> [@Stephe96](#): > > Assuming this isn’t another Jerry Lee Lewis dead or alive? situation, someone might have just won some serious points: Yeah, it is confirmed he is dead. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of him, but I clearly was not the target audience for him when he was doing well. Drowned in a bathtub. Must have passed out or something. History of abuse issues. ---
