The passing today of Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan great sadness and heavy hearts
Natural causes only rules out murder, it does not verify in any way the manner or reason for death. So,
basically there was no foul play suspected but it leaves a whole other realm of possibilites. Of course the first thing people think of are drugs. Not always the case.
James Owen Sullivan was found dead at his California home on Monday. Huntington Beach police Lt. John Domingo reported that paramedics responded to Sullivan’s home at 1:00 p.m. and they notified police. The Orange County
Coroner’s office is investigating the death.
However when someone dies this young and so suddenly drug abuse does cross
the mind of everyone. Of course we’ll have to wait for the toxocology reports. Losing Jimmy Sullivan is a shame though. He was an amazingly talented drummer and back up singer.
Sullivan also played many different instruments, mostly the piano and guitar, and he used these abilities to write amazing songs such as “A Little Piece of Heaven.”
Sullivan was best known as ‘The Rev’ and drummer for Avenged Sevenfold that was formed in 1999. The five-man group has put out four albums and won Best New Artist at the 2006 MTV Awards.
Back in 2002 Sullivan performed vocals and piano in his and Brian Haner Jr.’s side project, Pinkly Smooth. Before leaving to join Avenged Sevenfold, Sullivan performed with the third wave ska band Suburban Legends as their drummer.
