The Jets heartthrob Eugene Hunt's cause of death revealed after collapsing in a Mormon church in Utah


The singer led a family band that had worldwide success bringing them five top ten hits in the United States.

Pop heartthrob Eugene Hunt died on the operating table after doctors battled in vain for hours to keep him alive during what were meant to be exploratory heart tests, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal. The singer, famed as a member of ’80s family band The Jets and later the hitmaking duo Boys Club, went into hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah, in a bid to diagnose cardiac problems that surfaced shortly before his shock death. Doctors suggested flame-haired Hunt, 57, have heart tests but delayed them for a few days because of the trauma to his head, according to the Wolfgramm family who took him under their wing and made him part of The Jets.
