HUNTINGTON BEACH — An autopsy was pending today on the body of 28-year-old Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan, the drummer for the hard rock band Avenged Sevenfold, following his sudden death.

Sullivan was found unresponsive Monday at his Huntington Beach home, authorities said.“It appeared to be natural causes,” said Lt. John Domingo of the Huntington Beach Police Department. “It's a coroner's case.”“The decedent is a 28-year-old male discovered unresponsive inside of his residence,” the Coroner's Department stated on its Web site. It said that an “investigation is ongoing.”Avenged Sevenfold issued a statement on its Web site Monday.“It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we tell you of the passing today of Jimmy `The Rev' Sullivan,” the statement said.“Jimmy was not only one of the world's best drummers, but more importantly he was our best friend and brother. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jimmy's family and we hope you will respect their privacy during this difficult time.”Sullivan is survived by his wife, Leana MacFadden.By this morning, a Facebook page for Avenged Sevenfold had received almost 5,000 comments in response to a posting about Sullivan's death.

What a shame. Wasn't the biggest fan of the band's, but his drumming was insane.

I'm very surprised that this band made the news.

i'm not, they are pretty damn popular, their 2 newer albums are really good, not to mention he was a world class drummer

This was my favorite band, and i was very sad when i heard the news.

i wonder what the rest of the band will do, new drummer? break up? change name? i hope they continue to put out music, but i will miss the Rev's screaming and his sick and twisted songs like "a little piece of heaven"

I take it you're not around people who listen to rock very much?

Maybe it's a regional thing because they're huge around here.
