Hawthorne Heights guitarist dies

Hawthorne Heights have posted the following statement in regards to the death of their guitarist Casey Calvert:

"Today is probably the worst day ever. Its with our deepest

regrets that we have to write this. Casey Calvert passed away in his

sleep last night. We found out this afternoon before sound-check. We've

spent the entire day trying to come to grips with this and figure out

as much as possible. At this time we're not sure what exactly happened.

Just last night he was joking around with everyone before he went to

bed. We can say with absolute certainty that he was not doing anything

illegal. Please, out of respect to Casey and his family, don't

contribute or succumb to any gossip you may hear. We don't want his

memory to be tainted in the least. Casey was our best friend. He was

quirky and awesome and there will truly be no others like him! His loss

is unexplainable. As soon as we know more we will let you know.
