But good thread. I like the morbidity.
Well, I'd say if you're depressed because your neurochemistry isn't right, that's still a reason.

Glad you like the thread! There are not too many stories here yet, though.

Write more, people!

Elliott Smith
I've always been fascinated with his music, but his tragic and disturbing death has always added a sad note to his music for me. He battled drug addiction, alchoholism, and depression, and was found dead with stab wounds in his stomach.

BTW, I hadnt heard of Kingston Wall until just now. I'm digging it....

Jimmy Sullivan- stage name The Reverend (Tholomew Plague). You can argue all day about how Avenged Sevenfold sucks, but you can't argue that he was one of the greatest rock drummers of the 2000's. Found dead in his home on the 28th of December 2009. The details of the cause of his death haven't yet been finalized and/or released.

On a more personal note, he is one of my biggest influences, and I don't even play drums.

Keith Relf, (Yardbirds, Dread Zeppelin [Tribute Band], Renaissance, Armageddon)
Died doing something he loved. A singer and guitar player. Not known by many.
He died while playing his guitar in the bathtub. Don't laugh, it's not a joke.
R.I.P.

Since nobody is really posting on this thread, I guess I will again.



Birth name Darrell Abbott, best known for his work with Pantera. Shot dead along with several others by a schizophrenic fan. The whole story is pretty interesting, check it out http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimebag_Darrell

There's a vid on Youtube^. It's poor quality but then again it isn't something you would want to see in HD.

An "accident" during autoerotic asphyxiation is an "interesting" cause of death. Apart from the only hypothetical case of Michael Hutchence (INXS), Wikipedia mentions Kevin Gilbert.

David Carradine doesn't count. He was only acting :



EDIT: Ops! I've found an earlier case: Frantisek Kotzwara (1730-1791). In fact, it's the first recorded case.

Brad Delp (June 12, 1951 – March 9, 2007)

"The nicest guy in rock 'n roll"



Brad Delp is mainly famous for being the singer of rock band Boston whose tremendous self-titled rock classic debut from 1976 is one of the best selling debuts ever with sales surpassing 17 millions. Brad's also known for his impressive range and for his kindness.

Anyways, Brad Delp was found dead in his bathroom a few years ago by his then girlfriend and fiancee. He was resting on the floor with his head on a pillow and a suicide note on his chest saying :

"Mr. Brad Delp. Je suis une âme solitaire"

The part in french means "I am a lonely soul". To kill himself, he had placed two smoking charcoal grills in there with him. He had also written a stack of suicide letters for different family and friends. I was genuinely saddened when I found out about his suicide .. Such a sad end for such a great guy and amazing performer. Boston rocks and Delp's definetly one of my favourite singers in rock!
