Investigators: Montreal Dancers Fell to their Deaths
Police say that two American dancers whose bodies were found at the bottom of a quarry near Montreal likely fled a taxi without paying the fare, jumped over a fence, and fell 50 feet to their deaths. Signs warning trespassers of the quarry were in French. There were no signs of foul play.
Mark Kraynak and Steve Wright had been dancing in a club in Toronto and were visiting Montreal. A surveillance video shows the dancers running from the cab, although the driver of the cab has still not been located.

What a senseless waste of two lives to avoid paying cab fare. I feel sorry for the families and loved ones they left behind.. but HOLY DARWIN BATMAN!

An interesting quote from their agent: "At first, police said, 'Oh, they're in the adult entertainment industry, they were probably on drugs, partying,'...but these two were very straight, good souls, smart, educated and hard-working people."

How do you know they weren't partying? They were coked out of their skulls and needed to hold onto the cash they had to get more blow so they ditched paying the cab fare. They're dumb, uneducated Americans who barely made it through high school, so forget them even knowing a single word in a foreign tongue. They're with us down here in hell now. No big deal.

Ok..when I saw the blond guy's picture in this posting I instantly thought he looked farmiliar and I realized he looked exactly like this guy "Nick" from straightguysforgayeyes.com. He's in two of the videos, you can download a teaser clip and decide for yourself, but i think it's the same guy. If it is how tragic that such a spectacular specimen like him had to die.
click on "the men" link and check out "Nick"
i don't mean to advertise for a porn site on here but this really looks like the same guy. That's him at the top on the homepage banner.

I'm from Montreal, and I'd just like to point out that the French words for "Caution" and "Danger" are "Attention" and... "Danger". Just saying.

Is this one of the victims?

I'm with Francois. I've travelled around the world, and danger signs don't normally require a lot of foriegn language knowledge.
I guess Aruba isn't the only foriegn county who would rather sweep a case under the rug, than bring the murderers to justice. In some countries, American lives are apparently not worth the cost of an investigation.

I also live in Montréal. Even an uneducated-American-amateur-porn-star-cokehead would know that "Attention" and "Danger" means what it means, not matter your knowledge of French. It appears that those boys parents want to sue the city, the police, the parking lot owner etc. I guess that's the American way ! The worst part is that they will probably settle out of court, because we "Québecois" can sometimes be a bunch of colonized bastards !

Boys! Please! Have a little respect. Sheesh!
Kraynack earned a Purple Heart in Iraq. Forget politics for a minute, he voluntarily served and was injured. Don't call these men uneducated. They were both students at Penn State. Last I checked that still counted for education. So, they were crazy college kids who liked to earn a dollar or two by showing off their stuff, big deal. And, there is no evidence of coke use, thats just blog innuendo. And, they may have skipped out on a taxi fare. Not very nice, but nothing that gives anyone the right to condemn them and smear their names. Its just bad cricket.

What an absolute shame! Kraynack was gorgeous....his body and d**k were incredible. Check him out on SG4GE.com under "Nick".....what a waste!

Just to point out: all gay men who don't have kids are also following Darwin's game of elimination, even if they live to 100. Just saying...
