Bob has been touring the country performing and was in Jacksonville, Florida. He performed a show Saturday night, and shortly after 4pm Sunday morning, police officers responded to a man-down call at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes hotel and discovered him unresponsive in a hotel room. No signs of foul play were found and he was pronounced dead at the scene. The Medical Examiner’s Office will determine a cause and manner of death at a later date.
