Sein Ehemann Thomas Snyder veröffentlichte dazu folgendes Statement:

„I’m broken. As many of you now know, my husband Sean passed away last night. Some of you in the inner circle I was able to reach via phone last night and this morning to try to let you know what happened before it spread across social media. For those I couldn’t reach to tell you myself I’m sorry.

I’m still trying to put together the events of the last 24 hours. After coming home from work last night I found Sean unresponsive on the floor, I administered CPR with the assistance of the 911 operator and he was taken to a local hospital via ambulance. There is no cause of death and an autopsy will be performed.

Sean and I just completed our yearly physicals about 3 weeks ago and we were both in good health. Sean did not have any sort of drug abuse issues and I’m still in a state of disbelief. I can’t begin to comprehend how my life and the lives of Seans close friends and family have just been shattered.

That’s about all I’d like to share at this point. It feels strange to even have to make this post over such a private matter but I understand Sean was a public figure and beloved by many around the world. For myself, Seans family and close friends I ask that you please give us time to grieve. The fans he adored so much lost an influence and phenomenal drummer. Some of us lost our Husband, Son, Brother, Uncle and Best Friend […]“

Auch Sean Malone, ehermaliger Bandkollege von Sean Reinert bei Cynic, postete einige Worte:

„I was luckier than most. Complete musical trust — especially between a bassist and a drummer — is a rare and precious thing. Rare, because it’s not something you find by looking for it. Precious, because some may go an entire lifetime without ever having experienced it. But I was luckier than most. Sean offered his trust during every rehearsal, every recording, and every performance we ever did, and it’s likely that I’ll never experience the same again. The truth is that we’re all lucky — lucky to have been alive while Sean Reinert was making music.“

Ruhe in Frieden. Unser tiefstes Beileid gilt allen Angehörigen.

Sean Reinert gründete zusammen mit Sänger Paul Masvidal die Band Cynic. Bis 2015 war er Teil der Band. Anfang der 1990er waren Reinert und Masvidal Teil der Band Death, konzentrierten sich nach einem Album jedoch wieder auf Cynic.

Eine Todesursache wurde bisher nicht bekanntgegeben.
