Rob Pilatus (June 8, 1965 – April 2, 1998)
Rob Pilatus was half of the pop music duo Milli Vanilli, the group that suffered public disgrace in November 1990, when their producer outed them for lip-syncing on their records.
In the years following the collapse of Milli Vanilli, Pilatus struggled with substance abuse and even attempted suicide.
In 1998, on the eve of a promotional tour for a newly completed Milli Vanilli album, Pilatus, 32, was found dead from an accidental alcohol and methadone overdose in a Frankfurt, Germany, hotel room.
