All That Remains guitarist Oli Herbert died of drowning, his widow has confirmed.<\/p>\n
Herbert was found dead on October 16 near his home in Connecticut. He was 44 years old.<\/p>\n
According to TMZ, police were dispatched to Oli’s Stafford Springs residence after someone reported him missing. Cops searched the area and found Oli in a nearby pond.<\/p>\n
Earlier today, Oli’s wife Beth released a statement via his official Facebook page in which she revealed that her husband drowned after apparently ingesting antidepressant medication and sleeping pills.<\/p>\n
She wrote: “Good morning everyone this is Beth. And indeed it IS a good morning; Toxicology results are back as is the official cause of my husband’s death!<\/p>\n
“Cause of death- Drowning. Toxicology- Oli was apparently self-treating for manic-depression that has run in his family for several generations. Anti-depressants were found in his system, as well as a sleep aid. The psych meds found in his system were the same ones that a close relative has been prescribed for a long time, so he knew what to hunt down for the ‘treatment’. 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.<\/p>\n
“If anybody knows where Oli was getting the psych meds, please call CT State Police, Troop C in Tolland, CT.”<\/p>\n
In the comments section below her original post, Beth offered a possible explanation for how Oli ended up in the pond. “One of the drugs can have a hallucinogenic effect, also restlessness,” she wrote. “Oli kept wanting to go outside that night before he disappeared and he kept walking towards the pond, which is a pitch black part of our property as well as very slippery. Add to that fact that it was raining that evening. Apparently he left the house after I went to bed so I couldn’t stop him and bring him back inside.”<\/p>\n
Herbert began playing guitar at 14. He co-founded Aall That Remains with frontman Phil Labonte in 1998.<\/p>\n
All That Remains has released nine studio albums, a live CD\/DVD, and has sold more than one million records worldwide. The band’s new LP, “Victim Of The New Disease”, arrived on November 9.<\/p>\n
