And the cause of death has been determined.

On October 26th, Bruce Springsteen's cousin and assistant road manager Lenny Sullivan was found dead while touring with the E Street Band in Kansas City.

He was found at the Intercontinental Hotel not long before Bruce had to hit the stage, prompting The Boss to cancel his show. The death was ruled accidental due to “acute amphetamine and heroin intoxication.”

A statement on Springsteen's website reads, "Lenny Sullivan, Bruce's cousin and the assistant road manager of the E Street Band for the last 10 years, passed away today at the age of 36. A warm and sensitive person, he was beloved by Bruce, the Band, the crew, and the entire Thrill Hill family."

Sad. Sad.

      Mario you were the first to know. I was there and we partied in the courtyard where Bruce was to play. He did not due to the death. At that time it was not known how he died. I live 5 minutes from that Hotel. And there was never a another word said about it. He said he would be back to do another concert. But you were notified. Cheers!

      And this is very sad! Prayers to Boss and his family.
