The iconic frontman of the 1990s electronic band The Prodigy, Keith Flint, has been found dead at his home aged 49.
The singer was found unconscious at his country property near Dunmow, Essex at around 8am this morning, after police were called to what they described as ‘concerns for his welfare’.
Paramedics attempted to resuscitate him but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police say they are not treating the death as suspicious.
An Essex police spokesman confirmed that a 49-year-old man had died.
“We were called to concerns for the welfare of a man at an address in Brook Hill, North End, just after 8.10am on Monday,” he said.
“We attended and, sadly, a 49-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene. His next of kin have been informed. The death is not being treated as suspicious and a file will be prepared for the coroner.”
The musician became one of the faces of Britpop in the 1990s when his energetic dance style and punk haircuts made him one of the movement’s most recognisable characters.
His band were best known for their fast-paced songs including Firestarter, Breathe and Smack My B**** Up.
