Also, I found what is POSSIBLY a death pic of him. Well, I know it's him, but I don't know if it's photoshopped from an earlier pic of him, or what...
I'm 99.9% certain that's a publicity photo from his film Asylum. In one scene he's, uhhm, let's say, "acting" with Leo Giamani in an actual morgue room, and according to one site, the entire film was shot at the Linda Vista Asylum Hospital in L.A. He and Leo "act" with each other on a gurney (sp?) and against various pieces of equipment in the morgue. I could see how this would now be circulating as a death-photo. I mean, how many other publicity photos of gay porn stars cover-up the entire lower half of the actor's body ? Google-image search "Erik Rhodes Asylum" unfiltered and you'll see some photos which back-up my opinion that this is a publicity photo from that film.
