However, the Riverside County coroner investigating his passing said that the cause of death was yet to be officially determined.

Together with Paul Rodgers, who went on to front The Firm and Bad Company, he masterminded many of the band’s biggest hits.

“He leaves behind his daughters Hannah and Jasmine Fraser, and their mother Ri, his sister Gail, brothers Gavin and Alex, and many friends and associates in the industry,” the statement concludes.
