In Tribute Brandie May was an American porn star and adult model who was in the adult entertainment industry from 2005 to 2010. Tragically, on July 5, 2014, Brandi, who by then was retired from the porn industry and living in Blairsville, Georgia, and who was pregnant with her third child, was killed, beaten to death by her then common-law husband and long-term romantic partner Todd Sparks in a murder-suicide; the two older children the couple had together were able to survive her partner's previous attempt to kill her and the four of them by carbon monoxide poisoning before this. All after having become enraged at her while in a heated argument, he killed her and the unborn baby and then committed suicide.
