New information has come to light following the death of Limp Bizkit bassist Sam Rivers at the age of 48. According to TMZ, the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office received a call regarding a “non-responsive person in cardiac arrest.” The force added, “Deputies responded to an attended death at that address.” The nu-metal star passed away at his home on Saturday, with the band announcing his death later that evening. The cause remains unclear. According to the outlet, an attended death is “one in which the deceased has been a patient under medical care for a serious or life-threatening illness that will likely lead to death in a relatively short period of time.” It adds that this means people who are not expected to live for years, but rather weeks or months. In a post paying tribute to their bandmate, Limp Bizkit said, “Today we lost our brother. Our bandmate. Our heartbeat. Sam Rivers wasn’t just our bass player—he was pure magic.” It added, “He was a once-in-a-lifetime kind of human. A true legend of legends. And his spirit will live forever in every groove, every stage, every memory. We love you, Sam. We’ll carry you with us, always.”
