Tony Thompson, lead singer of R&B group Hi-Five, was found dead Friday night

outside an apartment building in Waco, Texas. According to Waco's CBS

affiliate, KWTX, Thompson's body was discovered by security officers around

8:40 p.m. behind a building at the Trendwood Apartment complex at 1700 Dallas

Circle. Though autopsy results are still pending, early reports indicate that

the cause of death was possibly a drug overdose. Thompson was 31-years-old.


Thompson shot to fame as a member of the R&B group Hi-Five, which signed with

Jive Records in 1990. The group was best known for such hits as "I Like the

Way (The Kissing Game), "I Can't Wait Another Minute" and "She's Playing Hard

to Get."


He went on to release a solo album, Sexsational, in 1995. Hi-Five reunited in

2006 and released another album, The Return, on Thompson's N'Depth Record

label. Most recently, Thompson teamed up with UGK's Bun-B on his 2006 single,

"Rock Ya Body."
