R.I.P. Rylan Knox: Relative Porn Newcomer Hangs Himself

Rylan Knox, the attractive blond bottom who was recently featured in Falcon’s Poolside 2 and NakedSword’s Bulge, has apparently committed suicide.

As Str8UpGayPorn reported via Knox’s friend Nick Cross on Twitter, Knox hanged himself in his boyfriend’s apartment on Thursday, or possibly late Wednesday.

 

 

 

 

 

The circumstances of and motivation for the suicide are, obviously, unknown.

His most recent scene partner, Ryan Rose, took to Twitter to say, “LIFES SHORT” and to tell followers to “love thy self.”

Below, a couple of shots of Rylan, and some footage of him behind the scenes on the set of Bulge, in Florida, where he lived.

  1. Why? Why? Why? Why? I’m really sad about this. Sometimes it is very difficult to understand this. Rest in peace, Rylan knox.

  2. So sad to hear…Rest in peace sweet Rylan. God bless your beautiful soul. My thoughts and prayers are with you and all of your family, friends and colleagues. Much love <3

  3. Adult work is harder than legit acting, I think, which is bad enough. You need a hard edge to survive. His suicide may have been unrelated, but performers are front line, and everything from bad reviews, to people treating you as the “actor persona” can get to a person.

    I am so sorry to learn of this.

  4. UGH!!! @bugcatcher1

    This man is beyond redemption. “Why didn’t others notice?”, “Committing the selfish act”.

    Dayum ! He is living in la-la land. Despite losing a relative he can’t understand depression and he blames the victim.

    I agree with James… “Hush !”. Actually I would say, just “shut your face”. The lack of empathy from this man is unbelievable !!

  5. I have a question and this is a totally legit question but I am curious. Porn is not an easy industry, people will say shit about you, and treat you like you are a low life, but Im curious as to how many porn studios get counselors to come in and talk with their models every once in a while?
    If the answer is known, given the chaotic nature of the industry, the mental beating and situations like this, then shouldn’t more studios think about that.
    When a student is killed or kills themselves, counselors are brought in to help. Are studios doing the same. Im sure the issues he had were not exclusive to him and maybe other models may be feeling like him. As a counselor, I think this is the perfect time to think about having models go thru counseling sessions whether group or individual. Let’s be proactive in making sure another young life is not lost.
    Now, I am not placing blame on studios for this young mans death, but he isn’t the first an unfortunately won’t be the last.
    I think it times studios think about that as part of taking care of their models.

    Peace and love to him and his family. -OneLuv

  6. Why are these people from a first world countries doing that idiotic unforgiveable things most of the time when they have EVERYTHING in life. Japan, South Korea and the U.S..hmm money cant buy happiness yeah for sure.

  7. Big hugs to Rylan and all his family and friends. Hang in there guys. I’m so sorry for your loss. Rylan was a beautiful boy, I’m honored to spend a day with him in Florida.

    Boys – please reach out if you’re sad and the pain is too much to handle. The tears will eventually stop and these moments will pass. It gets better so keep fighting!

    big hugs & love to all my boys…
    mr. Pam

    1. Yeah, because everyone is depressed decides to do gay porn. What a fucking ridiculous statement!!!

      Here are you are villafying someone for doing porn and I bet tonight you’re going to drop your pants and jerk off to someone getting fucked on screen.

      Doing porn and being depressed are two totally different things.

      1. People think porn will be so much fun, nothing But a lot of strung out junkies and hookers.
        They do porn because it’s easy cash, once their looks go they are considered useless and most turn to hooking online.
        But now there is rentmen and these other sites where you can hook it and then become a pornstar.

  8. What a tragedy – I too lost a relative through the tragic senseless form of suicide – why didn’t his so called friend notice the signs? I hope other young gay men in similar states get help rather than committing the selfish act of depriving their presence from loved ones

    1. WTF? Dude. What’s your problem? Why didn’t you notice the signs in your relative?! Instead of throwing out “internet rage” why not just offer condolences and move on?

      RIP and peace to Rylan’s family and friends.

    2. This is still so surreal to me. He was THE funniest and genuinely happy people I have ever encountered. The countless memories I have of my sweet little baby (I’ll keep his real name anonymous) are happy and hilarious. I was proud to call him my friend of many years. It goes to show you that you never know what somebody is going through. He is the last person in my life I would think would do this. It’s so sad.
