Reggae icon Bob Marley's grandson Joseph 'Jo Mersa' Marley passed away at  31. He was reportedly found dead in a vehicle on Tuesday morning. A report claimed he died of an asthma attack.

Born in Jamaica on March 21, 1991, Marley moved to Miami at the age of 11. He started writing his music in middle school. He was a teen when he released his first song, My Girl.

Marley once told in an interview with the Jamaican Observer that it was with his cousin that he decided to make a career in music. He was only 11 when the two cousins sat together to make beats.

Marley was known for songs such as Made It, No Way Out, and Burn It Down. In 2014 and 2021, he released two EPs - Comfortable and Eternal, respectively.

Jamaican politician Olivia Grange paid tribute to Marley. She wrote, "We were graced by Joseph, whose stage name was Jo Mersa, performing at our Jamaica 60 Launch in Miramar, Florida, USA in May."
