was causing to their marriage. Butler and Loring divorced in 1992. Butler released an autobiography in 1989, as told to Robert Rimmer and Catherine Tavel, called Raw Talent. The book gave an insider's account of the porn industry. He was forthcoming in the book, giving very intimate details of some of his co-workers in the business, and citing the existence of widespread drug abuse in the industry. Butler re-surfaced in 2003 in a non-sex role in a porn film titled Sexy Sluts: Been There, Done That, released that year, which was directed by underground rapper Necro. Butler was also a featured guest on Necro's album The Sexorcist (2005). Death Butler was diagnosed with a tumor which was removed in an operation, but a subsequent check-up following a cycling accident revealed the cancer had spread throughout his body and was inoperable. He died in Brooklyn, New York, aged 58, on January 27, 2018.
