Morillo was born in the United States and lived for several years in Colombia.

“I Like to Move It” was so successful that, after being one of the most talked about songs of 1994, it was used in the movies a decade later and reissues of it were made in Spanish.

It was originally released by the duo Reel 2 Real, which included Erick Morillo, who was found dead on Tuesday at his home in Miami Beach, Florida.

Local police provided few details about the death of the DJ, who was 49 years old and of Colombian and American nationality.

Few details

Police received an emergency call from the DJ’s residence in Miami Beach, where officers found him dead.

The authorities launched an investigation to clarify the cause of his death.

A month ago, Morillo was arrested on an accusation of sexual assault to a DJ I had worked with.

Morillo denied the facts, but turned himself in to the authorities so that the corresponding investigation could begin.

His first court hearing was scheduled to take place on Friday, September 4, according to Florida’s WPLG-TV radio.
