My Chemical Romance drummer Bob Bryar was found dead at his home in Tennessee, at age 44, just two days before Thanksgiving.
At this time, his cause of death has not been made public and it is unknown who found him, according to TMZ.
Per the outlet, his body was 'badly decomposed' when discovered and Animal Control came to the house to take away his two dogs.
Authorities do not suspect 'foul play' as all his 'weapons and music equipment in the home were left untouched.'
Bryar was last seen alive on November 4.
He was the longest tenured and last official drummer for the group as he served as the group's drummer from 2004 to 2010.
