After The Burial’s Justin Lowe found dead

In some very sad news today, After The Burial's guitarist Justin Lowe has been found dead.

In some very sad news today, After The Burial's guitarist Justin Lowe has been found dead.

The 32 year old's body was found in Somerset, Wisconsin. Lowe’s death is now the tragic conclusion of the guitarist's life over the past month or so, with the musician taking to social media previously with some rather unsettling and disturbing statements made about a supposed conspiracy against him from his bandmates and record label. He was reported missing by a family member on the 18th, and now the worst case has unfortunately come to be true.

Foul play has been ruled out by local authorities, the death has reportedly been concluded as from a severe fall.

Since the news hit the Internet overnight, peers and fans from all over the metal community have had an outpouring of support for the band and for Lowe's family.

Our thoughts and condolences go out to his remaining bandmates, his friends and his family during this terrible time.
