Metal Injection saying it was a suicide. Poor guy

Two seriously awesome bands. Love both of their last 2 releases a lot, they were savage and addictive at the same time. RIP.

That's very sad. Such a talented soul left us. RIP Anyway, nothing seems to look suicide. I don't know from where MI drew that news.

It could have been suicide... But Metal Injection is not a reliable news source.

Written by roeder on 11.10.2016 at 10:20 Then somewhere down the line, other sources would have mentioned the credibility of Information. It's still unclear about his death or any legit Information is been provided from his family members/relatives or band's official page. Saw some tweets mentioned his suicidal but crassed by other tweeters mentioning his unbalanced health.
