Dave Slick Passes Away in Chicago

SAN FRANCISCO — Dave Slick, the Chaturbate broadcaster who later shot for Falcon Studios Group and its NakedSword division as an exclusive, passed away this weekend in Chicago, according to reports.

Slick, who was named 2017 XBIZ Best Male Cam Model, was found unconscious and not breathing in a Qdoba bathroom in Chicago’s Loop at 11:35 a.m. on Friday

The 26-year-old Slick, a Scottsdale, Ariz., resident, had flown to the Windy City to attend Exxxotica Chicago in suburban Rosemont, Ill.

Once found in the bathroom, according to reports, Slick was taken to nearby Rush University Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead less than 15 minutes later.

Rosemont Police, Chicago Police and the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office are investigating the death.

Slick, with his good looks and mischievous smile, towered in at 6’4” and had an athletic physique. He was a crowdpleaser with Chaturbate fans, along with fans checking him out in adult films.

An outpouring of grief and sympathy was made on social media last night after TheSword initially published the report of his death.

Studio owner and performer Trenton Ducati said: “I just heard the news about our dear friend @itsdaveslick my heart hurts and I feel very sad. My heart goes out to his family and all those close to him.” Ducati recorded a video, as well.

Performer Michael Roman said: “I am absolutely heartbroken right now! Dave, you are without a doubt one of the most generous, kind-hearted, and all around incredible people I have ever met! Wherever you are just know you are so loved by so many people and will be so greatly missed! I love you man!”

Falcon Studios director Toni Dimarco said: "It’s heartbreaking to hear the news of the passing of Dave Slick @itsdaveslick It’s really hard to process it all. He was a super sweet guy and kind soul. My deepest sympathy’s go out to all his friends and family. Gone too soon, you will be greatly missed."

On TheSword, NakedSword and Falcon Studios Group President Tim Valenti said: “He was earnest and ambitious. This is a tragic loss.”

Slick’s most recent production for NakedSword was “The Slutty Professor,” which released on Friday.

He attended most recently XBIZ Miami, and prior to that the Grabby Awards, which were held in Chicago.

According to the report on TheSword, Slick had been last seen about 1 a.m. Friday in Chicago while out with a friend; the last time he had phone contact with someone was at about 8 a.m. Friday. He was found unresponsive at 11:30 a.m. on Friday.
