Right now, the cause of death hasn’t been confirmed. That said, the unconfirmed story is that Casey Jacks committed suicide. It seems adult performer Boomer Banks believes this to be true as he took a stance against the industry because of it.
“This is so unacceptable I’M SO FURIOUS,” he said. “How do we continue to allow our peers/colleagues to feel so alone that they need to end their own lives.”
“Stop being CUNTS we don’t have to like everyone but the LOVE AND RESPECT NEEDS TO TAKE PRIORITY.”
