In the days leading up to her death, August Ames reportedly texted a friend that she was suffering from depression. Sadly, this cry for help would be heard too late.
“Hey, I hope you’re doing well,” the late August Ames, 23, reportedly texted her friend and fellow adult film star, Keisha Grey, 23, on Nov. 8, per Radar Online. “I hope you’re doing well! I’ve been depressed and it seems like ppl are being dicks and I just wanted to let you know that you can talk to me if you ever want to.” The conversation, shared by Keisha on Dec. 8, seems to show August offering support and love, even as she was battling her own mental health issues.
Her friend certainly appreciated her help, as a heartbroken Keisha honoured August (born Mercedes Grabowski) one day after her death. “[Rest] easy August Ames,” she tweeted, sharing a picture of the two of them together. “Thank you for being there for me during that hard time.” While Keisha was able to overcome her own struggles, it’s sad that the same could not be said for August. The Nova Scotia native was found dead on Dec. 5, in what the Ventura Country Medical Examiner’s officer EXCLUSIVELY told HollywoodLife.com was death by “asphyxia due to hanging.”
