Autopsy Rules Bob Bryar's Cause of Death as 'Undetermined'

The former My Chemical Romance drummer was found deceased in November 2024 with nitrous oxide canisters nearby, but decomposition hindered conclusive findings.

Bob Bryar, former drummer of My Chemical Romance, passed away in November 2024 at the age of 44, with his cause of death recently ruled as 'undetermined' by the Bedford County medical examiner in Tennessee.
The autopsy report revealed that Bryar's body was found near three large nitrous oxide canisters, and antidepressants were also discovered in his home.
Severe decomposition of Bryar's body, along with evidence of animal scavenging, made it difficult for the medical examiner to determine whether the death was accidental or intentional.
Bryar, who joined My Chemical Romance in 2004 and played on their iconic album 'The Black Parade,' left the band in 2010 and later pursued other musical projects and a career in real estate.
The band expressed their condolences in December 2024, honoring Bryar's contributions to their history and offering support to his friends and family.
