Scott Knudson, chief deputy of St. Croix County, states: "Foul play was not suspected, Knudson said, adding that the cause of death was consistent with a fall. Lowe's vehicle was found at a parking lot on the Minnesota side of the bridge, which Knudson said was the focus of a search on July 18. He said authorities from St. Croix and Washington counties, along with members of the U.S. Coast Guard and National Parks services were all deployed in the search effort."

Mental illness is oft disregarded in my country (USA). Many people still don't understand it or take it seriously.

Not a big fan, but sorry to hear this. This is a local news story for me, but none of the local news channels covered this story. Now if it was some shit local rapper, hip hop or folk singer with dozens of fans the news would be all over it. Minnesota sucks for metal!!!!!

Written by Joe Zombie on 23.07.2015 at 12:21 it's the exact same in Canada dude; where healthcare is free... people place a taboo on it like it's contagious or something... It's like you either deal with it yourself or do what Justin did and be called weak. I believe being pushed to the limit like that is bullshit, and admitting you need help then not getting it is completely unacceptable to the health industry. I commend him for getting as far as he did in seeking help, and going out in a way where it affected the least amount of people. Not like some people who jump off a building giving dozens of people ptsd or suicide by cop...

Awful thing. Such a talented, young dude. One of the few in the "djent" category that was worth a damn.
