James Owen Sullivan, 28, who went by the stage name The Rev, appears to have died of natural causes.

HUNTINGTON BEACH, California -- Police say James Owen Sullivan, a drummer and backup vocalist for the Southern California band Avenged Sevenfold, has been found dead at his home in Southern California.

Lt. John Domingo says the 28-year-old Sullivan, who went by the stage name The Rev, appears to have died of natural causes on Monday in Huntington Beach.

The band released a statement Monday expressing their sadness and calling Sullivan "one of the world's best drummers," and "our best friend and brother."

Funny how many of these guys are just like that. Living in a huge house in the suburbs, nothing to worry about, world at their feet. Yet, they make their own problems (in their minds), to cope, they turn to drugs.  ::)

Do you have any idea how easy it is for some human beings to make money? Its as easy as getting up out of bed for some...Steve Jobs(Billionaire owner of Apple) didn't need a new liver because he lived in a huge house in the suburbs with nothing to worry about and had the world at his feet...

Although take it with a grain of salt because I'm a HUGE gordiano fan... :D

I believe the operative word in the police report is "appears."
He's only said to "appears to have died of natural causes."

Meaning that if he snorted a line of coke that circled the earth 75 times, and died of a massive heart attack, laying at home on the floor....that would appear that he just curled up and died, would it not?

But if he had been robbed and bludgeoned to death, that would certainly NOT appear to have been a natural cause of death.

Believe it or not he is a conservative just like the rest of that band Joe,  they share your same political views.  They borderline can't shut up about sometimes. 

Avenged Sevenfold have a handful of really good songs,  I think their guitar players work really well together.
