Gay porn star Roman Mercury has passed away, according to a social media post by fellow performer Greg Dixxon. The post came late on February 27th, with few details on the circumstances.
Dixxon said the post was approved by Mercury’s close family in California, and that his ashes will be spread in the nearby ocean.
Born in Brazil, Mercury was 45 and based in Las Vegas. He made his studio debut in 2022 in a scene with Beau Butler in Raging Stallion’s Heavy Load Movers. The creator had a presence on his fan site platforms, then started doing more studio work last year. He performed at TheBroNetwork and Pantheon. He also made a return to Raging Stallion, having two scenes in the recent film Hardwood Lodge, and two scenes in the Raging Stallion/MenAtPlay collab Executive Order. He earned two GayVN Award nominations at this year’s show, both for group scenes.
Director Steve Cruz, who directed Mercury at Raging, along with fellow performers expressed their condolences on social media.
The community is now mourning two deaths in just a matter of days, as gay porn legend Tim Kruger also passed away this past week.
All of us at The Sword send our deepest sympathies to all of Roman’s loved ones.
