Davy Jones, lead singer of the Monkees, has died in Indiantown of an apparent heart attack, his publicist confirms. Martin County Sheriff's officials say someone called paramedics at 8 a.m. to an address in the 9900 block of Southwest Fox Brown Road after Jones complained that he was "not feeling well and having trouble breathing."

Those rescue crews took Jones to Martin Memorial South Hospital where he was pronounced dead, according to a statement released by sheriff's office this afternoon.

"At this time there do not appear to be any suspicious circumstances surrounding the death," the statement said. The district's medical examiner has confirmed the death.

"We are currently evaluating whether or not the Medical Examiner's Office will take jurisdiction," according to a statement read by spokeswoman Rebecca Shortridge. "It is quite a shock," said Helen Kensick, Jones' publicist of 50 years. Kensick said Jones keeps horses in Indiantown.

1. Thanks - I didn't realize he still had horses

One of the reasons he was my favorite Monkee was that he had been a jockey. Being a horse crazy girl, that was just another reason for me to have a crush on the cutest Monkee.

2. If you go to the link there are some nice pics of his horses. He didn't live that far away from me.

5. He was still into Thoroughbreds, too, from the look of the horses

Don't know what happened - tried to edit to correct a typo, subject line disappeared. When I tried to edit again to fix the subject the message disappeared. So I self-deleted and will try again!

3. That is nice... I'm very sorry we lost him...

He always struck me as "one of the good guys" as far as celebrities go and of course my early childhood was memorable for the Monkees... RIP, Davy. Shake 'em up in the next realm.
