How did Bobby Rivers die?

In the 1970s, Rivers graduated from Marquette University and later became one of VH1’s VJs in the 80s.

Describing his show “Top 5,” the network’s website states, “Sticky buns, deep-fried candy bars, TV dinners and $20,000 cakes. From quirky to outrageous, Top 5 pays homage through food to the Top 40 countdown shows each generation has grown to love. Join host Bobby Rivers on his colorful trips back in time to see how your favorite treats made it to the American Bandstand of food.”

Actor and writer Gregory G. Allen paid tribute to Rivers in a touching Facebook post, expressing deep sorrow: “I am so sad to hear of the passing of Bobby Rivers. Bobby was more than just a TV personality with several shows he hosted. He was an amazing person: funny, kind, joyful, a bright light to so many on social media & life – and a walking encyclopedia of film & TV knowledge. I’m so lucky to have counted him as a friend for over a decade.”
