Wir berichteten kürzlich vom Tod des Gwar-Frontmanns Dave Brockie, besser bekannt als Oderus Urungus.
Nun veröffentlichte der Gwar-Manager Jack Flanagan ein Statement dazu:
“It is with a saddened heart that I confirm my dear friend Dave Brockie, artist, musician, and lead singer of GWAR, passed away at approximately 6:50 p.m. EST Sunday, March 23, 2014. His body was found Sunday by his bandmate at his home in Richmond, Virginia. Richmond authorities have confirmed his death and next of kin has been notified. A full autopsy will be performed. He was 50 years old, born August 30, 1963.
My main focus right now is to look after my bandmates and his family.
More information regarding his death shall be released as the details are confirmed.”
In einem Statement sagte die Polizeisprecherin Dionne Waugh von der Richmond Police: “At approximately 6:53 p.m. on Sunday, Richmond Police were called to a residence in the 4800 block of West Seminary Avenue for a report of a deceased individual. When officers arrived, they found David M. Brockie, 50, deceased inside the home. Detectives do not suspect foul play at this time and the Medical Examiner’s Office will determine cause of death.”
Dave Brockie ist nicht das erste Mitglied von Gwar das in jungen Jahren stirbt. Gwar-Gitarrist Cory Smoot, der auch als Flattus Maximus bekannt war, wurde am 3. November 2011 im Band-Tourbus tot aufgefunden. Er wurde 34 Jahre alt.
