KING CITY, Calif. - Maryam I. Haley, a.k.a. Haley Paige, who appeared
in over 300 adult titles between 2002 and 2007, passed away August 21,
according to the King
City coroner's office.
The cause of her death is still under investigation, awaiting the results of a toxicology
report.
Haley's body was released to
a mortuary August 27. A spokesperson for the coroner's office said it is
typical for toxicology reports to take between four and six weeks to be
returned following an autopsy.
Rumors of Haley's
death began circulating in the adult industry in September. She had by
most accounts vanished over the past two months, along with boyfriend Inkyo
Volt Hwang, a.k.a. director Chico
"Wanker" Wang. Hwang was
arrested June 29 for allegedly beating and kidnapping Haley, but was released
July 3 with no charges filed.
The coroner's office spokesperson confirmed to AVN that Hwang was interviewed by the King
City police several days
after her death. Calls to the King City police department
were not immediately returned.
As to another circulated
rumor that Haley died of a heroin overdose, the spokesperson
for the coroner's office said she had no track marks that would indicate such a
cause, but it was hypothetically possible if she smoked the substance.
A longtime associate of
Hwang's, Hung Lo, spoke to AVN and stressed that Hwang was good to Haley, and
did everything he could to get her off of drugs. "That's what he wanted
for her," Lo said. "He loved her."
