Colton Ford: Popular Gay Porn Star Found Dead Aged 62 in Mysterious Hiking Trail Accident
Police found his body on Monday after friends reported him missing when he did not come back from a hike the previous day. While the exact cause of death is still unclear, a spokesperson for the Palm Springs Police Department told the Reporter that the local coroner has ruled out any signs of foul play.
Tragic and Mysterious Death
Lieutenant Mike Villegas, a spokesperson for the Palm Springs Police, said that there is currently no information available regarding the cause of death. "He was on a local hiking trail here in Palm Springs," Colton's friend Tim Wood wrote on Facebook.
"The police have not shared the details of their findings yet, so we don't really know what happened to cause his death. My heart is broken - it's almost too much to take.
"One of my best friends, a man who helped save my life many years ago. I miss you terribly. I can't stop the flood of tears."
Hailing from Pasadena, Ford was considered a silver fox success story, beginning his adult film career at 40 and continuing for 22 years, according to Out magazine.
Star in His Own Right
In his illustrious career, the porn star collaborated with multiple production companies, including MRS Releasing, RawF—kClub, All Worlds, Mustang, and Falcon Studios.
Before entering the adult film industry, Ford was a recording artist, and collaborated with Denise Rich's production company, MIDE Productions, as well as with Virgin Records.
Outside of adult films, Ford appeared in movies such as "Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild!," which featured RuPaul, and Hellbent, a thriller centered around a serial killer targeting a group of muscular men in West Hollywood.
His last project was a 2023 R&B and pop album titled "Permission".
Famous drag queen and adult film director Chi Chi LaRue paid tribute to Colton Ford in a post shared on Facebook. "I'm So Shocked and Saddened to Hear and Report the sudden passing of my friend and Icon Glen aka Colton Ford! You will missed! Keep Singing In Heaven!" LaRue wrote under his real name, Larry David Paciotti.

Love-struck trucks and diggers: Estonia's take on 'Romeo and Juliet'
Heavy machinery are seen Shakespeare's \"Romeo and Juliet\" theatre adaptation, where heavy goods vehicles and cars take on the roles of the famous characters, in Rummu, Estonia, July 31, 2025. REUTERS/Janis Laizans RUMMU, Estonia - A production of "Romeo and Juliet" in Estonia uses a cast of vehicles to tell Shakespeare's story of star-crossed lovers, with a red Ford pickup taking on the role of Juliet, while her Romeo is a rally truck. 'I must say I came into it expecting it to be really silly, but it was really good. I really liked it," said Maia Maisate, a spectator, after the show. A disused limestone quarry in the Estonian countryside is the backdrop as more than a dozen vehicles, including city buses, fire engines, a lorry and a cement truck with hearts painted on it, drive around in front of makeshift viewer stands. Two excavators waved their mechanical arms at each other threateningly in a recreation of the fatal sword fight between Tybalt and Mercutio, and a car was thrown from a cliff. 'I would still say that even though it was cars, it felt really sweet and cute. Like when you had the scene where the cars were, you would assume, kissing, the energy was captured really well. The sweetness and the love," said Maia Pussim, another spectator. The production, which continues until Sunday, is without dialogue, although it is accompanied by fireworks and music, including the track "Lovefool" by Swedish group The Cardigans. "It's basically a big experiment about what it means to do Shakespeare today and whether we can find new ways to do it," said co-director Paavo Piik of Kinoteater, which put on the play.
