My Chemical Romance drummer Bob Bryar has died at the age of 44.

Mr. Bryar who was the drummer of the band between 2004 and 2010 was found dead in his Tennessee home on Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving.

He was last seen alive earlier this month on November 4.

According to TMZ, the death is not being treated as suspicious.

A medical examiner is currently investigating the cause of death.

Mr. Bryar first met My Chemical Romance while touring with The Used in 2004 and he officially replaced their original drummer Matt Pelissier shortly after the release of their 2004 album Cheers For Sweet Revenge.

He played the drums on MCR’s 2006 hit album The Black Parade and was credited as a songwriter on their 2010 record Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys.

He left the band to work with other groups before quitting the music industry to pursue a career in real estate.

Mr. Bryar was MCR’s longest-serving drummer.
