Adult film star Seth Peterson has died at the age of 28 after being found at his home in Los Angeles.
According to People, the news was confirmed on March 21 by Peterson’s partner, Kobe Marsh, who posted a message to the performer’s accounts announcing his death. Details remain limited, and no official cause of death has been released at this time. A GoFundMe page created in his memory also states that Peterson was found at home.
“It is with a heavy heart that I share the passing of my fiancé and best friend, Seth,” Marsh wrote. “I’m truly at a loss for words, and my heart is broken.”
He also thanked supporters for their “kindness and support” as messages began to pour in following the announcement.
Peterson, whose real name was Adam Aguirre, entered the adult entertainment industry in 2020 and quickly established himself as a versatile performer. Over the course of his career, he appeared in 24 films and 36 scenes, including work with studios such as NakedSword and Falcon Studios.
His performances helped him build a following within the gay adult film space and earn multiple award nominations.
A fundraiser launched in his memory described him as “deeply loved and will be profoundly missed,” noting that donations would go toward funeral expenses and support for those closest to him. “Any support during this difficult time is deeply appreciated,” the page reads.
Tributes from fellow performers have also surfaced online. Content creator Rocky Heron shared a personal reflection, writing, “We didn’t know each other deeply, but we shared a birthday, which we often spent at Burning Man… Every interaction I had with him was kind and genuine.”
He added, “He was someone with a big heart, a lot of passion, and a depth that not everyone understood.”
Peterson’s final Instagram post, shared roughly six months ago, showed him celebrating his birthday at Burning Man alongside his fiancé, captioned, “Had the best birthday with you.”
