Paul Hester was always one of my favourite drummers. Never put too much in, managed to add enough to carry his own weight in a 4 piece band (Neil had 2). I always found what he did innovative and interesting (at least in comparison to anything else I've ever heard on a top ten), and sensitive to the rest of the music in the song.
stink.

Maybe I am just being overly nosy, but how did he actually die? The media are saying that he suffered from depression, and where his body was found, but not how he died. I presume suicide, but it is not like the media to hold back like that. Are they being respectful?

Thats a real bloody shame.
I wish I hadn't asked now. Horrid.
