LAS VEGAS, NV — (September 12, 2026) — Gay adult film performer and content creator Riccardo Staudt, known professionally as Noah Segsy, has died at just 22 years old after being found unconscious in a swimming pool in Cyprus.

Staudt was pulled from the pool of an apartment complex in Paralimni, Cyprus, on August 24, with emergency services reportedly alerted at approximately 9:20 p.m. The German creator was rushed by ambulance to Famagusta General Hospital, where doctors were unable to save him and pronounced him dead.

A subsequent postmortem established drowning as Staudt’s cause of death. But nearly three weeks later, exactly how the 22-year-old ended up in a life-threatening situation in the water remains unclear.

Questions Remain Over Noah Segsy’s Drowning

The circumstances have attracted additional attention because reports from Cyprus described the swimming pool as not particularly deep. Paralimni police have continued investigating the circumstances surrounding Staudt’s death.

Toxicology testing was also conducted following his death. However, as of publication, JRL CHARTS has found no reliable reporting establishing that alcohol, drugs or another substance contributed to the drowning.

That distinction is important. The postmortem has established how Staudt died, but publicly available information has not yet established what caused him to become incapacitated or otherwise unable to get out of the pool.

Riccardo Staudt Had Ties to Cyprus

Early reports characterized Staudt as a German tourist visiting Cyprus, but records reviewed by JRL CHARTS reveal a more substantial connection to the island.

A Cyprus corporate listing identifies Riccardo Staudt as director of STAUDTPH LTD, a private company registered on June 22, 2023. Its registered office is in Paralimni, the same Cyprus community where Staudt later died.

That does not explain the circumstances of his death, but it provides additional context beyond the initial description of Staudt simply as a tourist.

Professionally known as Noah Segsy, Staudt had developed a following as an adult-content performer and creator, particularly among gay audiences, with his online presence extending across subscription and social-media platforms.

Family Fundraiser Surpasses €20,000

Following his death, a fundraiser was established to assist Staudt’s family with the costs associated with transporting his body and funeral arrangements.

The campaign says it was organized by Jessica Bektas, a close friend of Staudt’s mother, Katharina Berk. The fundraiser identifies Staudt’s grandmother, Anita Gensmann, as beneficiary and states that the money will be administered for expenses connected with Riccardo’s death, including repatriation and funeral costs.

The campaign originally sought €14,000 but has raised €20,555 from 465 donations, substantially exceeding its goal. Donations are currently paused. No public explanation for that pause is provided on the campaign page: Riccardo Staudt family GoFundMe

Staudt’s death at only 22 has now left family, friends and followers mourning a young creator whose life ended under circumstances that investigators have yet to fully explain.

For now, the confirmed medical finding is drowning. The unanswered question is what happened in the moments leading up to it.
