The Trafalgar-based Look-Us Band has been plunged into mourning following the death of one of its members, Kurt Hector.
Hector died at the Princess Margaret Hospital on Tuesday morning after being ill for about six weeks, band manager Ronald Charles said.
“The news is really sad for all of us,” he stated on Q95 on Tuesday morning.
The exact cause of his death is unknown at this time but Charles said he has been hospitalized for some weeks.
“I know they were waiting for some result but I have not received any further information,” he stated. “I would not be able so say much on the issue.”
Charles described Hector as a people’s person who was well-liked in the community of Trafalgar and who will be missed.
“A helpful fella, focused,” he stated. “He worked hard. He was a community man, very liked by the community.”
The Look-Us Band shot to prominence with its hugely popular song, “Dominica Overcome” following the passage of Tropical Storm Erika.
It is sad losing a family member, a friend and associate so young. Only God really knows why.
Deepest sympathy to his family. May you find consolation and peace in the Crucified and Risen Lord. He holds the key.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul rest in peace. Amen!
RIP friend of many. The Lord will guide you now.
To hear that my dad is dead really saddened me rip dad
Alas sweetie i’m so so sorry for your terrible loss. i remember you in stomach. I am so happy that you will carry on his legacy. Yes he is gone but not forgotten and he will continue to live through you. hold Strong always remember where you came from.
Boy this news hit Me really hard in Germany,I am also a former member of the original band as bassist,I can remember long after the my exit of group,Kurt had a real passion for music ,he loved it,he came to morne prosper and was eager to revive look us,I extend my most profound condolences to his family and the band members,I remembered you as a positive young man,whose contribution to the community was always to uplift ,R.I.P little brother and travel well.
I am concerned about remarks posted without proper information. I think we should stop coming to conclusion even when thing pull our heart strings. it is unfair to the person we should respect and their families.
We do not know the extent of his illness. Who say the family needs funeral support. It would be kind to contact the family discretely.
Sincerest condolences to the family. Father comfort them as only you can. He is no longer in pain.
A real soldier a real link in society you will definitely be miss. May your soul rest in peace. Jah bless .
RIP KURT but Its so sad that your gone so soon. Why Q95 did not have a pledge for him ? I guess he not a Privy Council Linton . Good people never be last too long. Hector your pips will be strong for you. LOOK US is not WCK / TRIPLE K so they cannot hold no funeral fund concert for burial expenses. Dats if dat bank have a hape=kneee……..alas parpar best I go and manage dem.
KURT WE LOVED YOU.
what are you really trying to say
we need the so called Pastors to go to PMH and to bind the “Death Spirit” there.
Was there said that people would not die. The pastors are calling to is all to prepare to meet our God yourself included (who put the spirit ). Death is inevitable but was is important is that we are ready to meet our maker and not go without recognising the one who gave us life. Acknowledge the Lord of all lords and King of all kings.
Soon you will send pastors to the mogue and gentle rest to bring back the dead
You do not have to be rich to go overseas for medical treatment .It is the lack of ambition . Lack ofLove and care forbyour ownself because there are Insurances companies in thgthge country ,All you have to do is to develop some kind of self discipline ,pay for your own medical insurance . They are not expensive.You people want to blame Government for every thing ,disgusting non ambitious people.
so what u are saying is that nothing can be treated here… we have to go overseas for everything.. ok… u people disgust me….
wow he has the same name with the national football coach that died a few years ago r.i.p.
Ronald I hope you visited him. Maybe if you did you’d have known the cause of death. And y’all jump and start to comment on hospital one time. So unfortunate. Anyway Rest In Peace dearest.
WHERE ERIKA RELIEF LOOK US MONEY GO ?
Can we use it to bury him? huh…………..
De manière was radio de day before trying to raise funds to send his band member abroad.Stop it.
Condolences to the family and friends, rest in peace Kurt you will be surely missed.
