Unknown To Me Terrance Dean Is Dead To Me

I am not familiar with him or his work and have only heard of him upon the announcement of his death.

The Columbus Dispatch:

[quote] Terrance Dean — a beloved Denison University professor, the Columbus Museum of Art's first Aminah Brenda Lynn Robinson Scholar-in-Residence, and editorial board member for The Columbus Dispatch — died this week at the age of 53.

[quote] Details are still unclear as to how or when exactly Dean died. Denison officials said Dean had recently felt unwell and briefly spent time at a local hospital. Columbus police performed a wellness check Thursday and found him dead at his Downtown home.

Wikipedia

[quote] [bold] Hiding in Hip Hop [/bold] begins with an account of Dean's traumatic childhood growing up impoverished to abusive, drug addicted parents and how these childhood experiences led him to the entertainment industry.

[quote] Dean then discusses how he got involved in a secret gay hip-hop subculture and his first parties. He gives graphic depictions of sexual acts between men he either participated in or witnessed, some allegedly involving well-known rappers or Hollywood celebrities. Throughout the book, Dean refers to himself and various individuals as being "down-low" or "down-low gay": men who have sex with men but do not consider themselves gay or are in the closet.[1]

Now that he has passed, DL, please tell me what you know and think of him.

First I'm hearing about him too, and I'm black.

" I don't know her"

Now she's DEAD, and I don't need to care!!

Did he commit suicide because he’s DL?

He wasn’t ugly. Surely he got all the prime tube steak he may have sought after.

Bumped off by paid agents representing a secret cabal of DL rappers?

Not enough celebs dying off for you OP?
