After living in a "partially conscious" state since the unfortunate car accident that put the musician in a coma back in 2008, the 'Deftones' bassist Chi Cheng, 42, has reportedly died this weekend. "His heart just suddenly stopped," Cheng's mother, Jeanne Marie Cheng, revealed on One Love for Chi website. Cheng was taken to an emergency room in Sacramento, where the talented musician died at 3 a.m on April 13th, reports Rolling Stone. "He left this world with me singing songs he liked in his ear.
