THE Prodigy’s Keith Flint has been found dead in a suspected suicide at his home, aged 49.
The iconic Essex singer was discovered at around 8am this morning after police and paramedics were called to the property.
Officers remain outside the £1.5m rural home this afternoon but his death is not being treated as suspicious.
The Prodigy’s co-founder Liam Howlett said Keith Flint had ‘taken his own life’.
Famed for his devil-horns haircut and intense stage performances – the iconic 90s musician was performing just last month in New Zealand on a world tour set to run until May.
The Essex boy, who once dated Gail Porter, was the face of the rave band and took centre stage on their best-known hit Firestarter, the single which launched him as an icon.
