Breaking: Cole Ryder Dead

We don’t enjoy being the bearers of bad news (especially first thing in the morning), but we’ve just heard that beloved leather daddy and muscle bear Cole Ryder has succumbed to a staph infection. There aren’t many details yet, though for now you can pay a visit to his MySpace page (music enabled, so watch the speakers), which features the cryptic status update, “COLE RYDER has left the building. Thank you all for your love and support.” (gaypornblog.com)

    ADULT FILM STAR, COLE RYDER, DIES

    LONG BEACH, CA, JULY 30, 2008:

    Cole Ryder passed away of natural causes at his home in Long Beach,
    California, shortly past 8 am on Wednesday, July 30th, 2008, at the age of
    36. Cole passed peacefully in his sleep, surrounded by friends.

    Cole was signed as an exclusive to Rascal Video in 2006 starting the trend
    of more masculine, rugged studio exclusives. His career was short, but
    prolific. He appeared in nine films over the course of two years, with two
    films still in post production.

    Cole touched many people’s lives personally and professionally. He was
    always the first to greet anyone with a big smile and warm embrace. He
    listened and spoke with his heart.

    Cole was active and passionate about animals and HIV education, prevention
    and fundraising. In June, 2008, Cole was the Honorary Trail Guide for Saddle
    Up LA, a benefit fundraiser for The Life Group LA of which he was very proud
    to be a part.

    Cole would without a doubt appreciate a donation, large or small, to The
    Life Group LA (www.lifegroupla.org) with which he felt a close connection
    and affiliation. Funds donated in his name will launch a support program
    for emergency veterinary care for the pets of HIV+ men and woman.

    The coroner’s first impression is that the immediate cause of Cole’s death
    was congestive heart failure. Preliminary tissue studies showed Cole
    suffered from severe, hereditary, arteriosclerosis, a hardening of the blood
    vessels, which can lead to heart attack, stroke or aneurysm. Final autopsy
    results are pending.

    Family and friends wish to thank everyone for their sympathy and support.

    -End-
