American gay porn director and blogger on LGBT related stuff John Tegan has died. I didn't post this in the porn star thread as he was a director.
However don't ask me how I happened to stumble across obscure gay porn related news.......
I do not think he will go this year, but he has obviously gotten very frail and not taking proper care of himself, resigning himself to a wheelchair for photographs and not appearing to have shaved for a good bit.
Maybe one to go in 2020.
I suspect that the 'alleged' issues he had with a local crime Lord and his 'protector' getting done in a gangland hit was the primary reason he went North of the border to start with.
You could also play around with that theory and apply it to Garath Bale who has family members up to their necks in bother making Spain far enough away and another reason why he has not been in any rush to return home.
Maybe.
