Limp Bizkit bassist Sam Rivers died at home under medical care

Limp Bizkit co-founder Sam Rivers reportedly died on Saturday while under medical care at his home in Florida for an unspecified illness.

The 48-year-old nu metal bassist, who previously spoke about having undergone a liver transplant, was initially reported as a “nonresponsive person in cardiac arrest,” a spokesperson for the St. Johns County Fire Rescue told TMZ on Tuesday.

“Deputies responded to an attended death at that address,” authorities confirmed to the outlet. An attended death, similar to someone being in hospice care, means the deceased had been receiving care for a likely life-threatening condition.

Despite how the Jacksonville native’s death was reported, an exact cause of death remains unclear .

Limp Bizkit on Saturday paid tribute to “the one and only Sam Rivers,”
