Rockstar Bob Bryar has trgaiically been found dead at his home in Tennessee.

He posted a series of tweets on his account on November 5, while deleting all of his other posts, and three weeks later on Tuesday (Novermber 26), he was found dead at his Tennessee home, according to TMZ.
While investigations into his death are still ongoing, it is thought that he died by way of suicide around November 5 - with him last being seen by anyone on November 4.
TMZ's report added that there was no sign of foul play and all musical instruments at his home were left untouched, while animal control visited the property to recover his two dogs.
Bryar retired from drumming in 2014, but a year later expressed an interest in returning.

He was the drummer for My Chemical Romance between 2004 and 2010.
Following his departure in 2010, the band released the following statement on social media: "As of 4 weeks ago, My Chemical Romance and Bob Bryar parted ways.
"This was a painful decision for all of us to make and was not taken lightly, we wish him the best of luck in his future endeavours and expect you all to do the same."

My Chemical Romance are set to go on tour again next year.
Taking to Twitter on November 5, the day of the US presidential election, Bryar - who wore a 'Make America Great Again' in his profile picture - honored Bennington, who died by way of suicide in 2017.
“Emily Armstrong is destroying, shredding faces and making Chester proud,” he wrote.

“She was the perfect choice. AND she had to deal with the initial hate. that s–t is hard. trust me. word up.”
He went on to send two other cryptic tweets, his penultimate post read 'MEGYN' while his last was 'TULSI' - completely bewildering fans, but a detective in the comments replied with what could just be the answer.
"It's the name of a journalist and tulsi is that of a republican representative, I just saw it on Google," they answered.
If that's the case, the tweets were a nod to Tulsi Gabbard, a former congresswoman who sat on the side of the Democrats before switching to the Republican Party in order to back Donald Trump during his campaign.

MEGYN is thought to refer to media personality and political commentator Megyn Kelly.
