911 Call and Police Reports Detail Limp Bizkit Bassist Sam Rivers' Death Scene

New police records alongside a 911 recording add key scene details with the official cause still awaiting autopsy.

Overview

  • TMZ published the police documents and the 911 audio, in which girlfriend Keely is instructed to perform chest compressions after finding Rivers unresponsive in a bathroom blood pool.
  • Responders documented a head laceration and blood consistent with an apparent fall from the toilet before declaring Rivers dead at the scene.
  • Officers noted Rivers’ face and neck were dark blue with the rest of his body reddened, observations some associate with a possible pulmonary embolism, though no cause is confirmed.
  • Reports cite Rivers’ history of severe liver disease and a liver transplant, with ongoing medications and occasional cannabis use and some alcohol, according to his girlfriend.
  • The band has kept public comments limited, and while broader tour plans remain unclear, the Mexico City promoter says the November 29 show will proceed as a tribute.
