Czech adult film star Denis Reed died unexpectedly in a motorcycle accident on May 6th, 2016. He reportedly skidding into a tree after losing control of the vehicle during a sharp right turn.
The injuries were severe, and the 31-year-old passed in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.
Denis Reed began his career in porn in 2004 at the age of 19, becoming one of the most well-known performers across Eastern Europe.
Among other sites, he appeared in scenes with CzechBoys, Willam Higgins and Staxus. He was also one of the people behind Czech Hunter, which we won’t tell you much about here.
Friends in the industry took to social media to offer their condolences to Reed’s family:

Ummm…Well, at least it wasn’t drugs this time.

He was so cute, It is such a shame to die in this way. Motorcycles are too dangerous. You should drive them only in faraway deserted rural roads and at small speeds.

I am sad for his family and hope they grieve well.

Another one of our fallen heroes, eh?

Ignoring the expected disrespectful snark from those who probably regularly fap to gay porn, I just want to say that this makes me very sad. I always liked him. Poor kid. 🙁

@DarkZephyr: Why don’t we have a regular Obituary on Queerty then. Gay men die all the time. Oh that’s right. Unless they’re cute and have done porn it doesn’t count. Kind of like the tree falling in the forest say’n. No one hears about that either.
This wasn’t even an accident with another vehicle. This was.. lets just see how fast I can get my baby and watch me take that corner. Not much common sense. At least the he didn’t hurt someone else.
At least he died doing what he loved. So there. I said something nice.

@Stache: Porn stars are some of the most visibly gay celebrities we have in the LGBT community. If you want to have a discussion about celebrity culture, we can, but there’s power in Queerty covering people like Dennis Reed’s death because it pushes against a culture of silence around LGBTs in mainstream media.

Big fan of his so a big shock. Sudden makes it worse. James Dean syndrome with speed maybe. Pity anyway.

I was watching a short clip of a scene with the model Chad Driver and a guy with jet black hair. I could be wrong but, that model with jet black hair sure looked like Denis Reed, meaning that Denis was not a blond. Also,
There is a different “dynamic” at work with performers who do adult work in the Czech Republic (and Europe in general, to an extent) in that most of these performers do not identify as gay.

@Stache: What are you talking about? There are columns fairly regularly on here about people who have influenced gay culture in some way — and few of them were porn actors.

@MarionPaige: I don’t know what his natural hair colour was but it most movies he had blond hair but in some it was black.

Advice no one should follow if they can help it.

@john.k: @MarionPaige: well, the carpets matched the drapes so I’d guess he was a natural blonde.
R.I.P. Mr Reid, you were great at your job and literally a pleasure to watch.

Certainly one of the most prolific porn models. He always seemed to be enjoying his work. I would like to have read an interview with him.

The photo in this article showing him with a green t shirt on displays his natural dark blond hair. He played around with colors probably to make his many many appearances in porn seem less redundant.

@MarionPaige: he was blonde. period. end of story.

@tricky ricky: Ummmmm, Is that SUPPOSED to be funny??

Hate to say, and I hope I’m totally wrong, but chances are that he, like SO many millions & millions of other “hot shots” his age on their infuriatingly LOUD and dangerous crotch-rockets all over the planet, thought that he was a SERIOUS bad-ass on his ego bike and was showing off. They’re ALL over the place here in southeastern Michigan and they terrorize the shit out of drivers on the freeway mostly. If that was the case, then he’s the latest recipient of I heard of who’s earned himself a Darwin Award. A real shame but again, if that was the case then it’s honestly pretty hard to feel sorry for him.
