The New York Post shared these details:

Joseph “Jo Mersa” Marley, son of musician Stephen Marley and the grandson of reggae legend Bob Marley, has died. He was 31.

A rep for the singer confirmed Marley’s death to Rolling Stone, but did not give a cause of death.

The Jamaican American reggae artist was allegedly found unresponsive in a vehicle, according to an initial tweet by journalist Abka Fitz-Henley on Tuesday.

South Florida radio station WZPP posted on Instagram that it had confirmed Jo Mersa’s passing and said he died of an asthma attack, though it did not specify a location where it happened. It noted that the singer leaves behind a wife and daughter.

His grandfather was a pioneer in the reggae movement and known for songs including “Everything’s Gonna Be Alright,” “Get Up, Stand Up,” “Is This Love,” “I Shot the Sheriff,” “No Woman, No Cry” and more.

Bob Marley died in 1981 of melanoma at only 36. He had 11 children with seven different women.

It’s unknown if Joseph Marley was vaxxed but being he was a singer he probably was due to the fact many entertainers needed to be vaxxed in order to perform at venues during the pandemic.
