1987 was the last year of a dreamer and human rights defender and icon of the Rastafari movement. who in a tragic way on Friday, September 11 after he resumed his career again and was reborn in the artistic world this after he returned to his home in Jamaica from this world victim of an alleged robbery a gang of three men arrived at his House asking for money. Tosh replied that he had nothing with him, but they didn't believe him. They stayed at his residence for several hours in an attempt to extort Tosh. At that time, many of the musician's friends arrived to welcome him after his return to Jamaica. That increased the frustration of the armed men, especially the band leader, "Leppo" Lobban Dennis, whom Tosh had become friends with and who tried to help him find work after a long prison sentence. Apparently, "Leppo" Lobban Dennis put a gun in Tosh's head and fired twice, killing him. The gunmen began firing, injuring several people and killing disc jockey Jeff "Free Me" Dixon. "Leppo" was handed over to the authorities. He was sentenced to death, but his sentence was appealed in 1995 and he remains in prison.
