
He said: ‘She went in Sunday night with some complications and some stomach Crohn’s/colitis issues she had dealt with, ended up getting some infection and passed away yesterday at 12:44.’
Her husband, who has not been named, added: ‘I want all those people out there to know that she loved you all, she cared about you and I’m just so blessed to have her in my life and be a part of my life.
‘She was the absolute world to me, the love of my life.’
Crohn’s is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes inflammation and irritation in the digestive track, most commonly affecting the small intestines and the beginning part of the large intestines, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.
Alexis had started out her adult film career as an ‘internet model’ who ran her own membership sites before eventually receiving a contract with the production company Digital Playhouse from 2009 to 2010, after reaching out to many of the major companies in the adult film industry.
She told Shabooty in 2011: ‘At the time, they were the company that I felt was more in line with my goals.
‘It was a great ride, and they have a terrific business model for themselves, and I was fortunate to make some amazing and wonderfully selling movies in my time with them.’
She was a double AVN Award winner in 2011, including winning a fan-voted award for the wildest sex scene.
