I remember when this happened. I was into a lot of porn, read all the porn gossip sites, PE forums, forums that do obsessive size analysis, etc.
He did NOT die from a snake bite. Some whore made up that story and told Mike South (pornographer turned blogger who then sold his site and other people post under his name now) and other "industry sources" who were known for posting false rumors. Then his "friends" (there were 2 married performers who were his "best friends" plus that one other whore) ran with the story to protect his reputation, but he was known as a "partier" and did GHB and whatever. I'm sure he was on juice and HGH and whatever else, too. Near the end his body really got sloppy and developed a bloated gut, I also heard he and some other guys had to work nightclub security and odd jobs to get by. He may have really been bitten by a snake but that's not how he died.
Billy Glide cause of death - The Los Angeles County coroner confirmed that Glide died at his home in Orange on May 24, 2014, of accidental ethanol intoxication, with an enlarged heart and fatty liver as contributing factors.
I don't think there has ever been a big-dicked male pornstar who didn't end up dead or a complete mess by middle age. Most of them age out of the job and end up homeless or something. There's a site called the Rialto Report that covers the golden age of porn and all the guys they profile are broke and look like 20 years older than they are. There are some youtube interview channels like Holly Randall and TT Boy. I saw one with this dude Mike Stefano who had a pretty big dick and was everywhere fucking everyone and directing in the 2000s. He looks like my grandmother and talks like a 90 year old fag. He says he moved to SEA because that's the only place he can afford to get laid. peter North can't fuck anymore and is pimping out his wife to BBC. Paul Thomas is celibate. Ron Jeremy couldn't get laid consensually with his supposed 9 3/4" (probably more like 7.5) dick without paying. Steve Holmes admits in a Youtube Interview that when he's not performing he pays for escorts. Tom Byron (probably the most prolific straight male performer of the 80s and 90s) was sleeping on Rob Black's girlfriend's couch and begged for money so he could rent a car to drive for Uber. Richard Mann (big man on campus, Manaconda) is fucking BBW senior citizens for clips4sale. John Holmes of course died from AIDS and had to fuck men for money to pay for drugs. Brandon Iron who had a huge dick and worked consistently from the late 90s to not long ago committed suicide in Ireland after he resorted to doing $50 bukakke gigs and blow bangs. Guys like Sean michaels (pretty much the first consistent BBC star from the video age, he's long but thin and exagerrated, maybe 7.5 x5 tops, but that was considered huge in '90s porn) have to fuck trannies to get work. This dude Jordan Ash who was on every website from around 2005-2015 just died at 42, and he seemed like a good dude. Bill Bailey (AJ Applegate's BF) died at 38 last year after "falling off a balcony." Jack napier, who was billed as "The Biggest Dick in Porn" and did "There's Something About Jack" all those West Coast BBC movies with lex Steele and mandingo back in the day, got in some kind of accident awhile back and I doubt his dick works. So even the ones who don't become addicts with cancer and jump off bridges or whatever, are still unlucky. Sure, they fucked lots of women and got paid for it but the women were paid to fuck them and the men all end up broke.
