"on saturday we were told that our drummer, and more importantly our dear friend Ben took his own life.......we are all devastated.....there are no words..........rest in peace brother.........our hearts are broken and we miss you...", Dead Existence.

Such sad news, if anybody on here ever met Ben they would have known how much of a lovely guy he was, genuine, caring and always positive.

This was shocking to find out. I had chatted to Ben many times, and he was always so nice and friendly and happy. I never, ever, in a million years could have expected something like this. He always seemed like such a lovely chap. A real tragedy. RIP Ben.

Words can't really do justice. Sad news. Didn't know the guy that well but he always struck me, from what I knew of him and what others said of him, as a pretty happy guy and totally sound. Love and support to those close to Ben.

There's an unseen fortune under their belts
Are golden temples a symbol of God's way
This horde of wealth is a sickening display"