How long were they “waiting for results”? When the difference between life and death is a prompt diagnosis, “waiting for results” is a death sentence. The state needs to put more resources and urgency into saving the lives of its citizens. Those funds that went towards the building of the state palace could have helped save this young man’s life if the funds had been allocated to modernizing the hospital and the equipment. RIP Brother Kurt. Your suffering has ended. I extend my condolences and well wishes to your family and loved ones.
i know right.. how long do u have to wait for a result.. we are living in modern technological world… i did a full medical outside of dominica, they drew the blood at 9 am and by 11 am i got all my results.. Dominica need to stop that thing where by u have to wait 2 weeks for a result.. tests have to go shanghai and come back..stupes
That’s so sad. Thinking of his family and friends. He was so young.
6 WEEKS ILL WAITING FOR RESULTS??????????????????????????? SAD! It’s a pity not everyone has the resources to seek immediate medical attention on their own. RIP to the entire family and use this time to reflect on what we can do better.
i dont understand why he was kept at the pmh for all that time before he was sent for medical attention overseas.the government has funds to assist people in situations like this.thanks to the c.b.i program
A cousin and well loved band member. He was the baby of the band. Was still a school boy when he started doing backup vocals. He basically grew up in and with the band. Did vocals backup on all our albums. Always willing to help and at time was a “pest” but in the good way. Certainly had fun memmories of him particularly when we travelled to Gwada and Martnique. His favorite song was Fam Martinique la. He was there with us when we played at the World Creole Music Festival. As the founder and former lead vocalist of the band I myself is very much saddened by his passing. I express deepest sympathy to his family and will coordinate with his family and Ronald to see how we the current and past members of the band can assist with funeral expense.
Condolences to his family and band members.
We convey our condolences.We pray for strength and endurance for all his close associates.RIP
Six weeks ill and did not seek other medical attention wow
@May…please, please, please….now is not the time. If you don’t have something nice to say just keep quiet. In other words, go back, read the report , try to understand what’s said, think, think, think, then try to put words together which make sense then come back.
Oh Good Lord….please help some of us
My sympathy and condolences to family , band members , and friends . Strength and courage in your time of loss.
[I know they was waiting for some results} Dominica is one place you don’t want to get sick, and to end up at the P.M. H. , sorry to say this , there are some wonderful people who work there but they don’t have the equipment to work with , when the current political leader”s wife has to go the united states just to give birth to a child rather going to the P.M.H what does that tells you ? this man was a young and vibrant man, what happened, we need answers.
My sympathy to the his family, friends and the band members. May his soul rest in peace.
You are so correct and of course we poor Dominicans can’t afford to hop on a plane to go elsewhere for treatment. I wonder if Dominicans can see and comprehend the state in which our island is, when will our eyes be opened. Dominicans were so smart but now I am wondering what we are drinking that’s making us so stupid and blind. WAKE UP MY PEOPLE OPEN YOUR EYES WE ARE SINKING SLOWLY.
Sad..RIP bro
This is heartbreaking. May his soul rest in perfect peace. Condolences to the family and friends of this young man.
VERY VERY sad…RIP young man. I also feel that we need to improve our health care system. It takes too long to get test results back. There might have been a possibility that this young man could have been saved…6 weeks is more than enough time.
my point exactly…we have to wait too long for results here man
My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Mr Kurt Hector. It is always sad when someone passes on but that is something we cannot escape. It is even more sad when that person is a young and productive member of society. To the family and friends i say seek comfort in each other and support each other in this period of mourning. Once again my sincere condolences. Blessed guidance.
RIP KURT
Rest in peace Kurt. Saw you suffered while at the hospital and now you are at peace with your God.
Rip
Last time I spoke to him was on Carnival Monday while visiting another friend at PMH. As a fellow musician who had the opportunity to be on the same stage performing with him, I am deeply saddened by his passing. Condolences to his family and friends including his music family.
