Obituary - Former Guitarist Ralph Santolla To Be Taken Off Life Support
There's some tragic news today regarding former Obituary and Deicide guitarist, Ralph Santolla. He fell into a coma after suffering a heart attack last week and today it has sadly been announced by his family that he will be taken off life support.
His son, Dorian Angelo Santolla, broke the news via Facebook: "We are going to take my father off of assisted living on Wednesday. If any of his friends would like to say goodbye, the family will welcome you at St. Joseph's tomorrow (Tuesday). He would appreciate the love. Thank you."
Ralph's mother, Sue, revealed that Ralph has some unreleased recordings with his last band, Devil's Highway, that will be revealed soon: "Ralph Santolla in an organ donor so he will live on. Those recipients don't know what they are getting until they suddenly become sarcastic, funny, get tattoos, start playing guitar. One other thing, Devil's Highway was getting close to completion. It will be done and that is a Ralph's legacy."
Although Santolla never recorded with Death, he toured with the legendary death metal act in 1993 and appeared in the group's "The Philosopher" video. He also played in Toxik, Iced Earth, Millenium and more.
