LIMP BIZKIT’s SAM RIVERS Died In The Bathroom Of His Florida Home

Limp Bizkit bassist Sam Rivers sadly died earlier in October and the grim details of what happened appear to have emerged.

According to a report from TMZ via an incident report from police, Rivers was found in the bathroom of his home by a person named Keely. Keely reported that “she found Sam in a pool of blood” after Rivers had apparently fallen off the toilet. CPR was administered but unfortunately Rivers didn’t make it.

“They say Sam appeared to have a cut over his eye, a possible result of a fall from the toilet,” reported TMZ. “In the report, the deputy says Sam’s face and neck were dark blue, while the rest of his body was flushed… which they note is commonly seen in instances of pulmonary embolism.”

According to a previous report, authorities in St. Johns County, FL responded to a call on October 18 regarding a “nonresponsive person in cardiac arrest.” That call was marked as an “attended death” call, which according to the American Institute of Crime Scene Integrity (AICSI) is “one in which the decedent 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.”

It also seems that Limp Bizkit will continue with their planned live shows, as a promoter for the band’s November 29 show at the Explanada del Estadio Banorte in Mexico City, Mexico has shared the following statement: “We deeply regret the passing of Sam Rivers, founding bassist of Limp Bizkit, whose talent and legacy marked generations and will continue to resonate in every note of his music.

“In such a significant moment for the band and its fans, Limp Bizkit has decided to continue with its performance on November 29th at the Explanada Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, as part of its ‘Gringo Papi Tour’ 2025. That night, every riff and every scream of the crowd will resonate in honor of the great legacy Sam offered to to Nu-Metal, because his energy will never cease. See you soon!”
