[UPDATED] RIP: Gay Porn Performer Zac Stevens Dead At 25
Str8UpGayPorn can confirm the sad news that gay porn performer Zac Stevens has died. He was just 25 years old.
Stevens, who performed regularly for Helix Studios and Men.com over the past two years, died in San Diego this week. His family is awaiting news from the medical examiner as to the cause of death.
[Update 12/9/15: The San Diego coroner’s office has determined that Zac Stevens did commit suicide. As far as how and where, a source tells Str8UpGayPorn that the 25-year-old jumped to his death from a bridge in San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter, and his body was found on a Marriott hotel balcony by a guest staying in the room. Last month, the San Diego Reader reported on a suicide under the exact same circumstances, but the coroner has not confirmed that it was in fact Stevens’ body on the balcony.]
