Grooveshark co-founder Josh Greenberg has died at just 28

Josh Greenberg, co-founder of the recently-shuttered Grooveshark music-sharing service, has been found dead in his Florida home. He was 28. Early police reports state there was "no evidence of foul play or suicide."

Greenberg's mother, Lori Greenberg, told The Gainesville Sun that her son was in good health and that police had found no visible injuries or signs of drug use. A toxicology report is expected in two to three months. Greenberg's girlfriend discovered his body after returning home from a weekend away. She told the paper "it looked that he was sleeping."

Greenberg co-founded Grooveshark with Sam Tarantino in 2006, while studying at the University of Florida. Initially, the service only allowed users to share music with other users who were online at the same time. This restriction was later removed, with users' music being uploaded to a central storage library for access by all.

The launch of Grooveshark Lite—a web-based player that did not require users to create an account—would go on to net the company millions of active users. However, revelations that Greenberg actively encouraged employees to upload copyrighted songs ultimately led to Grooveshark being shut down in May this year.

While some members of the public continue to try and revive Grooveshark, Greenberg's mother told The Gainesville Sun that her son was more relieved than depressed about site's closure, because it also resulted in the end of the lawsuit put forward by several large record companies over copyright violations.

"He was excited about potential new things that he was going to start," she said.
