The founder of Shower Posse has died of illnesses at a Jamaica hospital,
a year after returning to his native island following a prison term in the
United States.
Vivian Blake, 53, died Sunday at University Hospital of the West Indies,
where he had been admitted a day earlier after suffering a heart attack,
according to attorney George Soutar. The lawyer said Blake also had kidney
