Yes I was there that Sunday morning.

He died as a result of police action.
The accident was on hope rd just below trafalgar rd.

They did not call an ambulance.they did not take him to the closest ER. This would be UCHOspital.
They threw him on the floor of the short bed land rover jeep with his heet hanging out and at times hitting the road. And they drove him all the way to KPHospital miles away. Instead of UCH, MEDICAL ASSOCIATES, ANDREWS MEMORIAL OR THE ADventist hospital on hope rd.
In jamaica the lack of appropriate accident and emergency protocols and services is the major cause of death.
That inadequacy cost the country more than a thousand times what they would pay to finance it.

Looks like the most common causes of death were heart problems, cancer or murder.

One that especially hits me hard is Tenor Saw, whose music I loved. That death was brutal &amp; unnecessary....such a loss &amp; only 22 yrs. old.

Another reggae icon, Jacob Miller, gone too soon in a car accident....could have been a really great influence on the youth!

It would be nice to know the causes of death that were unknown or unlisted.....maybe we never will..... </div></div> </div></div>

I really didn't want to hear that, Dr. Dudd, but the truth shall prevail!

Re: .. how many (legendary) reggae artise have died period

I have pure old videos of some of these guys from back in the days,one of my favourite is tiger on stage at reggae sunsplash,this particular one of trevor sparks,supercat,junior demus, nicodemus and lou rankin I used to watch all the time back in late 80's,......it was the old time kind of djaying that I particularly loved,just the rhyming to the beat.

Re: .. how many (legendary) reggae artise have died period

this was the golden age of dancehall--- early 80's to around 1992...

selector play riddim...people listen good tune...

then participation 2...-version play
dj's &amp; singers take turn riding the riddim...everything just level;

the sting with tiger, papa san &amp; admiral bailey onstage together was one of the best stage performances ever...

then late 90's &amp; after the hype up- hype up ting tek ova;

was lucky enough to catch him live at an outdoor dance in '87...

his performance was spine-tingling- voice booming thru the neighborhood- cosmic;

they don't make them like this anymore...

so young- tragic loss
