Rock Hudson’s Lover Dies

Marc Christian, lover of the late actor Rock Hudson, has died, reports Michael Musto in The Village Voice.

Following Hudson’s AIDS-related death in 1985, Christian sued Hudson’s estate on grounds of “intentional infliction of emotional distress.” Christian tested negative for HIV, but claimed Hudson continued having sex with him until February 1985, more than eight months after Hudson became aware that he had AIDS.

Musto’s source says the cause of Christian’s death was a drug overdose.
