OMG!!!!!! i can't believe this! why does this always happen to banda i like. when i went to their concert this past summer in hartfoed, ct. Bayside was supposed to go but didn't because they got into an accident and their drummer died. he was hott too! again i ask Y?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! R.I.P man, R.I.P!
42 - Joe
Yes, this is a tragic thing to hear that someone has passed on, but for instance what if you died and some celebrity was watching it on the news do you actually believe that they would care to the slightest degree? Ha! to them everyone in the world besides friends/family/ect. are just another statistic in the born/death ratio. You are just another fan or statistic to add to their wealth and succession. Don't get me wrong though I do understand the need to mourn, but try thinking logically once in awhile.
43 - Tyler
I love Hawthorne Heights!! Hopefully yall will make it to through this tragedy!!! Your greatly missed Casey!!

Casey was a gifted guitarists.The police would have mentioned a massive amount of blood from cutting, or needles from a heroin OD. You guys need to stop and think for a second. He probably died from a PE or a heart arrhythmia. When Sean Taylor (RIP) was shot they didnt say "why he is bleeding is forth-coming...." because blood+tiny hole=bullet wound to leg. It was most likely a lung or heart issue. So coon, stop hating on Casey. He was a good man, musician, and friend.

To be honest, I didn't like their music the SLIGHTEST bit. Not once did I leave the channel be on the radio when they would come on. But it's music. Who cares if they're "emo" or whatever you want to call it. I personally like punk/ska. But music is music, and people like all different kinds. Their music might seem depressing, but people all around might be relating to it. And it doesn't mean they're "emo" for it. They might be going through what they're singing about for like a month or two. And then another one shows up with those same problems. They might be being emotional for a short time, but everyone goes through that. They might think it's cool and call themselves "emo". Who knows. But point is, it's just music. If people like it, don't criticize it. Especially if that band just lost someone so close. You ignorant fools are using their music against something that came into their lives so unexpectedly. Stop saying stupid shit like "Oh he probably cut his wrists" blah blah blah. How disrespectful. You guys wonder why this world is the way it is... You guys wonder why there is so much war. There's your answer. No it might not be the whole cause, but it adds up to everything. Stop being immature and hurtful. Bring in the peace. Help others when their hurting, no matter what choices they make, or what style they have. No matter how different they are, they're hurting.
Rest In -PEACE- Casey.
Hawthorne Heights,
I'm so sorry for you boys. I truly am. I know what it feels like to lose a close friend. It hurts so much and every day I cry about it. Yeah, I didn't know Casey at all, haha, but I know for a fact that if he was such a close friend to you guys, he would want you guys to move on with life, never forget him, bring more peace into as many lives as you can, and be HAPPY<3 I love you boys. I do. I'm sorry that I'm not your biggest fan, but it's only music. And I do love YOU.

... I was thinking, 26 years olds don't just die in there sleep...
But gosh, this is so sad, my favirote band, those incredible riffs he played cheered me up a treat when i felt down, R.I.P man.
Greatest simpathy to other band members, friends and family.
So sad :(

Really good band, listened to em all the time. Still do, just not gonna be the same anymore though... Sorry for the loss guys, Stay strong!
52 - Matt
With all due respect to Casey...EMO's label themselves and cut themselves for attention purposes only...not "because of other people". It's a lifestyle they CHOOSE. Most of them have no reason to even be "emo", they're mostly rich, spoiled little brats that aren't getting enough attention.
53 - Seriously.
Wise up much?
First off, yeah, he died, it's really tragic and sad and we're all very sorry, but don't be taking the michael, like.
Leave him be.
(And spell his name right? Casey? Not Kasey?)
Secondly, 'emo', 'wrist-cutting', 'John 3:16' (okay that last one was for lulz, I like the Bible), please do us all a favour and wise up?
Much?
'Kay, cheers. =]

Hawthorne heights guitar is a big part of the reason they make kids less depressed.
I'm really sad to see Casey go and I'll always love the band for the gift they've given kids.
