As we previously reported, the metalcore drummer best known as The Rev died Dec. 28 and the autopsy has only produced more questions. On Monday, Sullivan's family issued this message:
MESSAGE FROM THE SULLIVAN FAMILY
We would like to thank all of Jimmy's fans for the heartfelt comments that have been posted – it is comforting to know that his genius and antics were appreciated and that he was loved so much. Our hearts are broken – he was much too young to fall.
February 9, 1981 – December 28, 2009
Óg agus saor go deo (forever young and free)
