Overview
- St. Johns County Fire Rescue said crews were dispatched Saturday to Rivers' home for a report of a nonresponsive person in cardiac arrest.
- The St. Johns County Sheriff's Office said deputies responded to an "attended death," a designation used when a patient is under medical care for a serious, likely terminal illness.
- Rivers died at age 48 at his Florida residence, and Limp Bizkit announced his passing later that day, calling him the band's "heartbeat."
- Officials have not issued a final medical determination, and reports say the cause of death remains unclear.
- A founding member of Limp Bizkit, Rivers left the band in 2015 due to liver disease, received a liver transplant in 2017, and returned in 2018.
