Trevor Strnad, popularly known for being the vocalist and frontman of the famed melodic death metal band The Black Dahlia Murder, has passed away at the age of 41.
The band took to their official Instagram account to share the tragic news to fans, writing, "It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Trevor Scott Strnad."
The group noted that Trevor was a good person, and the people he met in the past loved him.
In addition, the vocalist was described as "a walking encyclopedia of all things music" as he is knowledgeable about tracks, lyrics, and more.
"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," the statement continues.
As of this writing, none of his family members or bandmates have shared an official cause of death; however, the band provided a National Suicide Prevention Lifeline number at the end of their post, suggesting that he took his life.
According to NME, Trevor was among the original and founding members of The Black Dahlia Murder. The band's name came from the unsolved murder of Elizabeth Short in 1947.
