Tony De Vit died at Birmingham's Heartland's Hospital of bone-marrow failure and bronchial pneumonia.
He died after having been rushed into hospital days earlier. Tony had suffered a relapse after collapsing with exhaustion whilst on holiday in Miami recently. At the time Doctors diagnosed him as suffering from severe exhaustion and fatigue, following an acute case of food poisoning. After carrying out extensive tests in the last few day's Doctors later learnt that his illness was in fact bronchial pneumonia and his condition worsened due to bone-marrow failure.
Tony passed away peacefully with his long time friend and personal assistant Andrew Bird at his bedside. Tony's spokesman Gerald Franklin said: "We are all just completely devastated, we thought Tony was on the mend after his recent collapse, he seemed to be making good progress, but four day's ago he suffered a relapse and was taken into hospital. The doctors realized that his illness was far more serious and conducted further tests which revealed the bronchial pneumonia."
