On June 30th, 2008, Dave Matthews Band’s saxophonist, LeRoi Moore got into an ATV accident that sent him to the University of Virginia hospital.  He had left the hospital, only to return a few days later. His condition was not good and word was that things weren’t going well.

We do not know the details, but have verified from two independent sources that this is in fact true.   I talked with Bruce Flohr, who confirmed his death several moments ago.

LeRoi, rest in peace and in your and Dave Matthews Band honor we won’t write anything on the site for tomorrow.  LeRoi died at the young age of 46.
