News of Peterson’s passing comes courtesy of his boyfriend, adult film star Kobe Marsh, who performs as Cyrus Stark on OnlyFans.
“It is with a heavy heart that I share the passing of my Fiance and best friend Seth. I’m truly at a loss for words, and my heart is broken,” Marsh wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
“For those who would like to support during this incredibly difficult time, you can do so using the link below,” he continued, adding:
“Thank you for your kindness and support.”
The GoFundMe page did not indicate a cause of death, but it did reveal that Peterson’s passing was unexpected.
“Seth was found in our home earlier today. He was deeply loved and will be profoundly missed,” Marsh wrote, adding:
“These funds will go toward covering his funeral expenses, and any support during this difficult time is deeply appreciated.”
Other adult film stars, including Kyle Heron, offered moving tributes to Peterson on social media.
“We didn’t know each other deeply, but we shared a birthday, which we often spent at Burning Man (with the same tattoos to prove it!), and bonded over our shared love of ball pythons,” Heron wrote (per The New York Post).
“Every interaction I had with him was kind and genuine. I always felt a soft spot for him and saw him as a brother spirit walking a similar path,” he continued, adding:
“I know life wasn’t always easy for him, and because I saw parts of my own journey reflected in his, I always tried to reach out when I saw him struggling.

“He was someone with a big heart, a lot of passion, and a depth that not everyone understood.”
Many have taken Heron’s remarks as an indication that Peterson either accidentally overdosed or died by suicide, but his cause of death remains unknown at this time.
The New England Patriots used free agency a year ago to jump-start a foundation built around ascending quarterback Drake Maye and veteran head coach Mike Vrabel. They proved to be talented (and fortunate) enough to advance to the Super Bowl in their first year together. A few struggling teams from last season appear to be in a good spot to potentially follow that path to success in 2026. A handful of teams strategically spent in free agency, adding players who can raise their floor and ceiling for next season. Those teams will now have to be smart with their selections in the upcoming draft as they seek to cobble a good enough roster to quickly turn their fortunes around after underwhelming seasons in 2025. So, let’s take a closer look at five teams with the best chances to go from being left out of the playoffs last year to reaching the tournament in 2026. [2026 NFL Free Agency: Where All 32 NFL Teams Stand After the First Wave] 5. New York Giants New York secured the biggest name in the head coaching cycle by hiring Super Bowl champion John Harbaugh to a $100 million deal to run their team. Harbaugh already had key pieces in place to build around in second-year quarterback Jaxson Dart, receiver Malik Nabers, running backs Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy Jr., along with standout left tackle Andrew Thomas. Grabbing Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love at No. 5 in this year’s draft would add an explosive touchdown maker to this offense. The Giants improved that young roster with key additions in free agency from Harbaugh’s time in Baltimore in tight end Isaiah Likely and fullback Patrick Ricard, which signals a shift to more big-boy football and two tight end sets in New York. The Giants also brought in two playmaking receivers with similar skill sets in Darnell Mooney and Calvin Austin III, a run-and-chase linebacker in Tremaine Edmunds and a cornerback looking to reset his career in Greg Newsome. Harbaugh also added former Ravens punter Jordan Stout and former Miami Dolphins All-Pro kicker Jason Sanders to upgrade special teams. But overall, it will be up to Harbaugh to work his magic and develop the Giants into a championship organization again after New York won a combined seven games the last two years. Harbaugh is up to the task. 4. Baltimore Ravens The team that fired Harbaugh is also looking to rebound. The Ravens lured defensive guru Jesse Minter away from the Los Angeles Chargers to infuse the organization with new energy. Yes, the Ravens created some bad vibes around the league by backing out of a blockbuster trade for Las Vegas Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby. But Baltimore quickly grabbed a reasonable alternative in signing top free agent pass rusher Trey Hendrickson and holding onto the team’s two first-round picks. The Ravens lost 11 players to other teams in the opening days of free agency, as general manager Eric DeCosta looks to replenish his roster by adding some pieces on cost-effective deals in the second wave of free agency. However, the Ravens improved the offensive line with the additions of interior offensive linemen John Simpson and Jovaughn Gwyn. Joining Hendrickson on the defensive side of the ball in free agency is playmaking safety Jaylinn Hawkins. And for a team that focuses on drafting and developing players, the Ravens have 11 selections in this year’s draft, giving Minter the ability to add young prospects who can help the Ravens for the upcoming season on both sides of the ball. The Ravens also must get a new deal done for two-time NFL MVP Lamar Jackson. Continuing to build around the 29-year-old franchise quarterback remains the top priority for DeCosta and Minter as Baltimore