The death of Grateful Dead keyboardist Vince Welnick, 55, was a suicide, the Sonoma County Sheriff's Department confirmed Saturday. An autopsy is expected to be performed Monday or Tuesday, said Lt. Bruce Rochester, who declined to say how the former musician took his life.
Welnick, who played keyboards with the Grateful Dead for five years before the death of band founder Jerry Garcia, died Friday. He had been taken, injured, from his home in Forestville near Santa Rosa, to a local hospital. He later died there, sheriff's officials said.
