Overview
- TMZ published 911 audio in which a caller identified as Keely says she found the Limp Bizkit bassist face down in a blood-stained bathroom at his Florida home and attempted CPR.
- Responding St. Johns County deputies also performed CPR before fire rescue arrived and pronounced the 48-year-old musician dead at the scene.
- An incident report notes a cut above Rivers’ eye and a small amount of coagulated blood in the bathroom, with the injury described as possibly resulting from a fall from the toilet.
- A deputy observed Rivers’ face and neck were dark blue while the rest of his body was flushed, a pattern the report says is commonly seen in pulmonary embolism cases, though no cause of death has been determined.
- Keely told deputies Rivers had a 2018 liver transplant and was on related medications, and as of Thursday the band’s Central and South American tour dates from Nov. 29 to Dec. 20 remained listed as scheduled.
