He was a dental surgeon.
He was elected for a second term in February last year after winning his seat by nine votes in a recount.
This changed the balance of power to 32 seats for the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) and 31 for the PNP.
Following the preliminary count the JLP’s Norman Dunn had been declared the winner of the St Mary South East seat after polling 7,311 to Green’s 7,184.
Opposition MP Fitz Jackson said he is deeply saddened by the news.
“He was a personal friend for many years before he entered representational politics. He was a very warm and pleasant person,” Green said.
