Late Limp Bizkit Bassist
Died at Home Under Medical Care …
Fatal Cardiac Arrest Call
Published
Sam Rivers — the bassist for the nu metal group Limp Bizkit — died Saturday … and now we have more of a clue as to what happened.
A spokesperson for the St. Johns County, Florida Fire Rescue tells TMZ … they responded to a call Saturday for a “nonresponsive person in cardiac arrest.”
The final cause of death is still unclear, but a rep for the St. Johns County Sheriff tells TMZ … “Deputies responded to an attended death at that address.” 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 — days or months, but not years.
Rivers temporarily left Limp Bizkit in 2015 … later revealing it was because he developed liver disease due to excessive drinking. He received a liver transplant and rejoined the group in 2018.
The group announced the news of his passing Saturday evening, calling him their “heartbeat.”
Sam wasn’t just a bass player, the group said — he “was pure magic. The pulse beneath every song, the calm in the chaos, the soul in the sound.”
Rivers was 48.
RIP
