Leroi Moore - DMB Band

LeRoi Moore, Dave Matthews Band saxophone player and one of the group’s founding members and a key part of its eclectic jazz-infused sound, died Tuesday from sudden complications coming from injuries he sustained in an all-terrain vehicle accident in June. He was 46.

Moore died at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center, according to a statement released on the band’s Web site. The statement did not specify what led to his death.

Moore was initially hospitalized in late June after the accident on his farm outside Charlottesville, Va. He was later discharged and had recently returned to his Los Angeles home to begin a physical rehabilitation program when complications forced him back to the hospital on July 17, the band said.
