The handsome 6-2, 200-pound Frenchman was thirty---- ... forty---- ... well, it depends who you ask. Age sounds like it could have been a factor in his decision. His website biography sounds a lot like Bob Bergeron, who met a similar fate:
The way the world goes around comes down to one concept: vanity. A “porn star” only happens to live and expose it in public. It hits each and everyone of us, even the ones who pretend to be humble, or for example even the ones that pretend they only work out for their health. We all want to look good, to be noticed. Even this shy french boy named Wilfried born now 28….ok, fine, 38 years ago. I was truly ordinary, probably still am in my own way. I took the right assumed path that made my parents proud: excelled and achieved at school, did learn to be good to another, but thankfully escaped the religious BS that sometimes comes with such a respectable upbringing, meaning: I was not bred to be a hypocrite. Something always had been burning inside of me: I always knew there was more to life than just fitting in. And yes, that vanity that grows within the male puberty became a driving force, pushed out, of course, by this demon that always underlies: insecurity. Thriving to be rightful slowed me down, then after a bad relationship and a nasty brush with cancer, I realized there was only one life ahead of me. Why wait? I loved sex, I loved men, so if I had to be promiscuous, why not be paid for it??! And here I am, almost 10 years, several awards down the line, I am still going strong and loving every minute of it. A very lucky man, I have worked with all the best performers and companies, and i do not see myself as finished just yet. It is only my fourth retirement tour, I have few more to go don’t it? And when it is all over, well, two degrees I completed during my career will prevent me from a painful fall back down to reality. Ha, if only looks did not fade! Welcome to my twisted world!Tragic -- and pathetic. (There's more to life than being good-looking ... or so I've heard.) These gay-porn suicides are starting to add up.
UPDATE: Knight's death comes just weeks after his partner, Jerry Enriquez, also committed suicide. Their doomed binational relationship was apparently also a source of despair.
