[UPDATED] RIP: Gay Porn Star Dimitri Kane Dead At 20
Str8UpGayPorn can unfortunately confirm that gay porn star Dimitri Kane has died. According to a source close to Kane, the 20-year-old performer took his own life in Florida on Sunday.
Kane, whose family in New Jersey was notified of his death yesterday, performed for various studios over the past two years, including ManRoyale, Pride Studios, and Men.com, which just released one of his scenes on Saturday. NextDoorStudios is scheduled to release a scene starring Dimitri Kane (with Markie More) tomorrow. Given the circumstances, they’ll hopefully delay that release.
Kane’s death comes less than a week after the tragic loss of another young performer, Helix Studios’ model Zac Stevens.
Update: A source close to Dimitri Kane’s family (who were all aware of and supportive of the performer’s adult film career) has now told Str8UpGayPorn that his death was due to an accidental drug overdose, not suicide. An autopsy is still pending, and this post will be updated as details become available.
Update 2: The Broward County Medical Examiner is classifying Kane’s death as a suicide, per South Florida Gay News.
