heres the reason he died:

Contrary to speculation, Drowning Pool singer Dave Williams died from natural causes, according to a coroner's toxicology report.

It was concluded last Friday that the 30-year-old singer died from cardiomyopathy, a disease of the heart


muscle, the report said. Williams' condition, concentric left ventricular hypertrophy, prevents blood flow from the left ventricle to the right. Williams was never diagnosed with the disease, the cause of which is unknown.

The report also states nasal swabs showed no traces of cocaine and the drug was not found in his system.

The Dallas-based Drowning Pool were on tour with Ozzfest when Williams' body was discovered on their tour bus in Manassas, Virginia, on August 14 (see "Drowning Pool's Williams Remembered As One Of Rock's Nicest").

A public funeral was held August 18 in Plano, Texas, and plans for a DVD chronicling Williams' life is in the works (see "Drowning Pool Fans Asked To Contribute To Memorial DVD").

This report is from MTV News

Well, this is good news. Sort of. I'm glad that he was not "just another victim" to drugs. Sorry to hear that he had a bum ticker though. Everything I've read about him since his death, it seems as though he truly was a rather personable guy, and didn't suffer from LSD (Lead Singer's Disease), unlike David Lee Roth et al.

RIP Dave Williams....thanks for your contributions to the music world.
