Gay Porn Star Rocky Succombs to Cancer
Dear God: I told you last week no more porn star deaths! Are you not listening? Here's the fourth reported death this week! And just yesterday, I had to inform a friend of Sean Masters' demise in the spring. He's barely even cold yet, I'm still getting the word out about him, and there's four more to follow! (Plus, I also read that Tammy Faye Baker is now in hospice care, which means she's near the end, too. ) Enough already!
HOLLYWOOD, CA -- The "Adams Report by JC Adams" has learned that performer Rocky died on Thursday, December 7th in Los Angeles. He was 26 years old. His agent David Forest notified the industry of his passing.
Rocky was diagnosed with cancer in May, 2006 and was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in West Hollywood. When he died, he was undergoing chemotherapy as he battled the cancer and other AIDS-related illnesses.
Wednesday, December 6 director Matt Sterling and performer Andy Dill passed away; performer Kirby Scott died a few weeks earlier.
Rocky "had been HIV-positive for three years," Mr. Forest told us early this morning. "Rocky never left Cedars all these months. Chemotherapy and radiation treatment...made him even sicker, so [doctors] stopped and just tried to keep him comfortable until they could resume. They did resume the past few months but couldn't arrest the deadly disease. I have confirmed with his family that he did leave us this last Thursday."
One of gay adult's popular supporting players, Rocky appeared in roughly 30 films between 2001 and 2004. He was active on the social scene and made frequent personal appearances.
Some of Rocky's titles include THE BACHELOR (All Worlds Video, 2003); COWBOY RIDES AGAIN (Big Blue Productions, 2004); CRASH OF THE TITANS (Big Blue, 2001); PALMER'S LUST (Pacific Sun Entertainment); QUARTERBACK SACK (Jocks Studios); THE SCOUT CLUB (Studio 2000, 2002); and TULSA COUNTY LINE (Men of Odyssey, 2001).
Rocky, whose birth name was Ernest Juarez, is survived by his parents and a younger sister. Our condolences to his family, friends and fans.
