The cause of death for All That Remains guitarist Oli Herbert has been revealed. According to a post on his Facebook page by his widow Beth , the 44-year-old musician died of drowning, and had anti-depressants and a sleep aid in his system at the time.
"Oli was apparently self-treating for manic-depression that has run in his family for several generations," Beth writes.
She continues, "Seeing how he was not going (and WOULDN'T GO) to a doctor to get diagnosed with the issue and was not being prescribed the medications and monitored on them, it explains his occasional erratic behavior here at home."
Beth also explains that the planned public memorial for Herbert, which was scheduled for this past weekend in Worcester, Massachusetts before being canceled, was scrapped due to "concern for my personal safety and home due to numerous threats to both."
Last Friday, All That Remains released a new album called Victim of the New Disease , which was Herbert's final contribution to the band before his death in October. Guitarist Jason Richardson will fill in for Herbert on All That Remains' upcoming European tour, set off kick off in December.
