Don Lemmon, adult performer Asia Carrera’s husband, died in an auto accident near Las Vegas Saturday night.
Lemmon was returning to his Utah home from a business trip when he rolled his Jeep across several lanes of traffic on a highway, apparently killing him instantly, his wife said on her Web site Sunday.
She could not be reached for comment. According to police, the single-car accident took place around 9:30 Saturday night near Las Vegas.
“There was an RN (registered nurse) in the car behind him. She tried to help Don, but there was nothing she could do. I can only hope it means he died quickly and maybe painlessly,” she wrote.
“He’s never coming back to me. My husband, my soulmate, my other half. The one I was meant to grow with. I’m almost eight months pregnant with a son he will never get to see and I have a one-year-old daughter who will never be able to remember anything about her father.”
Bud Lee, AVN Hall of Fame member and Carrera’s ex-husband, was at her side Monday, assisting her with funeral arrangements.
“She’s devastated. There’s no doubt about it. She and Don were extremely close. They were best friends and you couldn’t see one without the other, so it’s a terrible loss,” Lee said.
“Her fans have really responded and she’s very appreciative of their support.”
Lee said Carrera, 32, will hold a private memorial service and will have his remains cremated.
