What happened to Erick Morillo?

The house music star - best known for 1993 hit I Like To Move It - died at his home in Miami Beach, Florida, on Tuesday September 1.

Morillo, born in 1971, was 49 years old.

A law enforcement source told the Miami Herald detectives are probing if he died of a drug overdose.

The DJ's family confirmed his death to People, saying: "He was well-loved by his family and he had a lot of love to give."

It came just a month after Morillo was arrested after he was accused of sexual battery.

A woman claimed she was assaulted at his Miami Beach residence – which he denied.

The victim alleged Morillo “made several advances towards her, some sexual in nature, but she refused all of his attempts".

Morillo denied the accusations against him but a rape kit tested positive for his DNA, according to Miami's Local10 News.

Police say Morillo went to the station with his lawyer and turned himself in.
