The Jamaican academic, dancer, and choreographer Rex Nettleford — who died on Tuesday 2 February, a day before his 77th birthday — was a cultural and intellectual icon in his home country and across the Caribbean for four decades.
Nettleford died in Washington, DC, where he had travelled on university business. On 27 January, he suffered a major heart attack at his hotel, and was admitted to George Washington University Hospital. He never regained consciousness, and on 2 February, in accordance with his previously expressed wish, he was taken off life support.
