The adult star’s body was found by roommate and fellow performer Jaxton Wheeler over the weekend.
An award-winning gay porn star has been found dead at his home in Las Vegas.
The body of Alexander Gustavo, 33, was reportedly found by fellow performer and roommate, Jaxton Wheeler, on Saturday (December 17).
Gustavo, who started out in both gay and straight porn in 2012 and identified as bisexual, died from a self-inflicted gun shot wound to the head, Str8UpGayPorn.com reports. He leaves behind a son and girlfriend.
Mourning the loss of his friend, Jaxton told the site: “I’ve lost friends, but for it to be my best friend; he was like my brother. We really enjoyed working together… he looked out for me and I looked out for him.
“To know that he didn’t say one thing to me, didn’t reach out, [and] to find him with his girlfriend and her son following right behind me. It just keeps playing over and over in my head.”
In the wake of his death, the adult entertainment industry paid tribute to Gustavo on Twitter.
In a statement, Falcon Studios wrote that Gustavo would be “missed greatly”, while fellow porn star Trenton Ducati said he was “in tears” at the news.
Rest with the Angels, Alexander Gustavo…you will be missed greatly. Our hearts go out to all your family and friends.
