Limp Bizkit’s Sam Rivers Reportedly Died After Falling In The Bathroom

More details have surfaced regarding the death of Limp Bizkit bassist Sam Rivers. According to TMZ, the person who made the 911 call found him in the bathroom face down in a pool of blood and started performing CPR before the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Department arrived. A deputy says they tried to perform CPR as well, but he was ultimately pronounced dead by the St. Johns County Fire Rescue. Rivers appeared to have suffered a cut over his eye after seemingly falling off the toilet. The musician’s face and neck were also dark blue, while the rest of his body was flushed. That appearance is common in cases involving pulmonary embolisms. The deputy also noted that a small amount of coagulated blood was discovered in the bathroom as well. A cause of death is still pending, but a previous report said Rivers was “nonresponsive” and “in cardiac arrest” when authorities received an “attended death” call. For those unaware, an “attended death” is for patients who are under medical care for serious or life-threatening illnesses that result in death. A post from his bandmate DJ Lethal also seemed to suggest that he was battling cancer.
