Australian adult-content creator Koby Falks died on Wednesday, May 28, at the age of 42, his talent agent Matthew Leigh confirmed in an Instagram tribute shared on June 1. Known off-screen as Anthony Cox, Falks became a prominent figure in gay culture. Over the past three years, he has appeared in 76 productions and earned features across nightlife, kink events, and digital platforms.
Just days earlier, he posted a raw, unfiltered message about self-acceptance with his more than 127,000 followers. “Took me years to drop the act. Turns out, the scariest thing wasn’t being rejected — it was being seen,” Falks wrote. “No more masks. No more performance. Just me, as I am. Raw. Real. Free.”
For those curious about what caused Falks’ cause of death, here is everything we know.
Kolby Falks’ cause of death has not been revealed.
In a post on Falks’ Instagram, a representative for the adult film star revealed his tragic death. “Koby Falks passed away earlier this week. He was loved by many and will be missed,” the post read. Matthew Leigh, who represented Falks through his Melbourne-based PR firm, praised the entertainer as “a light, a creative force, and a genuinely beautiful soul.”
“From the moment we connected, I was struck by his warmth, his charisma, and his incredible professionalism,” Leigh explained. “He was organised, kind-hearted, and deeply respectful — the kind of person you instantly felt grateful to work with.”
No official cause of death has emerged. Falks’s representative simply stated, “Koby Falks passed away earlier this week,” and directed anyone affected to seek support from Lifeline. The abrupt announcement left fans and colleagues alike grappling for answers, with comments switched off on the original post. Falks’ partner, Sam Brownell, has not publicly spoken about the entertainer’s death.
