Lorissa Deanna McComas (November 26, 1970 – November 3, 2009) was an American actress, film producer and glamour model.

Biography

McComas studied ballet as a child and graduated from Princeton High School in Sharonville, Ohio in 1988. She became an Education major at Miami University before she started stripping and modeling.

McComas built a successful strip-O-gram service up in Cincinnati (Ohio) after college. In 1990 she was arrested along with another stripper on charges of prostitution, by Hamilton County police: she had allowed a guest at a bachelor party to tuck a dollar bill into a garter just above her knee; this was treated as a form of prostitution under the very strict Cincinnati ordinances of that time.

She was featured in literally hundreds of magazines and calendars since her first Playboy magazine modeling job, starting in 1991. By 1994, she was the owner of Extasy Entertainment, a company that provided strippers to clients in the Cincinnati area. Cincinnati had no strip bars during this time period.

The majority of her work consisted both in nude modeling and costarring in a variety of softcore erotic films, in addition to supporting roles in B-movies and TV programs.

In 2005 she relocated to Melbourne, Florida, allegedly so she could provide assistance caring for her ill mother. In 2006 she disclosed she was suffering from Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, a rare and severe form of neuroinflammatory and dysautonomic disorder causing chronic pain, neurovascular, and neuropathic symptoms.

Death and controversy

McComas died on November 3, 2009, in Waverly, Virginia. Although some reports claim she died by a self-inflicted gunshot wound, there are some friends or acquaintances that have claimed there was foul play involved in her death; suspicion lies with McComas husband, Doug Taylor, whom Lorissa had filed for divorce in 2006 and moved away from, relocating from Melbourne (Florida) to Waverly (Virginia), after allegedly accusing Taylor of being an abusive and alcoholic husband.

During this time she was in the process of winning back custody of her son, who was taken from her by the Florida CPS due to unfit living conditions, these conditions being supposedly Taylor's drunken and gun-slinging behavior, like shooting a gun through a door knowing their son was on the other side. Apparently , Doug Taylor came to Waverly and began a near 3 year cycle of abuse until McComas alleged suicide on 2009. Though Lorissa's death was ruled a suicide by the Waverly Police Department there were massive irregularities in Doug Taylor's alibis (he changed his story no less than 3 times in the first four hours), as well as several pieces of evidence that, according to some of McComas friends —and the website Lorissa McComas Truth—, strongly suggest that Taylor's actions are the real cause of her death: several residents of Waverly have stated that Taylor was abusive and irrational during the period leading up to McComas' death, most importantly the night prior to and the morning of her death; apparently Lorissa McComas did not know how to use a pump shotgun (the suicide weapon), and her fingerprints were not on the gun. Also, neither powder burns or gunshot residue were found on her hands.

Despite some of the suspicious details regarding McComas' death investigation, and although an online petition for Virginia State Police to reopen the investigation in the death of Lorissa McComas was created in Change.org on October 2013 ("Virginia State Police: Re open the investigation in the death of Lorissa McComas"), it has since been closed, and the Virginia Police has refused to revise or reopen the investigation.
