Bob Bryar, the former drummer for My Chemical Romance, has died at 44 years old.
Bryar was found dead in his Tennessee home on November 26th. While a cause of death has not been made public, foul play is not suspected as authorities have reported that Bryar’s “weapons and music equipment in the home were left untouched”.
According to TMZ, it is unknown who found Bryar, but his body was discovered “badly decomposed”. Animal Control was on the scene to take away Bryar’s two dogs.
The drummer was last seen alive on November 4th, which is also when he posted his final post to X complimenting Linkin Park’s newest addition, Emily Armstrong.
