Alec John Such reportedly asked a friend for help before his death.
Such, the former bassist of Bon Jovi, sparked buzzes after his death as he seemingly knew what was going to happen on the day of his passing.
News outlets initially reported that Bon Jovi confirmed the bassist's death on Sunday. No cause of death was given at that time.
But days after his passing, another report revealed that the late musician was able to call a friend for help in the middle of the night on Saturday.
Chief Deputy Coroner for Horry County Tamara Willard said that Such woke up at his South Carolina home on Saturday, at 2:15 p.m. While he was on his way back to bed, he called a friend who was staying with him to ask for help to get back into his bed.
His pal left the room. When the friend came back to check on his status, he was already dead.
Emergency personnel was still called to the scene in the hopes of saving and reviving Such. However, the Bon Jovi founding member did not make it.
Currently, it is believed that Alec John Such's cause of death was due to natural causes. Accident and foul play have since been ruled out.
RIP, Alec John Such
Such's death was publicized by Bon Jovi leader, Jon Bon Jovi. Through the band's Twitter page, he wrote a heartfelt message to honor their founding member.
"To be honest, we found our way to each other thru him - He was a childhood friend of Tico [Torres] and brought Richie [Sambora] to see us perform. Alec was always wild and full of life. Today these special memories bring a smile to my face and a tear to my eye. We will miss him dearly," the statement went on.
Before Bon Jovi, Such played with Sambora and THE MESSAGE. He stayed with Bon Jovi until his departure in 1994.

During his time with the New Jersey-based band, he contributed to making hit songs, including "Livin' on a Prayer" and "You Give Love a Bad Name."
In a past interview with Asbury Park Press (via Express UK) in 2000, the Bon Jovi's former bassist revealed that his company lied about his age. He noted that he was 31 when he joined the band, making him 10 years older than his bandmates.
His age caused him to work as he began to get burned out at the age of 43.
Still, he reunited with them by attending Bon Jovi's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018.
