Some very sad shocking news coming out of Washington DC tonight. Before going to do their sound check today, the members of Hawthorne Heights found their fellow member and friend Casey Calvert dead. Cause of death hasn't been determined or released yet however you can read the band's statement I've provided below.
"Today is probably the worst day ever. Its with our deepest regrets that we have to write this. Casey Calvert passed away in his sleep last night. We found out this afternoon before sound-check. We've spent the entire day trying to come to grips with this and figure out as much as possible. At this time we're not sure what exactly happened. Just last night he was joking around with everyone before he went to bed. We can say with absolute certainty that he was not doing anything illegal. Please, out of respect to Casey and his family, don't contribute or succumb to any gossip you may hear. We don't want his memory to be tainted in the least. Casey was our best friend. He was quirky and awesome and there will truly be no others like him! His loss is unexplainable. As soon as we know more we will let you know. Sincerely, Hawthorne Heights Eron, JT, Micah and Mat
This is some extremely sad news. These guys certainly weren't the best band by any means however they were absolutely incredible people. My thoughts and prayers go out to Casey, his family, friends, and everyone in Hawthorne Heights.
