Casey Calvert of the band Hawthorne Heights was found dead aboard his tour bus on Saturday just before a sound check in Washington, D.C. He died in his sleep, but the actual cause of death is yet to be determined.

The band said this on their website:

“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.

Sincerely,

Hawthorne Heights

Eron, JT, Micah and Matt“

Another sad post that I don’t care to comment on. Just wanting to give the news of his death, but wish to give the respect he deserves.
