David Gold of the Canadian metal band Woods of Ypres.

http://exclaim.ca/News/woods_of_ypres_singer_david_gold_dies_at_31

Actually used to work with him years ago, back when he was first putting his band together. Hadn't seen him in a few years. Very funny, intelligent, talented and passionate guy. A terrible loss.

Dr Morbois de Bologne (Dr Morbius), Friday, 6 January 2012 06:03 (twelve years ago) link

Didn't know which one Mr. Sefelt was, but when I saw that he was in The Hustler, I figured out who he was.

Never heard of him before, but I'm not sure he would have wanted to be remembered this way: 'Snakes on a Plane' director David R. Ellis dies

He also wanted to call Shark Night Untitled 3D Shark Thriller which would have been better.
