Weird...last week he's suing for back royalties, now he's dead...I hope this isn't about the legal stuff that was going on...

"We are all deeply saddened by this tragedy. We will miss Jay as we remember him -- as a truly unique and gifted human being and one who made welcome and significant contributions to the band's songs and evolution. Our thoughts go out to his family and friends in this very difficult time."
