Bee Gee Maurice dies from heart attack

MAURICE GIBB, a member of the disco band the Bee Gees, died yesterday at a US hospital. He was 53.

Gibb had been in a critical condition in hospital after suffering a heart attack during an operation to remove an intestinal blockage after he collapsed at his Florida home last week.

His wife, Yvonne, and his two children had been with him at the Mount Sinai Medical Centre in Miami since the surgery on Thursday night.
