There's sad news to report as After the Burial guitarist Justin Lowe was found dead in Wisconsin Tuesday night (July 21).

For those who haven't been following the story, Lowe exited the band recently with a very disturbing announcement. He offered a conspiracy-filled rant on his reasons for leaving that included a series of events involving the alleged sabotage of his computer, a set up that included the staging of a friend's death and allegations of drugs, abuse and sexual impropriety. The band held off on commenting a couple of days, revealing that the musician had actually gone missing and that he was in a broken state of mind and that they feared any statement might inhibit the search to find him.

Over the weekend, Lowe's sister began posting that her brother had once again gone missing. According to RiverTowns.net, the story sadly came to its conclusion Tuesday night when a hiker discovered Lowe's body beneath the Arcola High Bridge near Somerset, Wis. Lowe's vehicle had been found on the Minnesota side of the bridge, which had been the primary focus of the initial search.

Authorities believe that the cause of his death was consistent with a fall. The guitarist was 32 years old. Our condolences go out to his family, friends and bandmates.
