It was reported on The Sword that Falcon exclusive gay porn star and popular webcam model Dave Slick passed away this weekend in Chicago.
Dave, an Arizona native, was staying in Rosemont for the Exxxotica Expo convention. Officials said he was reported missing at 2:29 p.m. Saturday.
“Dave had been last seen about 1 a.m. Friday in Chicago while out with a friend; the last time he had phone contact with someone was at about 8 a.m. Friday,” police said.
Dave was “found unconscious and not breathing about 11:35 a.m. Friday in a bathroom on the 100 block of West Jackson in Chicago,” police said.
He was taken to Rush University Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
This is a very sad news. He was a great person. My condolences to Dave’s friends and family.

Dave and I took newcomer,Austin, to a nice restaurant last month. He is one of the few people I would drop anything for. We chatted every day since we met. He loved my carefree crazy spirit and I loved his determination to succeed and his unselfish heart. Rip my friend! pic.twitter.com/wcWTq01h6j

Sad to hear the passing of colleague Dave slick. It’s a tough world out there, we all gotta stick together one way or the other. Drama or no drama we’re all connected to each other, and gotta remain open to listening when someone reaches out, or put ur foot down and say enough

I’m devastated to hear about @itsdaveslick I was able to get to know him, even stayed at his house. It’s heartbreaking to hear that he’s died so young. I hope he’s finally at peace.

Ollie says
Nooooooo!
No change will happen says
Not being negative but how can we all come together when this cycle that’s been happening in the adult industry where I see pornstars saying we should stand together as a family but after August Ames comminted suicide last year nothing had changed from that it went back to the same shit we see everyday nothing but drama and fighting and seeing billy santoro is just wanting to start more drama where we should be banning together helping others who are suffering with depression and mental health issues. Once I see something change with all the pornstars coming together but if they can’t do that with August Ames or Dave slicks there’s no hope with the adult industry it’s gonna be nothing but a toxic industry where everyone pretends they care and just bullies one another.
You should look into that says
You should look in to billy santoros tweets he’s going on attacking the straight adult industry accusing them of murdering Dave slicks and his tweets are just wrong and if Dave was truly a good friend of Billy’s Dave wouldn’t want that I mean so many pornstars have lost a Dave to but there not attacking others like billy is.
kurt says
Are they really mourning him when drugs are the unaddressed elephant in the room of the scene?
b says
Who says drugs are involved!!!!! Billy was upset last night he lost a friend. I would be upset as well. So let’s cut the crap!!!!!
Bruinsfan says
So you think healthy twentysomething guys just drop dead of natural causes in bathrooms after late-night partying at conventions? I suppose there are other possibilities, but common sense points to a drug OD.
Mike says
There a multiple sources telling me last night and today, god rest his soul, but Dave has been doing drugs for awhile now even before he got with his ex girlfriend Shawna. It wasn’t a hidden secret. It’s speculation but I’m sure drugs played a factor in this. I’m sure we will find out COD in coming days
