Foo Fighters’ drummer Taylor Hawkins suffered with chest pains before his death Friday, Colombian authorities revealed in a statement Saturday.

In a Spanish-language press statement on the matter, authorities revealed they received a report about a “patient with chest pains” in a hotel located in northern Bogota, in the town of Chapinero and dispatched an ambulance to the location. 

Upon arrival, a health care professional began the resuscitation process. “However, there was no response, and the patient was declared deceased,” Bogota’s Secretary District of Health said. A team from EMI, providing additional home health care via the company, was also at the scene.
