Gay adult film star Riccardo Staudt, also known by the stage name Noah Segsy, has died. He was 22.

The adult content creator’s death was unknown until a young tourist was pulled out of a swimming pool and later identified as Staudt, the Daily Star reports.

After mysteriously drowning in a shallow pool in an apartment complex in Paralimni, Cyprus, Staudt was pulled out, and emergency services were contacted around 9:20 p.m. on Aug. 24.

An ambulance rushed him to Famagusta Hospital, but emergency personnel were unable to save him, and he was pronounced dead by doctors.

A postmortem later ruled Staudt’s death the result of drowning. Toxicology reports were also conducted, but so far no reliable sources have reported whether alcohol, drugs or any other substances were found in his system.

Exactly what happened that led to the successful OnlyFans creator’s death is unclear, but the pool was reportedly “not particularly deep," according to Cypriot media.

The investigation into the circumstances of Staudt’s death by the Paralimni police is still ongoing.

At the time of his death, Stuart was on vacation in Cyprus, and a GoFundMe was started by his family to help pay for his repatriation to Germany and his funeral expenses. So far €20,555 (close to $24,000 U.S. dollars) has been raised.

"It is with a heavy heart that I am contacting you because my friend has suffered an unimaginable loss,” the GoFundMe reads, referencing Staudt’s mother, Katharina. “Her beloved son has passed away far too soon.”

The fundraiser continues: " Unfortunately, the family now faces high costs for transporting his body and for the funeral. This situation is an enormous burden for the family, not only emotionally but also financially."
