Drummer Jerry Fuchs passed away on Sunday morning after a tragic fall down a Brooklyn elevator shaft.
The accident occurred when Fuchs was attending an invite-only benefit in Williamsburg to raise money for women in India.
According to a Building Department spokesman, Jerry and his friend were in the elevator when it stopped on the fifth floor. Both men attempted the jump down, but Fuchs did not make it due to a piece of clothing that got caught, “sending him swinging back into the crevice separating the elevator from the fifth floor.”
Fuchs, who was only 34, was the beloved drummer for indie bands such as !!!, The Juan MacLean, Maserati, Vineland and Turing Machine.
He is survived by his parents, a brother and two sisters.
Our thoughts are with them.
