Always come three at a time, don't they? :( Surely can't be suicide? Shocking.

EDIT: Appears to have been a drug overdose, sadly.

Wow sad news. What is going on with all of the deaths in rock music over the past few months? My prayers go out to his family and the rest of the band :(

You guys are forgetting the more recent death of Peter Steele. That's your three: Peter, Ronnie, and Paul.

Very sad to read of Paul's death. :(
