Death
Miles was found dead in his apartment in Los Angeles on August 17, 2004, at the age of 44. An autopsy later revealed the cause of death to be lymphoma. Band mate Ice-T has stated that "For me, honestly, after something like that, you can either come to a dead stop or you can go on. It was so emotional. We were in the middle of making a new record together and he goes and dies? It was like, 'Damn!' I mean D-Roc was the backbone of the Body Count sound, He went to school with Ernie and I and for me it was great to bring friends from my childhood along to share in success. Words cannot explain how much we will miss D-Roc, more as a friend than as a band member." Ernie C later stated, "D-Roc was the soul of Body Count, before any of it was big it was just him and me jammin' in my little apartment. He was like my little brother, I taught him how to play, I watched him grow 'musically' and I am positive I speak for Body Count and all of our fans that he will be missed". Miles had two daughters.
