A well known adult film actor was found dead by his flatmate after reportedly shooting himself in the head.

Alexander Gustavo was found in the friends’ flat, reportedly having died by a self-inflicted gunshot.

He had been a porn actor for four years, after being discovered by a fellow performer in 2012.

Jaxton Wheeler, a fellow adult actor and flatmate, found the body at their Las vegas home after returning home from filming.

“I’ve never seen something like that in person before,” Wheeler said to Str8UpGayPorn.

“I’ve lost friends, but for it to be my best friend; he was like my brother.

“We really enjoyed working together…he looked out for me and I looked out for him.

“To know that he didn’t say one thing to me, didn’t reach out, [and] to find him with his girlfriend and her son following right behind me.

“It just keeps playing over and over in my head.”

Fans and friends paid tribute on Twitter.

Jaxton Wheeler has said memorial details will be shared on Twitter.
