Dancehall veteran Merciless has been found dead.
The entertainer, whose real name is Leonard Bartley, was found unresponsive in a motel room in the Corporate Area on Tuesday afternoon.
It does not appear that foul play is suspected.
Our newscentre reports that he checked into a motel on Walkers Avenue last night, but friends became worried when they couldn not reach him.
Merciless rose to fame in the late 1990s with hits including “Gal Dem Gizada.” But the deejay has been relative quiet over the last decade apart from an occasional clash.
