 | http://www.tmz.com/ Tom Petty has died … his longtime manager Tony Dimitriades confirms.
We broke the story — EMTs responded to a call at Tom’s home Sunday night for a person who was unconscious, not breathing and in full cardiac arrest — he was taken to UCLA Santa Monica Hospital, where he was immediately put on life support.
Dimitriades says Petty died at 8:40 PM PT at UCLA surrounded by friends, family and his bandmates.
After learning Tom had no brain activity, his family chose to take him off life support.
Tom hit it big in 1978 with his band, the Heartbreakers … which scored hits with “Don’t Do Me Like That” and “Here Comes My Girl” to name just a few.
