Celebrity ATV realted death
Though I'm not a fan of their music the ATV angle caught my eye..... anyone know what really happened here? It seems odd that he died from the injuries stated below, a full month after the accident?!? My Father suffered the same injuries along with a broken collar bone and a concussion - he was back up and running in a few weeks........ Oddly this seems to be the case too with LeRoi but then he must have had some setback or something......... sad news either way.....
LeRoi Moore, saxophonist and founding member of the Dave Matthews Band, died suddenly in Los Angeles Tuesday afternoon after suffering complications from an ATV accident in June. Moore was 46. The June 30th accident on Moore's farm in Charlottesville, Virginia, left him with broken ribs and a punctured lung. Moore was on the path to recovery, arriving in Los Angeles for an intensive physical rehabilitation program, but according to the DMB Website, he returned to the hospital last month due to complications. A representative for Dave Matthews Band confirmed Moore's passing and in a statement the band indicated the musician died at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center. Since Moore's accident, DMB has continued on with their U.S. tour with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones' saxophonist Jeff Coffin filling in. Despite Moore's death, the band still performed Tuesday night at Los Angeles' Staples Center, which featured a setlist that contained a number of tributes to their fallen bandmate.

I wonder if flying across the whole country in a pressurized airplane is bad for a punctured lung?</end quote></div>
Exactly right.....
I just read another article that said he flew against his doctor's advice and they think that could have contributed to his death......
I remember the doctor telling my father NOT to fly for at least 6-weeks after his crash. He said the pressure can cause big problems......
Sad that this is being made to look like an ATV issue, when it is starting to look like a patient not following medical advice issue.......
