Damn, isn't this the second member of Loudness to die this year? That's crazy.

Hm...self-sustained injuries? intentional or no? Sad either way......Definitely a great bass player, never met him so I can't say much about his personality but if he did it on purpose, over the flight incidents...that's very unfortunate.

Yeah, it was self-sustained. He tried to hang himself in his cell.

Shouldn't that be 'self-inflicted' then? I'm pretty sure 'self-sustained' would be 'keeping yourself alive'.

Don't know much about him myself but from what I've gotten from others he had a history of drug abuse though he was supposed to have gone clean.

Many seem really sad because they had thought that those concerts were a sign he had changed his life around for the better but it looks like he had much further to go and unfortunately now doesn't have that option anymore.

What was meant by:

Quote:
A incident with female passenger and a female flight attendant


Also, it's "an incident".
