The Press Enterprise, Bloody-Disgusting, and several other website are reporting that Suicide Silence front man Mitch Lucker has passed away. PE.com reports:
Mitch Lucker, singer for the Riverside heavy metal band Suicide Silence, died Thursday morning, Nov. 1, after being in a motorcycle crash Wednesday night in Huntington Beach. The Orange County coroner’s office said Lucker was pronounced dead at 6:17 a.m. Thursday at UCI Medical Center in Orange County.

Coroner’s officials said Lucker was hospitalized after a motorcycle accident shortly before 9 p.m. Wednesday. Huntington Beach police were investigating the crash and expected to release details Thursday morning.
The band's main website has been down today, presumably due to high traffic. The band's label has now also released this news:

"NUCLEAR BLAST would like to offer our condolences to his family, friends, band members and fans worldwide who are affected by this loss.
"He left us doing what he loved to do most. He was 28 years old and will be sorely missed.

Definitely bro. But yea man it's alright around my area. It's weird, I never lost power at my place. While thousands of people around the island are suffering, I was kinda sitting at my place going "This is it?" lol
A lot of people still don't have power and gas is starting to run out cause they can't get shipments out this far. It's retarded. It'll all mellow out by the end of the week hopefully, thanks for the concern dude. Appreciated. =]

Absolutely gutted!! Massive fan and you will be sorely missed Mitch. Saw them in London and enjoyed a beer with him. Even more proud now of my SS tattoo. You have helped me through my life Mitch with your vocals just so sad that yours has been cut so short. R.I.P Mitch. You'll be missed!
I'm not a huge fan of suicide silence, but this is very sad...my condolences to the friends, family, band and fans...28 is way too young to leave the planet....its like the quote in say in lord of the rings "What a sad world is this, where the old linger and the young perish"....hope all MU members in the Northeast are doing okay after sandy
Damn.. I really wanted Suicide Silence to come to Korea and show great performance.. But it became an impossible dream.. RIP Mitch Lucker. My deepest condolences to Suicide Silence, Mitch's friends, family.. I'm gonna listen to the music of SS all day long today..

BEST NEW SCREAMER BAND... BLAME IT ON GOD!!! WAKE UP MUTHAFOCKERS!!! YOU SHOULD ALL JUST BE FANS ANYWAYS IF YOU EVER WERE REAL METAL FANS!!! I HATE
LAME POSTS "NOT A FAN BUT..." LAME!!! LISTEN TO SS SUPER LOUD AND LET YOURSELF GO CRAZY AND SAY "NOT A FAN"!!! GO TO HELL!!!
Some time ago, I shared a picture of Mitch on stage. His little girl walked on stage because she wanted Daddy to hold her. So in front of a crowd of hundreds, Mitch picked her up and kissed her. The crowd cheered, she was probably confused but even in that photo, you could tell he loved her. He loved life. Its a shame that a man like him died, regardless of whether or not you're a fan, he lived like the rest of us and died too soon.
