23. Nick Menza
The most recent passing occurred just last week. Former drummer of the thrash metal band Megadeth, Nick Menza passed away on the 21st of May. Doctors say the musician had a “massive heart attack” while performing with his current band, OHM at the Baked Potato in Los Angeles.
His former bandmates were shocked to hear the news of Menza’s death. Menza played on Megadeth’s first four albums. Megadeth founder Dave Mustaine tweeted to his followers, “TELL ME THIS ISN’T TRUE! I woke up at 4 AM to hear Nick Menza passed away on 5/21 playing his drums w/ Ohm at the Baked Potato #nickmenzarip.”
Other members of the band spoke out about Menza, sharing what a talented drummer he was but also a loving friend and father.
The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner said that Menza’s heart attack and ultimately death was caused by cardiovascular disease. Unfortunately, Menza was pronounced dead upon arrival to the hospital.
