Tyson Curtis Stevens, the frontman of now-defunct post-hardcore outfit Scary Kids Scaring Kids and consequent outfit Coma Prevail, has been found dead at the age of 29.

Alternative Press originally broke the news, citing anonymous sources who told the outlet Stevens' body had been found by his girlfriend, Sabrina Amber, on Tuesday morning (US time). This has now been confirmed in light of her heartfelt in-memoriam post to Stevens' Facebook wall today (AEST) — the first official verification of the singer's passing following a growing response on social media to AP's original news from fans, friends and peers.

Stevens' new band, Coma Prevail, have also confirmed the news on Facebook, saying simply, "Unfortunately the rumours are true," and indicating further details would follow once the family has had sufficient time to grieve.

 

There are no details yet as to the circumstances surrounding Stevens' death, other than that he appears to have passed in his sleep. The singer had celebrated his 29th birthday on September 29.
