Disturbing news that we've lost another gay porn star. Although details are sketchy at this point, former Rascal Exclusive Cole Ryder died of a staph infection in his sleep.

One of the first of a crop of more-masculine and hairy studio exclusives, Cole was signed by Rascal in 2006, where he went on to appear in Link: The Evolution, When Bears Attack, and others. He appeared on the cover of the October 2006 issue of Unzipped and the cover of Leather Sessions.

Channel 1 also released the Cole Ryder Cock, a dildo molded off him. After Rascal, he appeared in Cruising Ground for Mustang.

I'll be updating this entry with more info as it comes.
