Foundation reggae and dancehall artiste, Lincoln ‘Sugar’ Minott passed away Saturday night at the University Hospital of the West Indies in St Andrew.
According to Peter Burke, a close associate of the singer, Sugar Minott had complained of feeling ill on Saturday and was taken to the hospital where he died at minutes after 10 pm.
“Sugar had a heart condition and it was about a year and a half ago that he got the first scare.
He was in Canada at the time and I was with him. But as soon as the flutters subsided, Sugar was back to being his old self. That is just how he is,” Burke told the Observer.

There is no way Sugar Minott could have been 54, especially if he were a "Foundation reggae and dancehall artiste."

I read this article with deep regrets. I met him in while he toured the West Coast in California many years ago. I enjoyed his music and showmanship.
He will be missed.
Gone too soon!
