The death of Keith Flint, singer with the Prodigy during their conquering 90s heydey and beyond, is being reported by various sources.
Among those is NME who are quoting an Essex Police spokesperson as saying they were ‘called to concerns for the welfare of a man at an address in Brook Hill, North End’ this morning (March 4th). “We attended and, sadly, a 49-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene,” they continue. “His next of kin have been informed. The death is not being treated as suspicious and a file will be prepared for the coroner.”
An east of England ambulance spokeswoman is also quoted, saying: “We were called at 8.08am with reports of a man who was unconscious in Brook Hill, Dunmow. We sent an ambulance officer, Essex and Herts Air Ambulance and one ambulance. Sadly a man in his forties died at the scene.”
Flint became one of the most recognisable faces of nineties British music as Prodigy scored consecutive UK number ones in 1996 with Firestarter and Breathe.
