\n\tFreeman, 56, collapsed during a concert at the Town Center Park in Hamden, Conn., where he appeared to suffer a medical emergency. After medical personnel performed chest compressions on Freeman behind the DJ booth he was transferred to a local hospital; his family confirmed his death the following day. At press time a spokesperson for the medical examiner\u2019s office had not returned Billboard\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to the Mayo Clinic<\/a>, hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is a combination of high blood pressure and the hardening of the arteries that carry oxygen and nutrients from the heart to the rest of the body, which can be caused by high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity and smoking.<\/p>\n
