The band posted the following note on their website:

Found an article online: www.wsbtv.com/news/18585317/detail.htmlHe may have died of a heart attack but they won't be sure until autopsy. My college roommate senior year turned me on to Lynyrd Skynyrd. (Her name was actually Linda Louise, so naturally she was known to us as "Linda Lou"). Many happy memories from that year, so I am sad to hear of the loss of one more member of that band.
