One restrains laughter, jokes and Darwin Award comments, should one unintentionally invite bad karma back on towards one's self at the curiosity of the manner of another's freak death.

My, what a horrible way to go. R.I.P.

Drugs or alcohol likely involved...... IMHO

He’s not one of the A-B-B-A-’s in ABBA. Probably just some session guy, with ABBA at the top of his resume. More’s the pity.

Apparently, he wasn’t one of the four ABBA members, but the drummer for them.

He is reported to have drummed on every Abba album.

I learned from Spinal Tap that the drummer is always the first to go.

Because then it would’ve been ABBBA, and that’s just silly.