chases another Lombardi trophy. The Ravens made the playoffs in six of the last eight seasons and should return to their winning ways this year. [2026 NFL Offseason: The Biggest Need For Every AFC Team After Early Free Agency] 3. Dallas Cowboys Brian Shottenheimer was better than expected in his first year as head coach. The Cowboys’ trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers for receiver George Pickens proved a successful transaction; they held onto the dynamic receiver by applying the franchise tag to the Georgia product, allowing more time to negotiate a long-term deal. Running back Javonte Williams returned in free agency. Led by quarterback Dak Prescott, the Cowboys had one of the top offenses in the league last year, averaging 28 points a game. The task for owner Jerry Jones this offseason was to improve a leaky defense, so the Cowboys can compete for a postseason berth. Dallas started that process by moving on from defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus and replacing him with Philadelphia Eagles defensive passing game coordinator Chris Parker. Dallas brought in another pass rusher by trading with the Green Bay Packers for Rashan Gary. The Cowboys also added two versatile players to the defensive backfield from the NFC West in Arizona Cardinals free agent safety Jalen Thompson and former Los Angeles Rams slot defender Cobie Durant. And Dallas brought some juice to the defensive line with the addition of defensive tackle ex-Los Angeles Charger Otito Ogbonnia, along with the additions of linebacker Tyrus Wheat and safety P.J. Locke. And with the trade of Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers last year, the Cowboys have two first-round picks and eight total in this year’s draft, including four in the top 112. That should be enough to add a handful of contributors to a team that should compete for a playoff spot in the NFC East. [2026 NFL Offseason: The Biggest Need for Every NFC Team After Early Free Agency] 2. Kansas City Chiefs The headliner for the Chiefs this offseason was signing Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III to a three-year, $43 million contract in free agency. Much like the addition of Sanquan Barkley and Derrick Henry for the Philadelphia Eagles and Baltimore Ravens in free agency two years ago, Walker should serve to improve a lackluster running game and take some pressure off Patrick Mahomes as he returns from a season-ending knee injury. Yes, Kansas City must replenish talent lost in the secondary, with slot defender Trent McDuffie traded to the Rams, cornerback Jaylen Watson joining McDuffie in Los Angeles in free agency and safety Bryan Cook signing with the Cincinnati Bengals. The addition of Alohi Gilman from the Baltimore Ravens in free agency should help as the former Charger returns to the AFC West. The Chiefs also added defensive tackle Khyiris Tonga in free agency. Along with that, the Chiefs have two first-round picks in this year’s draft and nine overall. Veteran defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo has done a nice job of developing young talent in the back end defensively. Travis Kelce returns for another season, and the Chiefs executed a trade with the New York Jets for quarterback Justin Fields as insurance for Mahomes, who is expected to be ready for the start of the regular season. Head coach Andy Reid also brought back longtime offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, who should help get the most out of Walker. Bottom line, the Chiefs are a franchise that knows what it takes to build a Super Bowl contender, and if Mahomes returns healthy, Kansas City is set up to chase another Lombardi trophy. 1. Minnesota Vikings Speaking of chasing Super Bowls, the Vikings are in a prime position in the NFC North with the addition of Kyler Murray. The Vikings have one of the most talented offenses in the league, headlined by star wide receiver Justin Jefferson. Wide receiver Jordan Addison, tight end T.J. Hockenson and running back Aaron Jones all return as well, with the last of those names agreeing to a last-minute contract restructure to keep him in Minnesota. If Minnesota receives just competent quarterback play with Murray, they should compete for an NFC North division title. Even with the up-and-down play of injury-prone quarterback J.J. McCarthy, the Vikings won nine games. Defensive coordinator Brian Flores returns, which means Minnesota should have an elite defense again this year. Murray has never played on a team with a top-10-ranked defense in his pro career. The Vikings didn’t do much in free agency because of salary cap restraints, retaining linebacker Eric Wilson and special teams standout Tavierre Thomas, along with signing former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback James Pierre. However, the Vikings already had one of the best rosters in the NFC and won 14 games with Sam Darnold as the team’s quarterback two years ago. The addition of Murray, the No. 1 overall selection in the 2019 draft, provides someone as talented as Darnold, looking to make a similar transformation as the USC product. Along with that, the Vikings have nine selections in this year’s draft, including the No. 14 overall pick, giving them enough moves to improve an already talented roster.Latest Sports News from FOX Sports

The state of Alaska is looking for someone to take the Matanuska, one of the first three ships built as part of the Alaska Marine Highway System after statehood.
