According to the Hartford Courant, Connecticut police are treating the death of All That Remains guitarist Oliver "Oli" Herbert as suspicious. Herbert died on October 16th at the age of 44 and his body was found in Hydeville Pond.

The late guitarist's widow, Beth, had "confirmed" his cause of death this past Saturday (November 10th) as "drowning" in a post on his official Facebook page, which has since been deleted.

The Hartford Courant reports that although Herbert did die from drowning, the manner of how he drowned remains "undetermined." Here's an excerpt from their report: "While the state medical examiner's office ruled this week that Herbert, 44, drowned, it called the manner of death 'undetermined.' The manner of death is usually homicide, suicide or accident but state Chief Medical Examiner Dr. James Gill said Herbert's case will remain undetermined unless new information is developed. State police sources said that police are treating his death as suspicious at this point. The Eastern District Major Crime Squad is investigating the case."

Sources told the Hartford Courant investigators are compiling a timeline of Herbert's last 24 hours, reviewing his medical history and searching for people who may have been in contact with him on or before October 16th when his body was found in Hydeville Pond.

Oli and his wife have lived in a home that borders the pond since 2014, town records show. That house was reportedly in pre-foreclosure at the time of the guitarist's death for lack of payment.

Over the weekend, Elizabeth Herbert, who had reported her husband missing, released a statement via his official Facebook page in which she revealed that Oli drowned after apparently ingesting antidepressant medication and sleeping pills. She also addressed the sudden cancellation of the public memorial service for Oli, which was supposed to be held on Sunday, November 11th at the Worcester Palladium in Worcester, Massachusetts. She wrote: "As far as why the memorial was cancelled; concern for my personal safety and home due to numerous threats to both is the reason."

Singer Philip Labonte said last week that he was "shocked" by Oli's death. "He was 44 years old, and he wasn't really a big partier," Labonte told Meltdown Of Detroit's WRIF radio station. "He would go hang out with people and stuff, but he didn't really do a lot of drinking? He didn't do drugs, he didn't really drink a lot. He would smoke pot once in a while, but that was the extent of it."
