Cliff Jensen recently shared this message about Roman Todd on Twitter:
Ricky Larkin gave @RomanToddNYC pain these pills ….
One of the pills killed @RomanToddNYC at LAX Lastnight!!!
He was Rushed to the ER from LAX diagnosis, fentanyl overdose and respiratory depression!!
His friend, P-Man, can confirm that Roman Todd is still alive. This story is still in developing and we need to wait to hear the story from Roman Todd himself.
[UPDATE] Roman Todd went on Twitter livestream to tell his near-death experience.

The Porn Emperor says
Oh lord. Why do we always have to have this kind of drama in gay porn? I guess it’s just in the DNA.
ALan says
Quite a few porn performers choose to go into porn because it’s their best option.
Mark says
The one time he took a pill. Go figure.
Di says
There are plenty of shoots where Roman looks stoned out of his mind so a massive surprise he took a pill.
Ken says
The one time he took a pill.
Girl, please
Jack says
Roman doesn’t mention what the pill was supposed to be. Multivitamin pill or so ?
seaguy says
Probably a Percocet or hydrocodone both of which when purchased illicitly are often adulterated with fentanyl.
pete says
So pleased he’s ok, no judgment from me, just happy he’s ok.
Kevin Jones says
Well here’s hoping Roman’s near death experience teaches him not to be so trusting and more cautious with his life.
Prince Caspian says
I’m going to be real sad if something bad happens to Roman. He’s one of my faves. Please take care of yourself king
Hazim says
This is fucking lame

I have always liked RT, and respected his performances…but this is idiotic. Fentanyl is designed for severe pain, and intended for cancer patients experiencing level 9 and above pain. It is also found in epidural injections. If this was recreational, then the man is too dumb to breathe. If this was for an injury, then how bad is it that you took one of *these*?

QMN, you are heavily censoring comments on this topic. As long as Roman Todd is not being personally attacked in comments, then you have no reason to censor, and you really need to stop.
baboso says
Whether or not he has done any other drugs in the past, Roman did not deserve this. It is clear that Larkin both didn’t care if he lived and potentially wanted him dead. Fentanyl is one of the worst drugs on the market and it kills more people than any other drug today. I hope he gets better soon. Many of you missed that he wanted pain killers of some sort and he blindly took them from Larkin. That does not mean that he deserved to be fatally poisoned.
RobF says
And you know this because CliffJensen said so? Instead of going to the police with this information, instead he went on Twitter? And Larkin didn’t validate giving the pills. The RomanTodd goes on Twitter and says please don’t take anything not prescribed by a doctor and no mention of Larkin either.
Joe says
If that’s the case, and someone nearly died as a result of a pill someone else gave him, then he should be pressing charges and the person who provided the pill should be arrested. Instead, we’ll all be treated to a gay twitter bitch slap fight, and nothing more will be done. And by next week, everyone involved will be partying together again.
Jack says
Glad he is ok. However, not buying “the one time I took a pill” storytelling. Just own that you messed up and stop the drugs! How man porn stars need to OD to realize drugs kill???!!!
Anon says
Do I suppose to be sorry for what happen to Roman? Everybody tell what kind of friend Ricky is yet you want to stay close with him… All this not going to be happen if he pick the right friend to hang out…
Gino says
“one time, i took a pill” why you taking a pill in the first place? i have a feeling, you knew what the pill for. Go figure!
David says
The one time Roman Todd took a bad pill turned out to be fentanyl; I just don’t buy their version of the story. The near death experience & Roman’s dearly dying is true; however, Roman doesn’t answer what pill he was taking. All of them are involved in drugs. What drugs? They leave this out of the whole equation on purpose. They don’t want to invite the police. That’s why.
