According to witnesses, he was sitting outside a local cafe when someone snatched his laptop, which contained all of his music, and jumped into a red Audi SUV. After chasing the thief and grabbing onto the side of the getaway vehicle, Deporis was briefly dragged along the road and then run over. He was later pronounced dead at a nearby hospital. He was 40 years old. No arrests have yet been made.
