MELBOURNE, Australia — Australian performer Koby Falks reportedly passed away on May 28, according to his publicist, Matthew Leigh of Mista PR.
Born in Cloncurry, Queensland, Australia, Falks spent three years in the adult industry, during which time he appeared in more than 75 scenes, some for RawFuckClub and others for his OnlyFans and JustForFans accounts.
Falks was "a fixture in queer nightlife and kink spaces," per Instinct Magazine, and he also hosted events for Australian establishments such as Sydney Sauna.
"Koby Falks, better known to his family and friends as Anthony Cox, passed away earlier this week," read a statement on Falks' Instagram account, where he had amassed a following of more than 126,000 followers. "He was loved by many and will be missed."
Falks was 39. This cause of death was not disclosed by Leigh, though the performer had been open about his struggles with mental health.
Leigh eulogized his client in a separate Instagram post.
"Though our time working together was brief, the impact Koby had was anything but small," Leigh wrote on Instagram. "From the moment we connected, I was struck by his warmth, his charisma, and his incredible professionalism. He was organized, kind-hearted, and deeply respectful — the kind of person you instantly felt grateful to work with.
"It was an honor to represent his remarkable body of work and to witness firsthand the power of his presence, both on and off screen. His ability to connect with people, not just here in Australia but across the world, was something truly special.
"Koby wasn’t just a client — he was a light, a creative force, and a genuinely beautiful soul. Never did I imagine I would be writing such a post, especially for someone I had the privilege of managing. And I sincerely hope I never have to again.
"To Koby’s family, his close friends, and his extended 'family' of fans and followers — my deepest condolences. We have lost a trailblazing, creative spirit far too soon. But I truly believe his light and legacy will continue shining brightly above."
Falks is survived by his partner, Sam Brownell, a fellow adult content creator who starred opposite Falks in the majority of his adult scenes.
"I will love you always," Brownell reportedly wrote in an Instagram story that is no longer available.
