Maurice Gibb, a member of the Disco supergroup
the Bee Gee’s, died at a Miami hospital on Sunday. He Was 53.
Last Thursday Gibb was rushed to the Mount
Sinai Medical Center in Miami where he underwent emergency abdominal surgery.
Gibb reportedly collapsed at his Miami
home Wednesday with severe stomach pains and was rushed to the hospital.
He underwent emergency surgery on Thursday and doctors discovered that
he has some intestinal blockage. Prior to going into surgery Gibb reportedly
suffered cardiac arrest.
Doctors reportedly removed half of Gibb's
stomach and most of his intestines during the emergency surgery. Following
the surgery he was reported to be in critical but stable condition up until
the time of his death early Sunday morning.
Gibb’s brother Barry is suspicious about
the treatment Maurice received at the hospital and questions if his death
was a result of the surgery. "The fact that they had to operate on Maurice
during the shock of cardiac arrest, is very questionable, and we will pursue
every factor, every element, every second of the timeline of the final
hours of Maurice's life," Barry Gibb told the BBC on Sunday.
"We will pursue that relentlessly. That
will be our quest from now on," he said.
