Chi Cheng of The Deftones died Saturday. He was 42 years old.

The bassist from Grammy award-winning band the “Deftones” has died more than four years after a horrific car crash left him fighting for his life.

Chi Cheng, 42, passed away about 3 a.m. Saturday morning after his heart stopped and he was rushed to a Sacramento, Calif., emergency room.
