John Forté, the Grammy-nominated musician known for his work with the Fugees, has died at age 50. He was found dead Monday afternoon in his home in Chilmark, Massachusetts, according to police. Chilmark Police Chief Sean Slavin said there were no signs of foul play or an apparent cause of death. The state medical examiner's office is investigating. Forté was a musical prodigy who contributed to the Fugees' Grammy-winning "The Score" and Wyclef Jean's “The Carnival.” In 2000, he was arrested for drug trafficking and sentenced to 14 years in prison. His sentence was commuted after seven years.
