She Was Just Twenty Four When She Posted a Haunting Final Message and Days Later She Was Gone Leaving Friends Fans and an Entire Industry in Shock and Searching for Answers

It’s the kind of headline that makes you freeze for a moment, reading it over again because it doesn’t seem possible. Lina Bina — just 24, full of energy and humor, known to her fans as Miss John Dough — was discovered lifeless in her home in Polk County, Florida. Only days before, she had posted a brief, almost offhand message on X: “Sorry I’ve been so ghost. I’m going through a lot of s**t right now.” No one realized those words would be her final goodbye.

Her cousin, Miguel Santiago, confirmed the heartbreaking truth, urging people to keep their loved ones close because “you don’t know when’s the last time you’re gonna see them or even speak to them.”

Friends and fellow creators have been pouring their grief online. “Lina was so loving, caring… long live Miss John Doe,” wrote Sweet Monae, who admitted she still can’t process what’s happened. Others described her as a beautiful soul gone far too soon, struggling to imagine the pain her family must be feeling.

Her death is part of a tragic and unsettling pattern. In just three years, at least eight women from the adult entertainment world — many in their twenties — have died unexpectedly. Overdoses. Mental health battles. Toxic relationships. Names like Kylie Page, Sophia Leone, and Jesse Jane have become part of a growing list no one wants to see grow longer.

For some, the headlines are a grim reminder of how isolating and dangerous the industry can be, especially for women. For others, it’s simply the unbearable shock of losing someone who once lit up every room she walked into.

Now, Lina’s final words linger online — a message read by hundreds of thousands, many wishing they had reached out, wondering if it could have made a difference. Sometimes the saddest part of a goodbye is realizing you didn’t know it was the last one.
