TRANS porn star Angelina Please may have died after taking “fentanyl-laced ketamine” her devastated mother believes, as she delivers a stark warning to partygoers taking drugs.
The 24-year-old internet sensation was found dead by police during a welfare check at her Las Vegas apartment on March 15 – days after being reported missing by family.

Angelina, whose real name is Francesca Montalbano, had previously battled with an addiction to methamphetamine, but had recently only been taking ketamine, her mom claims.
She was found dead in her living room and family say cops found drug paraphernalia near her “unrecognizable” body after friends spent hours banging on her front door.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, her mom Stephanie Montalbano said: “She was doing ketamine. But they put fentanyl in everything nowadays, just a line is enough to kill you.
“She’d been clean from meth for over a year but she was still dabbling in party drugs.
“I could tell her until I was blue in the face not to do it, and why you shouldn’t do it, but she would just hide it from me and I didn’t want her to do that.
“I don’t want to be friends with my children, I want to be a parent, but I also want to know what they’re up to and I want to give them safe advice if I’m able to.
“I’ve lost other people, I want everybody to have the Narcan [spray], and don’t do drugs alone, always have a buddy.”
Naloxone, also known as Narcan, is a prescription medicine that rapidly reverses an opioid overdose in the case of an emergency.
Fentanyl deaths are on the rise in America and many experts have warned it has become an epidemic.
Stephanie, who last spoke to her daughter on the phone from her Chicago home on March 11, says the pair were incredibly close and she supported her transition as her son Lonnie is also trans.
She is traveling to Nevada to identify her daughter’s decomposed body and still doesn’t believe her death is real.
“I’ve been crying for two days and waking up in the middle of the night,” she said through tears.
“I just knew. But I kept saying, ‘She’s going to be so angry at us, she’s going to be like come on mom it’s only been a few days, why would you call people and talk to my friends?'”
Stephanie had reported her daughter missing to police in Las Vegas and a close friend of Angelina’s had been banging on her apartment door before cops arrived.
“I’m devastated, when I finally heard [that she had died], it was very guttural, I know her friend didn’t want to have to be the one to tell me.
“I don’t know how long she’d been there, she was found in the living room, she was unrecognizable so they can’t identify her.
“I can’t remember what we talked about last, but I said I love you, we always said I love you.”
Stephanie’s daughter told her she was looking forward to attending the AVN Awards in Las Vegas, where she was nominated for the category of ‘Trans Performer of the Year.’
‘SHE WAS UNRECOGNIZABLE’
She was stressed and worrying about her outfit, but was excited about the event, which is why her mom feels she didn’t take her own life and the overdose was accidental.
A spokesperson for the Clark County Medical Examiner confirmed Francesca’s death to The Sun, but could not give any further details saying it is a “pending case.”
“She was on antidepressants, the doctor said she was on the lower spectrum of being a manic depressive or bipolar,” Stephanie told The Sun. “But I think it was absolutely an accident.”
Angelina’s mom and her dad Jim have been married for more than 30 years and have always supported their daughter and her lifestyle when she decided to go into porn.
They said she began as a webcam model some years ago before dating her ex-boyfriend, porn star Luke Hudson, who she broke up with around a year ago.
“We just wanted her to be happy, as long as she was safe,” Stephanie said. “She had a lot of fans and I’ve been blown away by all the support we’ve had.
Her family has already raised more than $20K after launching a page on GoFundMe to bring Francesca’s body back to Chicago, where she grew up, for burial ahead of her funeral.
Her brother Lonnie wrote: “We just want for Francesca what she should be given in her final moment here until she is buried and bringing her memories and prized possessions home with us that we do not give away/donate.
MORE THAN A PORN STAR
“We want all of her friends and family to attend her memorial. Once we fly into Nevada we will have a better idea of when her service will happen.
“I will update you all on our plans and keep everyone in the loop as to what is going on with my sister. We hope to see you soon to put faces to the many names who have come out in support of my sister and her family.”
Francesca’s mom described her daughter as being more than a porn star, explaining: “She was very independent, very strong spirited, very smart.
“She was just getting back into writing which she’d done ever since she was a kid.”
She said the OnlyFans star loved her job and was not planning on having full surgery as she was popular on-screen with fans and didn’t want to lose sensation during sex.
“It wasn’t that important to her, she was who she was and didn’t care,” Stephanie said.
“She was making a living being the transgender person in the body that she was in.
“She was talking about after acting in movies she might also go into producing them, she had a lot of plans.”
