 According to Alternative Press, AVENGED SEVENFOLD's THE REV died of an accidental overdose according to the Coroner's report: "The cause of death has been determined in the case of Avenged Sevenfold drummer James "The Rev" Sullivan, who died in his Huntington Beach, California, home on Dec. 28 at the age of 28. Orange County Deputy Coroner Mitchell Sigal said that Sullivan died of an accidental overdose of prescription drugs and alcohol. Toxicology reports say he suffered "acute polydrug intoxication due to combined effects of Oxycodone, Oxymorphone, Diazepam/Nordiazepam and ethanol." Oxycodone and Oxymorphone are pain killers and Diazepam/Nordiazepam are anxiety medications. Ethanol is found in alcohol. Sigal also reported that Sullivan suffered from an enlarged heart which may also have contributed to his death." AP have also reported that Dream Theater's drummer Mike Portnoy, recorded with Avenged Sevenfold for their upcoming album 'Nightmare', and will be touring with the band as well through the year. 'Nightmare' is Avenged Sevenfold's fifth studio album and will be released (NZ) on July 26th, 2010. Listen to the title-track 'Nightmare' below...  |
