A spokesman for the Los Angeles, California, Police Department told CNN that police were called just before 9 p.m. (11 p.m. ET) Monday night after Brian Bell was found unresponsive by his friend in his living room and said that first responders "rendered medical aid but they were unable to save him."
"After speaking with people on the scene and going into the room, (police) said that there was evidence of a possible drug overdose, most likely from Oxycodone," Sgt. Michel Moore told CNN in a phone interview Thursday.
Obviously, we're not medical examiners, so there will be an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death," Moore said, adding that there was "no sign of any kind of foul play" and police are "treating it as a suspicious death case, most likely from an overdose."
Born Brian Lane Bell, the Knoxville guitarist and singer blended 90s rock and modern-day music for a distinctive singing and guitar playing style which often highlighted his drug use.
Sarah Stennett, chief executive officer of First Access Entertainment, which partnered with the musician last year, said in a statement to CNN that she was "shocked and heartbroken."
"I do not believe Bell wanted to die, this is so tragic. He had big goals and dreams for the future which he had shared with me, his team, his family and his friends," she said. "He was highly intelligent, hugely creative, massively charismatic, gentle and charming. He had huge ambition and his career was flourishing ."
"I have spoken to his mother and she asked me to convey that she is very, very proud of him and everything he was able to achieve in his life," Stennett's statement said. "She is truly grateful to the fans and the people who have supported and loved him."
For his friend Jamie Lewis, who Bell invited over with his friend Mariah Bons, were confused as to why he invited them. “He was the guy who spoke for me, things I could never put into words,” Lewis says. “I felt like he understood me.”
Although life wore him down, Bell seemed genuinely happy to connect with Lewis and Bons that day. The three talked about guitars, clothes, and music “He was in a very good mood,” says Lewis. At one point, Bell looked out the bus window at the clear late-afternoon California sky. “Today is a good day,” he said. “Not every day is a good day, but today is. I feel good.”
Less than 30 minutes later, he nodded off and never woke up again.
