She's worked for adult studios including Reality Kings, Brazzers, Nubiles, Evil Angel and Jules Jordan Video.
News of Romani's death was confirmed by her father in a Facebook post. Her father serves as a coroner in her home state of Pennsylvania.
In his Facebook post, Romani's father discussed how she had long struggled with mental health conditions and drug and substance abuse.
"Every person and family have been affected, either directly or indirectly, by mental health problems as well as drug and alcohol addiction," he wrote. "No one is exempt."
