A cause of death has been confirmed for gay adult star Christian Styles following the performer’s tragic passing at the age of 29.
Styles, who had amassed a large online following on social media and OnlyFans in recent years, was found dead on 20 August.
The adult content craeator’s Jaghab’s death was caused by alcohol and mitragynine toxicity, according to a Wayne County Medical Examiner autopsy seen by People.
A toxicology report found that Styles had a blood alcohol content of 0.168% and a blood mitragynine level of 87 ng/mL. The medical examiner noted that combined use o the two substances “increases the risk of sudden death”.
Mitragnine is more commonly known as Kratom. At low doses, kratom produces stimulant effects, and at high doses can produce a sedative effect.
Side effects from kratom use can include phychosis, hallucinations, delusion and confusion.
While not controlled under the Controlled Substances Act in the US, it has been listed by the Drug Enforcement Association (DEA) as a drug and chemical of concern. It is addictive and has not been approved for any medical use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Born Zachary Christian Jaghab in January 1997, Styles was raised in Michigan and began working in the adult entertainment industry in 2021, building a following as both a performer and an online content creator.
In 2023, he was recognised at the GayVN Awards, winning a fan-voted award alongside performer Chris Damned, and went on to receive further nominations the following year.
In a family obituary, he was remembered as a “cherished son”, “beloved brother” and “adored uncle”, survived by his parents, siblings, nieces and nephew, and “many loving aunts, uncles, cousins, and dear friends”.
