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)
