The star of a Perfume Genius music video, Arpad Miklos has been found dead of an apparent suicide.
The gay porn actor, aged 45, was discovered unresponsive at his New York apartment on Sunday (3 February).
New York writer Randal Lynch confirmed on LGBT YouTube channel Gwist that a suicide note was found with his body.
Lynch says of Miklos:
“There was a lot more to him than just that surface persona. He was a very active person in the gay community.”
Miklos starred in Perfume Genius’ ‘Hood’ video, which was initially banned by Youtube for ”promoting mature sexual themes”.
You can watch that clip below. Our thoughts are with Miklos’ friends and family at this time.
