Limp Bizkit Bassist Sam Rivers Found Dead in Florida Home

Sam Rivers, the founding bassist of Limp Bizkit, was found dead in the bathroom of his Florida home, face down in a pool of blood. A woman named Keely discovered him and made a frantic 911 call, performing CPR until emergency responders arrived, but Rivers was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities noted a minor wound above his eye, possibly from a fall, and signs consistent with a pulmonary embolism, though the official cause of death remains unconfirmed pending autopsy and toxicology results. Rivers had a history of serious health problems, including a liver transplant in 2018, and was taking multiple medications related to his condition. Limp Bizkit, which Rivers co-founded in 1994, paid tribute to him as a brother and bandmate, mourning the loss of a key figure in the nu metal band. The investigation is ongoing, with health issues likely playing a role in his passing.
