Tony Thompson was the guy singin lead. Man, from near fatal car wrecks, accidental deaths, drugs, Hi-Five was almost as cursed as the cast of The Little Rascals and the r&b band Heatwave.....

There are 2 original members of Hi-Five that are gone. Tony and (I believe his name was) Pooh.

From Wiki
After Hi-Five disbanded around 1993, Thompson released a solo album, Sexsational, in 1995. He scored a minor hit with "I Wanna Love Like That".

In 2005, Thompson re-incarnated Hi-Five with four new members, one of whom was his younger brother, Jordan. Their album The Return was released in 2006 on Thompson's independent label, N'Depth.

On June 1, 2007, Tony Thompson died in his hometown of Waco, Texas. An autopsy later revealed that Thompson, who had a history of "huffing", accidentally overdosed on freon.[2][3]

Someone posted it above. I know he died in a car accident, but I'm not sure when. I can't recall if it is before or after the 2nd album came out.
