John Forté has passed away.
On Tuesday, January 13, PEOPLE reported that the Grammy-nominated musician was discovered dead in his home in Chilmark, a town on Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts.
According to the outlet, the Chilmark police department reported that a neighbor found the musician alone on the kitchen floor and contacted authorities at 2:25 p.m. Monday.
By the time the officers arrived, they found him unresponsive and without a pulse, declaring the We Trying to Stay Alive musician dead at the location.
While John Forté’s cause of death has not been determined yet, the police indicated there were no signs of foul play.
