Base sa pahayag na inilabas ng pamilya ni Jovit—mga magulang na sina Hilario at Cristeta Baldivino pati na ng fiancée niyang si Camille Ann Miguel—aneurysm o pagkakaroon ng blood clot sa utak ang dahilan ng kamatayan ng kauna-unahang winner ng Pilipinas Got Talent.
Ayon pa sa official statement na ipinadala kay Jerry Telan, dating handler ni Jovit sa Star Magic, isang linggo nang nagpapagaling ang singer mula sa hypertension nang imbitahan ito ng isang family friend sa Batangas noong December 3.
Ang payo raw ng doktor kay Jovit ay huwag muna itong kumanta habang nagpapagaling. Pero mapagbigay raw talaga si Jovit kaya hindi nito natanggihan ang hiling mga tao na maghandog siya ng awitin.
Kumanta si Jovit ng tatlong signature songs niya, kasama na ang sikat na awiting “Faithfully” ng bandang Journey.
Matapos ang isang oras, habang nakaupo, nag-iba raw ang mukha ni Jovit at tumulo ang laway nito mula sa kanyang bibig.
Isinugod ang singer sa ospital bandang alas diyes ng gabi.
Base sa CT (computerized tomography) scan, may namuo raw dugo sa kanyang utak, sintomas ng aneurysm. Sinalinan daw kaagad ito ng dugo.
Limang araw na-coma si Jovit, hanggang sa pagpanaw nito ngayong araw.
