Negrón, 47, a popular percussionist and vocalist for the local band De La Buena. The preliminary death report released on Thursday says that Negrón Jr.'s death was "Undetermined".

According to the MCMEO, Negrón Jr. began to complain of stomach aches and vomiting the night before he was found deceased in the couch. His girlfriend had told authorities that Negrón Jr. began to complain about stomach aches and vomiting shortly after consuming some Wendy's food after work. He arrived at home around 8:00 p.m. after stopping at Wendy's and his girlfriend stayed up with him until 11:30 p.m., then she went upstairs to bed with her daughter. While Negrón Jr. remained in the couch downstairs. 

The next morning, his girlfriend went to check on him and found him deceased.

When first responders arrived at Negrón Jr.'s residence at the 2500 block of N. Dousman Street, they found him deceased in the couch (sofa) with full clothing on, except shoes and they didn't perform life-saving measures, since he had been deceased awhile. No trauma was found in his body by the MCMEO.
