His
sister, Diana Wolgamott told TMZ on Sunday and revealed what she
believes may have been the cause of his death. She said he may have died from a
possible heart attack and no autopsy will be conducted.
Bruno
taught Micheal Jackson popping, waving, gliding, and animation techniques over
their 16 years of working together in Captain EO (1986), Moonwalker (1988), and
his 69-date Dangerous Tour (1992-93).
Falcon
also danced in music videos for Lionel Richie's All Night Long, Chaka Khan's I
Feel For You, and Klymaxx's Meeting in the Ladies Room - which
was hilariously parodied by Saturday Night Live in 2019.
The
Mexican-American choreographer also appeared in Breakin', its sequel Breakin'
2: Electric Boogaloo as well as Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey in 1991.

way too young. [Shaking my head].'
