A cause of death is yet to be officially announced.

"I will always love you, Sean. With every fibre of my being x," said Agnes Manner's Matt Gravolin in a post to Instagram.  

I Killed The Prom Queen are yet to release an official statement, with vocalist Michael Crafter sharing a post to his own Instagram saying, "For years we stood side by side on stage or in band photos. We slept on floors, in vans, planes and some how managed to tour the world. 

"Time went way to fast. We experienced highs and lows on the road and after all we went through, you will always be my friend. As the years passed us by I’m glad we’ve always been there for each other."
