Joseph Marley, one of the grandsons of Bob Marley, was found dead in his car, yesterday Tuesday, December 27 in Florida. He was 31 years old.
Commonly known as “Jo Mersa” Marley, Joseph Marley is the son of Stephen Marley, one of 11 sons of Reggae music legend Bob Marley.
Jo Mersa followed in his grandfather’s and father’s footsteps by also dabbling in reggae music. Not with the same success of course.
The cause of his death has not yet been elucidated. The hypothesis of an asthma attack persists for the moment because he was asthmatic.
Jo Mersa leaves in the prime of life like his grandfather Bob Marley, struck by cancer when he was 36 years old in 1981.
