Heart Attack! @ 49

Let's not jump the gun yet..its possible Let's wait til we hear the cause of death.

Rest in Peace... I had the pleasure of seeing him perform in New York after meeting one of his drummers Gregory Hutchinson.

Brotha has been on dialysis for years. Still performing at a world class level (but not for world class pay scales)
Plus he is not that big, but he BLOWS trumpet and fluglehorn for a living. That takes a toll as well. Hargrove been putting in work DESPITE that poor health for over a decade.

I was just watching an interview he did earlier this year on Youtube

 

[Max Headrom]

He had actually been sick for years and I was kinda anticipating it but it still sucks because he was still young man ...
