His passing came just under a month after he was arrested and charged with sexual battery on a woman at his home in December. Despite denying the accusations, the musician turned himself in after a rape kit tested positive with his DNA.

At the time of his death, his family told People: "He was well-loved by his family, and he had a lot of love to give."
