(EDGE) A GoFundMe page created gay porn actor Tyler Sky says the young performer died in New York on August 27. He was 26.
The news comes from gay porn news site Str8UpGayPorn (extremely NSFW), which shared the GoFundMe Page for Sky, whose real name is Hunter Freeman.
According to the donation site, Sky suffered a cardiac arrest and did not recover. The GoFundMePage is asking for donations to help his family pay for a memorial service and cremation.
Str8UpGayPorn (again, extremely NSFW) calls Sky a "prolific and extremely talented performer," adding that he appeared in "Dozens of scenes" for a number of gay porn studios, including FraternityX, GuysInSweatpants and ColbyKnox.
Colby Chambers, who owns ColbyKnox and is a friend of Sky, took to Twitter in light of his passing. He also shared a message from Sky's wife.
