Adult performer Lea DeMae passed away earlier today in a hospital in Prague, AVN.com has learned.
DeMae's long-time agent and friend, Oldrich Widman, said he actually was on his way to visit her when her sister Lucie called him with the sad news. DeMae had been fighting a rare form of brain cancer.
"She died three hours ago," Widman told AVN.com. "I just left the family a couple minutes ago and they are organizing the funeral tomorrow. She got the best treatment she could get. Unfortunately, we couldn't help her more than we did.
"I'm still a little bit stressed. I didn't expect this. Monday I heard she was getting better, and we were so happy and we just got this bad news."
DeMae, a popular star that had a six-year adult performing and modeling career, would've turned 28 on Dec. 26. She earned a nomination for AVN Foreign Female Performer of the Year for the 2004 ceremony.
Some of DeMae's more recent work included performances in Wet Dreams Cum True 2 (Zero Tolerance), Broken English (Platinum X), Dripping Wet Sex 5 and Juicy G-Spots (Simon Wolf) and 2003 compilation from Private, The Private Life of Lea DeMae.
She also landed the September 2004 cover and centerfold of Hustler.
