TimTales just shared this sad sad news on X/Twitter. Gay porn star Tim Kruger has passed away.
I am very aware of the stigma that surrounds deaths in the porn industry, so let me make this very clear to hopefully cut down on the inevitable speculation: Tim’s death was a tragic, yet simple accident at home. There were no drugs involved, nor was there any indication of foul play or suicide.
It’s his partner who shared the sad news. My condolences to his family and friends.
It is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to share the news of the passing of our beloved Marcel, the man you all knew and loved as Tim Kruger. To the public, he was the ultimate ginger pornstar; to me, he was a sweet, caring partner of over 20 years. He was also my best friend. He touched the lives of everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
I am very aware of the stigma that surrounds deaths in the porn industry, so let me make this very clear to hopefully cut down on the inevitable speculation: Tim’s death was a tragic, yet simple accident at home. There were no drugs involved, nor was there any indication of foul play or suicide. Though my heart is broken into pieces, I find solace in the countless memories he gifted us. And I know that he died knowing he was loved. Tim’s legacy of compassion, love, and joy will live on in all who knew him.
I am aware that you all will have countless questions, but this is all the information I have to share right now. I would love for everyone to respect his loved ones’ time to grieve in privacy. Thank you.
Rest peacefully, my love. There will never be another one like you.

I’m heartbroken to hear about this. For me, he was indeed the best. I don’t even know how to express the impact he had in my life even if I didn’t knew him in person. So hard to believe he’s gone and I won’t ever be able to meet him. I hope the closest ones find comfort during this time.
RIP, my king

Very sad to hear this. Met him years back and he was a very soft spoken, humble guy. He was a handsome and talented performer and director. Great loss to the porn industry. RIP Tim…

I started watching your films when still in the closet. You looked so kind to others. Rest in peace Marcel. Love.
Paul says
Only 44. Gone too soon. RIP.
Nick says
OMG so sad, an iconic dick and his work as producer gave us one of the best studio in the industry where the hottest guys went to get fucked. RIP
Jack says
Wow, RIP Tim/Marcel. He was so young too. Devastating news
Had no idea Roman Mercury had died until reading the comments too… Also horrible news. And I want to add another porn star that I loved that died several months ago: D. Dan (he made scenes for Kristen Bjorn and some other sites). What is going on, why are these 3 hot and young gay porn stars all dead within several months???

My dream/fantasy was to see Tim Kruger & Legrand Wolf working together like a crossover (sigh) Descanse en Paz.
David says
Tim Kruger’s partner or husband needs to be more specific about his death. So it’s not an overdose or suicide, but an accident. What kind of accident? His vagueness doesn’t help. Death at 44 raises questions.
Prince Caspian says
Oh Tim Kruger, you may not know me but I am deeply saddened by this news. I am a fan of your site and I even watch the BTS videos you put out there. I admire the passion that you pour in your work. You will never be forgotten. #Legend #RIP

Tim was around since I was a teenager. Of course everyone passes in the end but we all expect to live to a dignified old age while life really is but a fleeting privilege. Wherever you are now hope you are surrounded by peace and love. RIP.
