This article says the cause of death was undetermined. Is that still the case? Has anyone heard anything else about it? It also says they got bumped up to main stage throughout the tour. I'm not sure if I am looking at the dates right, I know he died last year...Am I to understand that we would have been seeing them this year at Ozzfest had this not happened?

and then die.

Drowning Pool is/was a band and the lead singer was found dead on their tour bus last year, but the article says the cause of death was not determined...which I thought was strange because maybe he had drugs in his system and possibly has been speculation, but as far as I know, has not been declared the cause of death.

Well, it was obviously thought that they would have been famous. Read the article.

Perhaps it was...possibly a mixture of such things.

Yeah, and now I remember seeing the video a while back.
The guy reminded me alot of my best friend, and it sounds like
he was probably a decent fellow.

I hereby retract my insensitive statement.

Wow. Kinda hard to believe that man had a bad heart. I wonder what causes the disease.

Whats the mystery?


Well, I don't know if that link is legit but the second one says that he had a heart condition and that is what killed him.

The probable cause of his death is more than likely "idiocy" mixed with being a typical "lame" nu-metal singer in a shitty band.

I'm not "sensitive" when it comes to things that are preventable in the first place, namely: his death (if by drugs/alcohol) and being in a shitty band.

It seems as though there has not been one article I have read yet that says he died from drugs and alcohol. That was my whole point of making this thread because it seems that is what is believed by most. Again...Acccording to a few articles I just read, they say he died of natural causes...a heart condition that I have never heard of, which cause is unknown at the age of 30.
