Rob Pilatus, dead at 33 (other reports say 32yo, as his birth year, either 1964 or 1965, is disputed)

Rob Pilatus, a former model whose career as half the pop music duo Milli Vanilli crashed in disgrace and drug addiction after it was revealed that the group lip-synched its songs, was found dead April 3 in a hotel room near Frankfurt, Germany, after consuming alcohol and pills, according to the Bild am Sonntag newspaper. He was 33.
