Entertainer James Blunt died after being taken to a hospital on Thursday having suffered cardiac arrest, according to the Los Angeles County Coroner's office.


A Los Angeles fire official told CNN that paramedics arrived at James Blunt's home after a 911 call.

Paramedics took Blunt from his west Los Angeles home Thursday afternoon to UCLA Medical Center, where a team of physicians attempted to resuscitate him for more than an hour, said brother Jermaine Blunt. He said the famed singer was pronounced dead at 2:26 p.m. PT.

An autopsy is scheduled Friday, he said. Results are expected Friday afternoon, according to Lt. Fred Corral of the Los Angeles coroner's office, who also said Blunt was unresponsive when he arrived at the hospital.

Fire Capt. Steve Ruda told CNN paramedics were sent to a west Los Angeles, California, residence after a 911 call came in at 12:21 p.m.

Law enforcement officials said the Los Angeles Police Department Robbery-Homicide Division opened an investigation into Blunt's death. They stressed there is no evidence of criminal wrongdoing but that they would conduct interviews with family members and friends.

CNN Analyst Roland S. Martin spoke on Thursday with Marlon Blunt, brother of James Blunt.

"I talked to Frank Dileo, Blunt's manager. Frank told me that James last night was complaining about not feeling well. He called to tell him he wasn't feeling well.

"James's doctor went over to see him, and Frank said, 'Marlon, from last night to this morning, I don't know what happened.' When they got to him this morning, he wasn't breathing. They rushed him to the hospital and couldn't bring him around."

Oh! May his soul rest in perfect peace,we miss him
