Helix, the porn studio that specializes in twink performers, announced Thursday that popular star Alex Riley has died.
He was 22.
Helix offered no information on Riley's death, other than to say, in a blog post:
We are heartbroken over the loss of Alex Riley, one of the most vibrant and talented young performers we’ve ever had the privilege to work with. Please respect his family’s privacy during this devastatingly difficult time. We love you, rest in peace Alex.
Helix's Keith Miller said in a statement to Boy Culture:
Alex was so full of life and lived each day to its fullest. He always had a bright smile and laugh and his energy was nonstop. He will be greatly missed.
Riley had won Best Newcomer in 2020 at the GayVN Awards, and was one of the studio's biggest draws.
