The Black Dahlia Murder Singer Trevor Strnad Dead At 41

The Black Dahlia Murder singer Trevor Strnad passed away at age 41.

The band announced his death on the band's Instagram and Facebook social media pages. Although a cause of death was not listed by the late singer, the band did list the number for the suicide prevention hotline. At this time, it is unclear whether Strnad did take his own life. Earlier this month, singer Naomi Judd of "The Judds" also took her life the day before she was scheduled to be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame with her daughter, Wynonna.

In a brief statement posted to their social media accounts, the band wrote, “It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Trevor Scott Strnad. Beloved son, brother, and Shepard of good times, he was loved by all that met him.”

They called him “a walking encyclopedia of all things music. He was a hugger, a writer, and truly one of the world’s greatest entertainers. His lyrics provided the world with stories and spells and horror and whimsy. It was his life to be your show.”

They also included the phone number to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.

Band Visions of Disfigurement commented, “Rest in peace Trevor, thank you for all the incredible music over the years.”

Vocalist Conor Owen Peek added, “Awful news. TBDM was one of the first heavier bands I got into as a teenager. Rest In Peace Trevor.”

The band ANALEPSY wrote, “Rest in peace, LEGEND.”

The band Conquer Divide commented, “Absolutely heartbreaking.”

Stephen Arango wrote, “This is truly a huge loss. Such an amazing big hearted warm person that genuinely cared of his fans & friends . Will be forever missed . Love you brother & hope you Rest In Peace . So sorry for your loss.”

Former Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy tweeted, "Absolutely shocked to hear of the passing of @TrevorTBDM of @bdmmetal?

Metal Allegiance tweeted, "RIP to our beloved brother Trevor Strnad. We are at a loss for words." They also included the number of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.

Grammy-nominated vocalist Jamey Jasta tweeted, "RIP Trevor Strnad, you’ll be missed dearly, my deepest condolences to TDBM, his family, friends & fans. Thanks for all the laughs, the stories, the music, & so much more. ❤️❤️❤️"
