UPDATE: Austin's partner, Brad, confirmed the sad news, but then removed Austin's training page from Instagram almost immediately.

Friends have reported that Thom Austin (whose real name was Tom), who shot porn under the name Bo Dixon, has died. It appears he suffered a heart event, but there is no autopsy or confirmation. An earlier fan report that he had died in his sleep appears to have been mistaken.

He mostly worked in porn 2005-2008, but was a popular online presence for lovers of hairy muscle daddies.

His last posted video was from just over a week before his death, showing him working out and looking as big as ever, showing no signs of ill health.

RIP.
