I have substantial information that Janet Jaxxxson has passed away but no definite dates or cause. I had heard a few rumours over the past year but now believe the information to be correct.
Janet was a model mainly on Black-Tgirls from 1006-2010 but also made an appearance on Transexdomination.
I believe she was based in Las Vegas.
Gina, a popular model who’d featured on Shemale Yum 2005-2009, died in a fire 12th May 2012, under possible suspicious circumstances.
First photographed by Tony Vee, when he visited Puerto Rico to shoot in 2005, she was a new 18 year old model who became very popular. After visiting and then moving to NYC she worked on a number of other shoots.
Her body was found by firefighters in a four story building where she lived in NYC in the early hours of Saturday 12th May.

Gina was 25 when she died.
This was just brought to our attention. Samara, a model from Canada died in August 2011.
Samara appeared on Shemale Yum a number of times in 2005-2007 in shoots by Crag Rockheart. She was Lebanese-Canadian and well know in the Toronto scene. She died of a heart attack in her home last August.
“she loved and touched many other trans women’s lives here in Canada, she was a kind gentle person who was full of so much positivity and the loss of her has shocked and upset all of us who knew her.” – Jizelle
Samara was 34 when she died of natural causes in August 2011.

Once a year The Transgdender Day of Remembrance memorializes those transgenders who have been murdered.
The statistics speak for themselves, that there is a disproportionate amount of transgenders killed.
I urge all members of this site to take a look at http://www.transgenderdor.org/ and to see if there are any events in your city. More importantly, if you can educate and normalize transgenderism it may go someway to stop some of these murders happening.
We received word on Feb 18th that Cane Carrington had taken his own life, from both his friend and colleague, Remy and a number of models who were also very close to him.
Cane started as a camera assistant/general assistant with Remy on shoots that were mainly done for Black-Tgirls. His personality and humour put the models at ease and helped the shoots go smoothly. Many of the models became friends with him at this time. When Remy started shooting hardcore scenes for the website, he was looking for a male performer and it seemed a natural choice, for Cane to take. Good looking, in great shape, into the girls and easy to work with he excelled in a number of shoots (many which still have yet to be seen) including ones with Sasha, Unique, Luxury and Sheeba Starr. His scene with Brittany St.Jordan for Shemale Yum, in Dec ’10 was very well received and “smoking hot” as one member described it.
It came as a great shock to his friends when they heard the news and although many knew that he had troubles, none suspected it was as serious as he took them. Some of his friends left YouTube tributes to him:

“A few months later it was decided that I would be doing my first hardcore scene and that Cane would be the male talent working with me. The entire production was amazing and working with Cane their was a certain on-set chemistry that made the final product one of the most amazing scenes I could have ever hoped to a part of. I count myself as extremely fortunate to have had to opportunity to not only work with Cane but to have known him as the kindhearted easy going gentleman that made being on set a positive experience for everyone.
Every death is a tragedy but when it is someone as an all around great person such as Cane the loss is amplified with all of the hope and promise we saw in him. There is no way to express the amount of emptiness that will be left without Cane no longer in this world but instead of focusing on the sadness I would rather focus on remembering Cane being the happy smiling guy on set making everyone laugh and enjoy being around him. “ … Brittany St.Jordan 21.02.11
