Extraordinary Career
It is not known how Long contracted pneumonia. Not much details are available right now. However, insiders say that his death is a big loss for the adult film industry given his popularity as a porn star.
Long became a star in no time and was one of the most sought-after names in the porn film industry. Long, who was born in Toluca Lake, California on February 7, 1988, began his career in adult entertainment in 2016.
The adult star earned over 1,000 credits and many honors during his brief but successful career as a porn artist. He also won an AVN best supporting actor award in 2019 for his work in Adam & Eve Pictures' "The Seduction of Heidi."
In fact, Long always wanted to become a porn star. "I always knew that this is a good profession for me," he told AVN in 2017.
"I've owned two businesses in the past, and I just really didn't feel like doing that any more. Just wanted something in my normal everyday life, which is sex. And I felt like getting paid for it while I do it," he added.
In recent months, the pornography industry has been rocked by a spate of deaths. Angelina Please, who was discovered dead in her Las Vegas home on March 15, died of an accidental cocaine overdose, according to coroners.
