Many, many people love porn. It's a multibillion dollar industry.

Few people are willing to die for it.

One unfortunate Chicaogan, however, will forever be remembered for his devotion to XXX.

On Tuesday, a man in his 40s was found dead of unknown causes in an adult theater in Old Town.

According to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office, the man was found unresponsive at the Over 21 Adult Bookstore, at 1347 N Wells St. The business features lingerie, sexual accessories, adult novelties, and DVDs, as well as a theater.

The man was pronounced dead at Northwestern Memorial Hospital just before 3 p.m., and an autopsy is scheduled for Wednesday.

Matt Bartosik, a Chicago native and a social media sovereign, has no hard feelings.