In a public notice published Friday afternoon, the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities said it is now looking for “interested parties regarding the opportunities to dispose of the vessel in a manner that honors its historic significance while allowing it to continue serving Alaska in new innovative ways.”
DOT is primarily looking for people or groups interested in operating the Matanuska “as a museum vessel, maritime training ship, tourism or hospitality venue, community facility, research platform, heritage site, or other maritime or public-serving use,” according to a detailed document accompanying the public notice.
Any applicant would have to demonstrate that they have the financial resources necessary to take care of the ship.
Retired ferries are notoriously expensive to operate, and idealistic plans for other ships have repeatedly fallen apart. The former Washington state ferry Kalakala was turned into a cannery in Kodiak, recovered and towed back to Washington, but fell derelict and almost sank into a canal before being scrapped in 2015.
Built in 1963, the Matanuska served as an active ferry for almost 60 years and still has a gold-painted funnel indicating its status as the “Queen of the Fleet,” the oldest operating ship in state service.
Despite that honor, the Matanuska has been out of regular service for at least three years, and has been laid up in Ketchikan for use as a “hotel ship” by the ferry system. Last year, DOT officials said the ferry system lacked the money needed to return the ship to service, and they recommended fully retiring it.
Proposals for the Matanuska’s future are due to DOT by 2 p.m. April 14.
“Letters of interest proposing scrapping, dismantling, or scuttling the vessel may be submitted for informational purposes,” the agency said, but for the time being, it’s looking at ideas to reuse the ship.
Tuesday morning press briefing with City Officials and the Army Corp of Engineers.
NOTN- Juneau is hosting the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers this week as the community presses for answers on long-term protections against glacial lake outburst flooding.
Mayor Beth Weldon said the Corps arrived in Juneau Monday afternoon, taking a helicopter tour to inspect the basin area and visiting the city’s HESCO barrier installations before holding formal meetings today.
At a Committee of the Whole meeting in February, City and Borough of Juneau leaders detailed new modeling that shows a worst-case glacial lake outburst flood could send an estimated 118,000 cubic feet per second of water down the Mendenhall River, far beyond anything the city has experienced.
Maps presented at the meeting showed that a maximum event could push water beyond the Central valley, crossing Riverside Drive and Mendenhall Loop Road, affecting neighborhoods on both sides of the river.
Scientists from the University of Alaska Southeast, the National Weather Service, the U.S. Forest Service, and Tribal representatives from Tlingit and Haida identified a “lake tap” of Suicide Basin as the preferred enduring solution.
During a press conference this morning, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers leaders outlined plans to expand and reinforce temporary flood barriers along the Mendenhall River while continuing to study more permanent solutions to GLOFs.
“We’re here today because we wanted to make sure that we are in tight, close communication with the local government here, ahead of the 2026 glacial outburst flood that we expect.” Said Assistant Secretary of the Army Office for Civil Works, “This is something that when I was a nominee for this position and going through Senate confirmation, Senator Sullivan called me into his office, and he very effectively impressed upon me the criticality of this issue to this community. Every time I’ve spoken about this publicly, including in a public hearing in September, and most recently in a public hearing last month, I’ve said we have to look at this short term, medium term and long term. And I’ve consistently conveyed that from the very first time I’ve ever spoken about this issue until now, short term, medium and long term. And we’ve had an outstanding discussion this morning with our Senate offices, local community leaders, and then all four levels of our Corps of Engineers organization to make sure that we’re all on the same page in terms of what we’re doing to address this challenge. And so we’ll get into some of that as the questions come but that’s really the reason we’re here.”
