Pornstar Roman Ragazzi Dies In Apparent Suicide

The gay porn world has been swept with the unfortunate news of ex-porn hunk Roman Ragazzi has died in an apparent suicide last Thursday. It's a sad end to what was a much respected career in porn, followed by a growing career as the owner of a personal training company. He was 38.

Ragazzi, a former trainer for the Israeli military, started his porn career in 2007, eventually becoming an exclusive with Raging Stallion Studios. His dark features, imposing physique, and extremely hairy body made him one of the most drool worthy men in the Raging Stallion stable. Ragazzi also made mainstream press back in 2007 when the slimy New York Post needlessly revealed his day job as an employee with the Israeli consulate, forcing him to resign.

After leaving porn in 2008, Ragazzi founded Freedom Fitness, which according to his boyfriend Sam, was growing rapidly. His boyfriend confirmed his death, and said it had mainly to do with issues of depression.

Rest in peace, Roman.
