The Cuyahoga County Coroner’s office said Sean LeVert’s body was taken to the hospital from the Cuyahoga County Jail. Sean LeVert, 39, was the younger brother of Gerald LeVert and was a member of the band “LeVert.” It is being reported that Sean Levert was being held in jail for allegedly failing to pay about $80,000 in child support. The cause of his death is not immediately known. Coroner’s spokesman Powell Caesar says an autopsy on Sean LeVert’s body will likely be done this morning.
