TRANSGENDER STAR JAHNA STEELE DIED OF ACCIDENTAL OVERDOSE
Transgender entertainment legend Jahna Steele died from an accidental overdose of drugs, including cocaine and morphine, the Clark County Coroner's office confirmed Tuesday.
Steele, 49, died Jan. 24 at a friend's home in Las Vegas. During the early 1990's, she was voted the sexiest and "most beautiful showgirl" before an expose by "A Current Affair" outed her as a transexual and cost her her job as host of the "Crazy Girls" topless revue at the Riviera Hotel.
The cause of death, according to the Coroner's office, came from a mix of cocaine, morphine and hydromorphone.
She returned to Las Vegas in 2004 as host of "The World's Most Beautiful Transexual Contest" at the Riviera.
