Jones died from complications following esophageal surgery. Earlier this year, he revealed on social media that he was suffering from gastrointestinal problems.
"I can't eat, I've lost 15 pounds. For the last few weeks I haven't eaten more than three bites of food daily. Some days I don't eat or drink at all. Thankfully, I'm about to undergo surgery," Carson wrote recently. Unfortunately, complications from the surgery proved fatal for him.
