Bunny Ranch brothel owner Dennis Hof died Tuesday, and DailyMail.com can reveal he had just had sex with one of his own prostitutes.

In an exclusive interview, porn actor Ron Jeremy revealed how he discovered the 72-year-old's lifeless body on Tuesday at the Love Ranch South in Crystal, Nevada.

Hours earlier Hof had been celebrating his birthday at a campaign event in the Nugget Hotel in Parhump, Nevada as he prepared to compete in the general election for a seat in the House of Representatives.

Joining him at the event were his girlfriend Heidi Fleiss and former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

Jeremy told DailyMail.com: 'Dennis was in great spirits and told me it was the best night of his life.

'We headed back to the Love Ranch South and got there about 11pm. At about midnight, Dennis went back to his private suite with Dasha Dare, she is a relatively new girl to the ranch. It's the same suite that Lamar Odom overdosed in.

'Dasha spent two hours with Dennis before leaving him and joining me at the bar with a few other women. Dasha said they had sex and nothing had been wrong with Dennis.

'I left the girls and went to bed at around 230am. I got up around 1030am and I was expecting to see Dennis. He is an early riser and we had an event to go to on the campaign that morning.

'I figured he'd overslept because of the birthday party. I went into his room and he was lying his bed. I shook him by the shoulders, but there was no movement and I thought he was in a deep sleep.

'I've played a joke on him in the past where I throw off his sheets to wake him up. He was naked and still wasn't moving. I then went back to the bar and asked the girls for help to wake him up.

'I realized something was seriously wrong when we returned. His skin was cold and rigamortis had already begun in his arm.

'Some of the girls there had CPR training. They called 911 and the operator was telling them to resuscitate him. Dasha was freaking out and praying. One of the house moms had to remove her from the area.'

Nye County Sheriff's Office is on the scene and investigating Hof's death.

His chief of staff Zach Hames told DailyMail.com: 'We are all pretty much devastated. Last night he was fine at the campaign rally.

'Ron Jeremy went to wake up Dennis about 11am this morning and found him dead in his bed. He must have died in his sleep.'

Hours prior the two men had been celebrating Hof's birthday with friends including Heidi Fleiss.

The registered Republican, who nicknamed himself 'the Trump from Pahrump' was known to many for his role in the HBO series Cathouse, and found himself a fixture in the news cycle back in 2015 when Lamar Odom overdosed at one of his facilities.

He was also facing an allegation of rape and being investigated for human trafficking at the time of his death.

His longtime domestic partner Heidi Fleiss told DailyMail.com that she was with Hof and Jeremy as the group 'drove from Reno to Pahrump on Monday,' saying the three had a 'good time.'

'On the way down on the drive on the 8-hour drive, Dennis was joking about Ron's health and how he needed to take better care of himself. We were all making fun of Ron and just generally life,' said Fleiss.

'His diet was so unhealthy, I told him months ago to start eating healthy. Dennis was really excited about the future. I'm devastated about his death im still in shock over it.'

'No cause of death has been determined, but no foul play is suspected,' said Hof's campaign manager Chuck Muth on Twitter.

'I'm told the Clark County coroner will conduct an autopsy,' said Muth, who rushed to the Love Ranch Vegas after hearing of Hof's death.

Muth had also been in attendance at Hof's party the night before, where he shared a number of photos of the guests, who in addition to Jeremy included pardoned sheriff Joe Arpaio and anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist.

He began building his empire in 1992 with the Moonlite Bunny Ranch, and at the time of death owned seven legal brothels in the state of Nevada.

He got a huge boost in 2002 when HBO began airing the docuseries Cathouse, which filmed at his brothels.

That ran for 12 years, with two extended specials in 2005 and 2007. Hof also released a book in 2015, The Art of the Pimp.

Hof's political aspirations were something new, with the Libertarian electing to register as a Republican in 2016 in response to the success of Donald Trump.

'It's all because Donald Trump was the Christopher Columbus for me,' said Hof after his primary victory in June.

'He found the way and I jumped on it.'

At the time of his death, Hof had been looking to sell some of his properties to focus on politics.

He will still be in the race too, despite his sudden death.

Nevada Deputy Secretary of State for Elections Wayne Thorley says that since ballots with Hof's name have been printed and mailed to voters he will not be removed from the race.

He did note however that signs will be posted at polling places notifying voters that the candidate has died.

Monday night was his second birthday celebration, having also had a party over the weekend.

Videos from that party which were obtained by DailyMail.com show Hof at the Roadhouse Bunny Ranch and Bar on Friday.

Hof was hosting a Save Our Brothels Party, attended by singers Afroman, Keak Da Sneak and Johnny Buss, a partial owner of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Holding the microphone as he sat in the front row, Hof shouted to his porn star pal Jeremy, saying: 'Play a song! Lets get dancing! Ron Jeremy, we love you!'

His brothels have not always been places of joy.

Hof owned the brothel where Odom spent $79,000 during a four-day bender back in 2015 with two women.

He said at the time that he planned to sue Khloe Kardashian if any problems came about with the payment of the basketball player's bill - while he was still in a coma.

'If I don't get paid for the entire bill, I'll sue Khloe, I know she has the money,' said Hof.
