Allman Brothers Band drummer Butch Trucks committed suicide in front of his wife, according to multiple media reports.

The Miami Herald, citing a police report, claims that Trucks shot himself in the head with a pistol while his wife of 25-years stood nearby in their West Palm Beach, Florida, condo.   The West Palm Beach Police Department told Fox News "foul play is not suspected, and the case is still under investigation." They referred all further questions to Trucks' publicist who did not return Fox News' requests for comment.

Sorry to hear this about Butch. I have been following this band a long time and heard them many times beginning in 1970. I presume it was intense depression that brought this on but who knows? Sad.

That’s about as selfish as it can get if you ask me.

Brad Delp (lead singer of Boston) also killed himself.

What is it with these rich people? How bad could it be?

Brad’s wife left him, that’s pretty bad. But geez.

Soul-crushing loneliness is an equal-opportunity destroyer?

Consider yourself lucky you haven't found out.

Butch Trucks was a drummer whose style inspired me. Sad to see him come to this end, and for his family.

Yep, suicide is sometimes a vengeful act.
