NO WAY! That's an awful loss. He was a great drummer, and will be remembered. How can someone die of natural causes so early?

Weird.. Wonder what he died from.

Thats this thread

Ahh cheers for that. I did wonder after I'd posted it if someone had posted it here

They are saying he died of natural causes. But we wont know for sure for a while.

I cant believe how many young people are passing on lately. It's so wrong.

 

[Raven]

I agree, seems alittle odd to die of natural causes at 28 though. I think there maybe more to it.

 

[Alien]

It is possible but it's rare. It doesnt seem right to call it natural causes at that age even if it is....what's natural about a 28 year old dieing?!

 

[Raven]

Exactly! Will be interesting to find out what actually caused it.

 

[Alien]

I might be wrong here, but I think if he had something like an undiagnosed heart condition, like so many people do, that would count as natural causes.

 

[Kasynlie]

I don't mean any disrespect but I have no idea who he is. Probably because I don't like that genre of music... anyway... rest in peace.

 

[Raven]

I'd post you some youtube videos but I can't access it from work

Blinded In Chains is a good song to listen to for the drumming if you want to.

I think it may take longer for the results to come back.
