He is survived by his girlfriend and six children.
Slice has been competing most recently in the Bellator MMA fighting company, with his last outing coming in February at Bellator 149 in a victory over Dada 5000. The win was overturned however, after Slice had tested positive for steroids.
Slice was due to fight at Bellator London on 16 July at the O2 Arena, and had planned to fly to the capital to meet members of the media this week before being admitted to hospital. A statement from Bellator president Scott Coker confirmed Slice's death, and expressed the entire company's sadness at the tragic news.
