[3] The majority of her work consisted both in nude modeling and costarring in a variety of softcore erotic films,[4] in addition to supporting roles in B-movies and TV programs.

In 2006 she disclosed she was suffering from Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy,[5] a rare and severe form of neuroinflammatory and dysautonomic disorder causing chronic pain, neurovascular, and neuropathic symptoms.

[2] 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;[6] 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.

[6] Apparently , Doug Taylor came to Waverly and began a near 3 year cycle of abuse until McComas alleged suicide on 2009.

[6] 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),[6] 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,[6] most importantly the night prior to and the morning of her death;[6] apparently Lorissa McComas did not know how to use a pump shotgun (the suicide weapon), and her fingerprints were not on the gun.
