We can now confirm the rumors and with great sadness, report that gay porn star Kyle Dean has passed away at 21 years young.
Rumors of Kyle’s death began last week, (see original post below) and regrettably, those rumors have proven to be true.
According to his obituary, Kyle passed away on September 28, 2018.
The exact cause of death has yet to be released. However several that knew him have stated his death appears to be drug-related and that addiction was something has long struggled with.
As detailed below, an additional aspect of this sad event is that scammers and swindlers have apparently used this an excuse for a final round of money-grubbing from the moment the rumors surfaced.
Was Kyle an angel in life? No. Did he leave this earth way before his time? Yes.
Kyle will be laid to rest on Saturday, October 13th.
Our sincere condolences to friend and family.

#FakeNews may have really hit Gay Porn Land this time: did Kyle Dean really die and/or are scammers grubbing for money regardless?
Gay porn, and therefore, gay porn stars are what we cover at The Sword.
This story is my least favorite kind: those filed under “news whether I like it or not.”
As first chronicled by MenInPorn, the rumor is that Kyle Dean, most recently with GayHoopla and the former Nash of Corbin Fisher, has died.
Or has he? The purpose of this post is not to stoke the fires of the rumor mill. It’s to tell his fans not to reach for the tissues just yet. And for G-d sakes, don’t make any donations to his funeral fund.
On his model, not personal, Instagram, a fan got things started with this post. “For a long time this kid was my brother and was truly my first bestfriend. Rest easy young king thanks for the unforgettable memories.”
This is Jerfry, Brandon’s roomate as you guys may know, in the early hours on yesterday Brandon sadly passed away in a struggle to survive I’ve spent the last days mourning and trying to gather up fees for his funeral. Please donate as much as you can😢💙

Then, this showed up and is still pinned to his Twitter feed linking to a GoFundMe Page complete with an obituary and a money beg for funeral expenses. That GFM page has since been deleted.
Then this Tweet showed up two days after his alleged passing …
I apologise for all I’ve done deep down I hope you guys forgive me.

Confused fans were wondering if that was Kyle apologizing for the “misunderstanding”. Others are saying this was always a fake twitter account to begin with. In which case, why would the “fake Kyle” post that and contradict his own story. You know what they say about remembering lies. Apparently that extends to the one right in front of you.
In a now also deleted five-page thread on LPSG entitled “#RIP Kyle Dean” and also allegedly on Facebook, his parents and girlfriend confirmed he died of an overdose.
Meanwhile, PornBaseCentral reports both the news of Kyle’s passing along with a warning, “Initial news reports may be unreliable.”
The latest update comes from a commenter who follows Kyle’s personal IG.
“He noted this post from that account, the fact Kyle hasn’t posted in four days and added this comment: I’m starting to think he has passed away. I also think the scammer with the fake Kyle Dean twitter account is taking advantage of the situation with a fake GoFundMe account. It’s all sad :(”
Kyle was no angel. He used social media for money begging and as Str8UpGayPorn reported, for to get scenes and ummm, uber rides.
South Florida Gay News covered when Kyle was arrested and later released on drug charges.
A search for an obituary under his real full name as obtained by his arrest report came back with nothing.
Anyone passing at just 28-years-old is a sad thing no matter no matter how scummily they may have lived their lives.
But it’s exactly how Brandon AKA Kyle lived his life that causes so many questions about the possibility of death.
Should the new be true, our condolences to Brandon’s friends and family.
Should that not be true and internet scammers were exploiting the rumor for their own ill-gotten gain, that makes me mad.
Should both be true: Brandon has in fact died and the scammers are using that for once last exploitive haul, that makes me queasy.
And as one conspiracy theorist wondered, if Brandon faked his own death and is on the take, well, that makes me throw up in my mouth.
Perhaps time will tell one way or another. Watch this blog.
Meh… Pretty butter face, He was just a average white guy with muscles, also never bottomed (which is a very turn off) in scenes and pretty mediocre performer… So meh…
in some weird way I miss him idk y I just do and my condolences are with the family
Try to imagine how much I care. (Now, divide that in half.) Good riddance to this piece of shit. My heartfelt condolences go out to all those individuals this asshole scammed out of money. The majority of actors in porn are good people. When someone like this turd takes his life, it casts an undeserved shadow over the legit guys just out there trying to make a living. Next story, please.
rest in peace to this beautiful guy. and fuck anyone who says different. if u said anything mean abt him i hope u get shot in the face and have to live thru it
Just send money. It’s all about money.
Right. Pretty white boy so let’s feel bad for him. Meanwhile, so many people die on the streets from drug addiction and no one cares.
Yeah. I get what you mean. Also people OD every single day and somehow when Demi Lovato does it we’re supposed to believe she’s some kind of brave heroine?
Total butter face.
I’m a flippant bastard but all snark aside, this is such a tragic, terrible loss. I’m reminded of that line from ‘Down by Law’ — “It’s a sad and beautiful world.”
