Twenty-three-year-old, Natel King, stage name Taylor Sumers, made her final on-screen appearance in a porn film titled "Lesbian Lover. " After being stabbed to death last year, King's agent, Stephen Sirard, wants to donate proceeds made from the film's sales to Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children. Sirard said lawyers for his FCF agency in California had asked the hospital if they could highlight the promised gift on the cover of their video, using wording like "all proceeds from the sale of this video go to Sick Kid's Hospital in Toronto. " But hospital spokeswoman Carol Duncan said she has not heard anything about the issue, and she declined to say how the hospital might react to a donation of this kind. "We have to send the issue to the ethics committee and the board of directors for consideration," she said. King, described by Sirard as "a porn star with principles," says King raised money for the hospital before she was murdered. King was stabbed to death in February 2004 after a photography shoot near Philadelphia. The photographer has pleaded guilty to murder and could face 25 years in jail.
