Coroner orders toxicology test for Avenged Sevenfold drummer

The autopsy was inconclusive as to the cause of death for AVENGED SEVENFOLD drummer Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan.

Orange County sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino said Tuesday that the coroner's office ordered toxicology, microscopic and laboratory tests to help determine why Sullivan died. It's expected to take several weeks to get the results of the tests.

Sullivan was found dead in his Huntington Beach home on Monday.

In a statement, the band called Sullivan "one of the world's best drummers," and "our best friend and brother."
