LONDON — Keith Flint, a high-octane founding member of the British dance act the Prodigy, who sang lead vocals on their hits “Firestarter” and “Breathe,” was found dead on Monday in Essex, England. His death was announced on the band’s Instagram account. In a post on Monday, Liam Howlett, the band’s main musician, said Flint had killed himself. “I can’t believe I’m saying this but our brother Keith took his own life over the weekend,” Mr. Howlett wrote, saying he was angry, confused and heartbroken by the news. The Prodigy was scheduled to tour the United States in May, with one show set for Terminal 5 in New York.
