Grooveshark co-founder Josh Greenberg, a pioneer in Gainesville’s student startup movement, was found dead in his bed Sunday by his girlfriend in the house they shared. He was 28.
Lori Greenberg, his mother, said Monday he had no health problems and she was told by police who investigated Sunday night that there was no evidence of foul play, injuries or drugs.
She said her son was more relieved than depressed about the settlement that shut down Grooveshark on April 30 since it ended the lawsuit that had been hanging over his head. Several record companies had sued the online music streaming service over copyright violations.
…The medical examiner was performing an autopsy Monday morning and would know if there were obvious problems with Greenberg’s heart or brain, otherwise, toxicology results would be done in two or three months, Lori Greenberg said.
“They are as baffled as I am,” she said. [Gainesville.com]
