The TimTales site posted the following announcement:

It is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to share the news of the passing of our beloved Marcel, the man you all knew and loved as Tim Kruger. To the public, he was the ultimate ginger pornstar; to me, he was a sweet, caring partner of over 20 years. He was also my best friend. He touched the lives of everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

I am very aware of the stigma that surrounds deaths in the porn industry, so let me make this very clear to hopefully cut down on the inevitable speculation: Tim’s death was a tragic, yet simple accident at home. There were no drugs involved, nor was there any indication of foul play or suicide.
Though my heart is broken into pieces, I find solace in the countless memories he gifted us. And I know that he died knowing he was loved. Tim’s legacy of compassion, love, and joy will live on in all who knew him.

I am aware that you all will have countless questions, but this is all the information I have to share right now. I would love for everyone to respect his loved ones’ time to grieve in privacy. Thank you.

Rest peacefully, my love. There will never be another one like you.

As stated, not much is known about his death, although the statement claims there was no foul play, drugs, or suicide involved.. The statement was apparently made by Tim's partner Grobes Geraet. Tim founded TimTales with Geraet in 2009. Since then, it has become very popular and one of the better known brands in the gay adult industry. Tim started his career as an adult film star three years prior to founding TimTales.

Fans have already been leaving messages on social media, offering condolences and nice memories of Tim. Tim started learning about the business side of the adult industry while working in a porn store in Berlin. That inspired him to start appearing in films and then starting his own studio.

Besides being known for being well hung, it has been shared that Tim had a big personality and was an all-around great guy. In interviews, Tim said he found his models on dating sites and clubs and that he wanted to represent a wide variety of guys. Tim prided himself on TimTales being completely gay-owned and operated.

It is unclear what TimTales' future has in store, but we will share any updated information regarding his passing as we find out.

RIP Tim, you will be missed.
