Upon his sudden death due to a cerebral hemorrhage on 12 June 1994 (at the age of 45), long time friend Flint Dille recalled: "There was one summer when I had to bail Chris Latta out of the Hollywood jail in order to get him to a voice recording on time. Never figured out what he was in for, but he said it was jaywalking. Chris was a wild, interesting, and very funny guy. I liked him and was very sorry to hear he had passed away.
