Limp Bizkit to Proceed With Tour After Sam Rivers’ Death, 911 Call Cited Cardiac Arrest

Officials say the case involved a cardiac-arrest call with an attended death designation.

Overview

  • A St. Johns County Fire Rescue spokesperson confirmed a response to Rivers’ home for a “nonresponsive person in cardiac arrest” on Oct. 18.
  • The sheriff’s office described the situation as an “attended death,” a term used when a person dies at home under ongoing medical care.
  • Authorities have not released an official cause of death, and no medical examiner findings have been made public.
  • Promoters say the Nov. 29 Mexico City stop of the Gringo Papi tour will go ahead in his honor, with South American dates still listed through Dec. 20.
  • Rivers co-founded Limp Bizkit in 1994, left in 2015 due to liver disease, received a transplant in 2017, and rejoined the band in 2018.
