Unfortunately that seems to be the main cause of early deaths of young adult performers. David did a YouTube video several years ago discussing many of the boys who once worked for him that passed away at a very young age. And the most common cause of death was a drug overdose.
The video mentioned that Scott was from Ogden, Utah, which raises the possibility if not probability that he was raised as a Mormon. Several prominent gay porn models, Logan Cross comes to mind, went in that direction due to a repressive sexual upbringing especially in their adolescence. And if one thinks about it, the ultimate rebellion against a repressive Mormon sexual upbringing is obviously to have sex outside marriage, even worse to have gay sex, and the ultimate is to have gay sex as a bottom, which was exactly the career path of both Logan and Scott.
