Erick Morillo 驚傳在邁阿密的家中猝死
著名電子音樂製作人 Erick Morillo,本月1日被人發現在邁阿密海灘的家中死亡,享年49歲。
警方在當地時間上午10:42分接到來自 5660 La Gorce Drive 的報案電話,當警方與醫護人員到場時,Erick Morillo 已明顯死亡。邁阿密海灘警局新聞發言人 Ernesto Rodriguez 向媒體表示:「當相關人員趕往現場時,並仔細搜索後,發現現場並無任何環境破壞,死亡原因還要等到法醫相驗後才能清楚。」
Erick Morillo 原定於週五(4)因涉嫌性侵出庭,早前該名指控 Erick Morillo 性侵的女子在相關人員的檢驗之下,DNA 呈現陽性反應,這起事件也引起圈內的一片譁然。
在七月下旬,Erick Morillo 還在 Instagram 發布一張照片,並寫上「I miss going to work」(我想去上班)。
作為一位資深的電子音樂製作人,Erick Morillo 在圈內也有許多好友,在得知此消息後,包括 David Guetta、Simon Dunmore、The Martinez Brothers、Danny Howard、Carnage、Joseph Capriati、Sam Feldt 以及 Gorgon City 都在 Twitter 悼念這位好友與前輩。

It’s not easy posting about the passing of one of your contemporaries, especially when it’s someone you knew closely, worked with & were inspired by. I first met Erick Morillo when I was at AM;PM in 1995. We were both mentored by Mark Finkelstein at Strictly Rhythm.
