Adult content creator and burlesque performer LuLu LoveBottom died at his Los Angeles home on September 7 at age 31, while authorities have yet to determine an official cause of death.
The Los Angeles Police Department responded to a death-investigation call at about 11:22 a.m. local time, according to E! News. Police later classified the death as non-suspicious.
LoveBottom, whose birth name was Lucas Drake and who also used the name Hunter Hardin online, was pronounced dead at the residence. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner had not publicly released a cause of death at the time of reporting.
A final Instagram post shared before his death expressed emotional distress and included a farewell to followers. Given that the medical examiner’s investigation remains pending, the post does not establish the cause or manner of death.
Friends and collaborators from the burlesque community, including performers associated with Cleodora Productions, posted tributes after his death.
