Mmm… What if a world-renowned scientist died under such tragic circumstances? Would their inventions, patents and books be deleted? What if a famous chef died in such manner, would their cooking books and shows be deleted? But if that happens to an adult model, some believe the material must be deleted “out of respect”... Out of respect or out of shame, like adult legacy is sinful, hellbound (to the soul of the model and the viewers’) or shameful? Something to think about!
Some more thoughts… As
@8Cylinder said, maybe it’s to avoid legal repercussions, but still… Reasonably, nothing could tie the studios to such deaths unless it could be proven the owners of the studios were directly involved in harmful behaviour, mental abuse, providing illicit drugs, etc.
Adult actress Savannah died quite tragically, but her life work is still legally available for rental, streaming or purchase. Deleting it would be akin to erasing part of what she achieved on this Earth—great adult modelling and entertainment that millions enjoyed. I would not have deleted any scene at all, whether on Sean Cody (1,600 scenes!!!), Corbin Fisher or anywhere else.
As for murder, mentioned by
@takingitallinallofit, years ago, Ali Liam was charged with murder. (I do not know if he was convicted.) His scene is however still
available on Men.com. Some rappers and singers were accused or convicted of spousal abuse, aggravated violence, murder or rape, but their music is still available for streaming or purchase. One should keep in mind others also worked on such work of art. It’s a matter of choice to consume said material or not.
