Club wheel spinner Lennin 'DJ KB' Cassily has died. He was 32 years old.
The wheel spinner known for spinning records at night spots such as Rugby Bar and most recently Butlers Bucket died on Sunday afternoon in a tragic suicidal death where he shot himself in the head at their farm in Banket.
A family spokesperson confirmed the death.
"Yes DJ KB is no longer with us. It is very sad and we are so pained by his death. It's very unfortunate that he died in such a way but we are still trying to investigate as to why he took his life as he did not leave any note or anything. Forensics and the CID are at the scene trying to investigate what could have happened as well. As of now that's what I can only say. It is a disturbing matter and we are trying to come to terms with it," he said.
DJ KB was reportedly buried on Tuesday at their farm in Banket. He is survived by his wife who is currently based in New Zealand and son Kea and daughter Sunshine.
DJ KB was the founder of Shumbatafari deejay stable that includes youthful wheel spinners DJ V, DJ Banks and Charlie Chaps who are now plying their trade at Butlers Bucket.
He was based in New Zealand at one time where he lived and deejayed for 10 years. During his stay in New Zealand he was also deejay at Munt FM.
