He is dead. He shot himself. :(
An update. Apparently he had a degenerative disease and could only use 8 fingers, which must have been terrible for a keyboard player.
Oh my goodness, I am so saddened to hear this. My deepest condolences to his family and friends, including his fellow musicians who worked so closely with him over the years. This is a tremendous loss.
His music lives on though, thank goodness. I hope he will be remembered for all of the good that he brought into the world, rather than for this one final sad incident.

I was beginning to think no-one else here cared. Good to know that at least two of us enjoyed his music. Saw him perform with ELP at Wembley circa 1973.