Officials said immediate work for 2026 includes raising existing HESCO barriers by 1 to 2 feet and extending the system by roughly 4 to 4.5 miles along both sides of the river, officials also the Corp is adding more armoring along the riverbanks and deploying pumps and technical experts to manage any water that gets behind the barriers.
Telle also mentioned a ‘Medium’ term solution, and here is what he said when asked the clarify.
“In the medium term, we’re looking at more permanent and more survivable barriers that can be implemented, as well as continuing to look at potential channel modifications. Those are all on the turn on the table for the short, medium term, we’re obviously continuing to look at long term options that will require significant technical analysis and engineering. We’re getting down that path every single day.” He said, “In my view, we can’t wait a decade to deliver, or six years, or 15 years, we can’t wait that long to deliver results for the citizens in this community, and so we’re tackling short medium with the same aggression that we’re tackling long.”
Those potential channel modifications could look like dredging or reshaping.
“There’s been conversation within the community for years about straightening the channel. This can be done relatively quickly and for low cost. The question is, does that straightening actually just move the risk to a different part of the community? And so we want to be very careful about that. We’ve got extensive modeling underway right now.” Telle said.
The long-term solution remains under study.
“This is, I’ll just say, glacial outburst flooding is a unique challenge here in Juneau. This phenomenon that we have here is unique to the Corps of Engineers entire portfolio. I think with that uniqueness comes a lot of uncertainty from an engineering and technical perspective, and we’re trying to really reduce that uncertainty as fast as we can.” Telle said.
Telle said that among the “big universe of options” for a long-term solution, a tunnel or lake tap “at this moment appears to be the most viable technically” Still, he emphasized that no option has been taken off the table and that significant technical and cost uncertainties remain.
When asked by The Juneau Independent’s Mark Sabbatini what had changed since last month’s announcement suggesting the Army Corps had “pulled back” from the lake tap solution, officials said their position had remained consistent, saying “nothing has changed other than the reporting.”
“That’s one of the reasons we appreciate the Secretary and the Generals and the Colonel for coming here face to face.” Said Mayor Beth Weldon, “There’s not going to be a miscommunication problem at all. We appreciate their enthusiasm and dedication to a short, medium and long term solution.”
“You know, the HESCO barriers are exactly what needed to happen. They showed they were, but they also showed they were just a triage method.” Said President Richard J. Peterson of Tlingit and Haida, “We’re trying to make sure we come together. We had a charrette last year, we came together all unanimously on an enduring solution, but in the meantime, they have to do their job and look at all solutions. And I think that might have been where the miscommunication came in. It wasn’t pivoting away from this, but the messaging was, ‘we’re doing our due diligence to look at everything’. We have to turn to them. And this meeting was that opportunity for us to understand where we’re at.”
Authorities say they are mindful of the clock the community is under, and said coordination between federal agencies, the City and Borough of Juneau and tribal partners will continue as preparations accelerate in the months ahead.
And for those wondering, despite our recent poor weather, work on flood-protection infrastructure has continued.
Brotherhood Bridge has officially closed starting today for installation of Phase 2 HESCO barriers.

And as usual, this year’s installment will feature some surprise cameos from celebrities who don’t typically work as beachwear models.
One such guest star is reality icon Bethenny Frankel, who is making her Sports Illustrated debut at the age of 55.

Frankel shared photos from the shoot on social media, where she looked radiant in swimwear on a sun-drenched beach backdrop.
Alongside the images, she wrote simply:
“Never too late to jump.”
Her caption quickly racked up likes and supportive comments from followers, many of whom applauded her confidence and celebrated her “powerful” and “inspiring” energy.

But now, she’s making history by modeling for the magazine.
Frankel’s journey to this moment has been years in the making — from making a name for herself as onr of Bravo’s biggest stars to rebranding as a margarita mogul.
Stepping into the SI spotlight is a move she probably wouldn’t have predicted, but it’s also one she seems genuinely proud of.
Frankel’s appearance isn’t just a magazine feature — it’s a statement about confidence, age, and visibility in spaces that have historically skewed younger.
For many supporters, seeing her celebrated in this way is more than just a photo op, it’s a reminder that self-esteem doesn’t come with an expiration date.
Bethenny’s hot takes might make her a controversial figure on social media. But we think everyone can agree that her physique and her confidence are both worthy of admiration.
