Ron Jeremy says he found Dennis Hof’s body

A porn star who attended Dennis Hof’s birthday party says he and a woman found the pimp’s body.

Ron Jeremy says he went to check on Hof on Tuesday after he failed to meet him to travel to a scheduled event.

Authorities say Hof was found unconscious and later pronounced dead in his private residence at his Love Ranch brothel west of Las Vegas.

Hof owned a handful of brothels in Nevada and previously starred in an HBO series about his business.

His name will remain on the November ballot as the Republican nominee for a state Legislative seat. He had held a rally Monday night in Pahrump, about an hour from Las Vegas.

Jeremy described Hof as a “teddy bear,” who was a good friend and “not a great enemy to have.”
