The music world is in mourning following the tragic news of the passing of former My Chemical Romance drummer Bob Bryar.
Bryar, 44, was found dead and "badly decomposed" inside his Tennessee home on Friday, November 29, three weeks after he was last seen in public, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The circumstances surrounding the drummer's death remain shrouded in mystery and the exact cause and timing of the rocker's passing are still under investigation.
Bob Bryar joined the band in 2004 following the release of 'Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge'.
According to authorities, there is no sign of foul play, with all of Bryar's weapons and music equipment in the home were left untouched.
Animal Control came to the house after the body was discovered and took two dogs away.
The medical examiner is still investigating the cause and manner of Bryar's death.

The former My Chemical Romance drummer fully supported Emily Armstrong, the new lead singer of Linkin Park, following Bennington's passing in 2017. He commended Armstrong for keeping the legacy of the band's late singer alive through her music, stating she is "making Chester proud".
