Guitarist Jeff Hanneman, founding member of heavy metal's Slayer, dies

Grammy-winning guitarist Jeff Hanneman, a founding member of the heavy metal band Slayer, died Thursday of liver failure in Southern California, the band said in a statement.

He was 49.

"Slayer is devastated to inform that their bandmate and brother, Jeff Hanneman, passed away at about 11 a.m. this morning near his Southern California home. Hanneman was in an area hospital when he suffered liver failure," the band said in a statement posted on its website and Facebook page.

Hanneman leaves behind his wife, Kathy, a sister and two brothers.

"He ... will be sorely missed," the band said.

Died of liver failure. At age 49.

Alcohol? Drugs?

Abusing either will trash the liver.

Probably both.

He was also hospitalized for a poisonous spider bite in 2011 and never really recovered.

This guy is a pretty awesome drummer.  The other one I follow on YouTube is Sy Thomas.
