The body of All That Remains lead guitarist Oli Herbert, a founding member of the Springfield metalcore band, was reportedly found in a pond at his Stafford Springs, Conn., home on Tuesday.

The late guitarist's publicist told Metal Injection that "Oli Herbert passed away yesterday unexpectedly as a result of an accident which occurred on the property of his home."

TMZ cited law enforcement sources as saying the 44-year-old Herbert's body was found in a pond on his property after he was reported missing. Foul play was not suspected.

All That Remains confirmed Herbert's death on its Facebook page on Wednesday morning.

"We were devastated to learn that Oli Herbert, our friend, guitar player, and founding member of All That Remains, has passed away," the band said in a statement. "Oli was an incredibly talented guitarist and song writer who defined Rock and Metal from the Northeast. His impact on the genres and our lives will continue indefinitely. No further details are available at this time. The band and family request that you please respect their privacy and remember Oli by celebrating the great music he made."

Herbert began playing guitar at 14. His first paid gig was a Battle of the Bands on his final day of his senior year at Longmeadow High School. His band won third place, earning $25.

He made a name for himself in Western Massachusetts clubs with Netherworld, a thrash metal band he formed in 1991, consisting of Lyndros Borcievski of Ware, Jay Barnes of Chicopee, and Steve Ghazil and John Magard, both of Ludlow.

Herbert co-founded All That Remains with frontman Phil Labonte in 1998.

The band played Springfield clubs, like Fat Cat and Mars Nightclub, before being signed to Prosthetic Records, a division of Metal Blade, back in 2002.

All That Remains has released eight studio albums, a live CD/DVD, and have sold more than 1 million records worldwide. The band is scheduled to release a new album, Victim of the New Disease on Nov. 9.

Herbert married his wife, Beth, in 2004.
