Jamaican bobsledder Sam Clayton Jr. died on March 31 at the age of 58 from COVID-19.
Steel Pulse, an England-based band who Clayton worked with as a sound engineer, confirmed the news in an email to Daniel E. Slotnik of the New York Times.
"Most important of all, in this thieving, cutthroat music industry of ours, he was trustworthy," Steel Pulse singer David R. Hinds wrote. "Where Sam towered over the rest of his peers, is that he held dearly every task he did, no matter how small, or how tedious. They all got his relentless undivided attention."
Clayton was part of the 1988 Jamaican bobsled team that qualified for the Olympics and inspired the Disney movie Cool Runnings. He wasn't one of the four men in the sled that crashed.
