I'm not sure if any of you are into the band Hawthorne Heights, but I just found out that guitarist Casey Calvert passed away in his sleep. He was only 26 years old. The band posted the following blog on their MySpace profile:

Today is probably the worst day ever. It's 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.

Sincerely

Hawthorne Heights

Eron, JT, Micah and Matt

I wasn't really into the band that much, but this is very sad news.
