Avenged Sevenfold Drummer "The Rev" Dead

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 Orange County coroner's office is investigating the death.

Avenged Sevenfold formed in Huntington Beach in 1999 and won Best New Artist at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2006. According to their MySpace page, the five-man metalcore band was working on their fifth album.

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."

He wasn't one of the world's best drummers, at all.

He also had a penchant for drugs, lots of drugs. So, he kinda dug his own grave if that's how he died.

You did not know people that die are the best at whatever they did while alive? And they were also always great people who were doing the right things at all times...Cmon AC, its a well known fact ;P.

Waits for somebody to call him a "legend"...

On a side note : Huntington Beach is a shit-hole.

28 is no age to go, not a fan of AX7 in the slightest (but don't detest 'em) but still I don't wish death on them.
