Shannon Wilsey Death Cause

According to wikipedia, Wilsey died by suicide in 1994 by shooting herself after a car accident.

On the evening of July 11, Wilsey was involved in an auto accident with her Corvette in which she reportedly broke her nose and injured her face.

Upset over the accident, she went home to Universal City, asked a friend to walk her dog, and then called her manager, Nancy Pera. It was Pera who later discovered Wilsey in the garage of Wilsey’s home.

Wilsey did not die immediately; she died hours later in the hospital, after her father decided to shut down her life support systems once it became obvious that she would not survive her injury.

Wilsey’s ex-boyfriend, comedian Pauly Shore, stated that he was with her when she died in St. Joseph’s Hospital in Burbank.

Wilsey’s funeral, two days later, was attended by friends, family, and limited numbers of adult industry associates. Shore was the only one of her ex-boyfriends to attend the service.

Of Wilsey, Shore said, “She was the nicest, most beautiful girl I ever met … [her death] was a very dramatic thing for me.” When asked why she killed herself, he said, “She became Savannah. She became her character, who was into drugs, and needed reassurance all the time. She forgot who Shannon was … I knew she wanted out.”

Wilsey’s death was the third high-profile suicide in the adult industry.

After her death, Bill Margold founded Protecting Adult Welfare (P.A.W.), a non-profit organization that provides counseling for adult performers in need.

Her body was cremated and the ashes given to family & friends.
