Drowning Pool Singer Found Dead: Band Statement
ellen_dis by ellen_dis August 16th, 2002
Dave Williams, 30 year old front man of Dallas quartet Drowning Pool was found dead in the band’s Ozzfest tour bus on Wednesday 14 August. The cause of death is yet to be determined.

Surviving members C.J. Pierce, Stevie Benton, and Mike Luce have issued the following statement:

"We lost a band-mate and a best friend today. Dave Williams was one of a kind, and a friend to everyone he met. He was a good man, and a giving person. Not a day went by when he wasn't giving somebody a little present, and touching everyone around him with his passion. He was full of energy until the day he passed, and undeniably full of life. To the end, we were having a great time. We will miss him".

For up-to-date information on this tragedy visit the Drowning Pool website

Our condolences go to Dave’s friends and family.
