Answer 1

ATKINSON, N.H. -- Police released new information on Wednesday night about the death of former Boston lead singer Brad Delp.

Earlier in the day, Delp's family had released a statement that said the 55-year-old's death in his Atkinson home on Friday was the result of suicide.

The first officer at the scene, Atkinson police Lt. William Baldwin, said that Delp's fiancee, Pamela Sullivan, was outside the home and frantic when he arrived.


Sullivan had spent the previous night with friends and went to the home after calling and getting no response from Delp.

Baldwin immediately discovered that the rock star left notes to guide and protect emergency workers.

"We found a note on the door in the garage which led into the house, and we found another note on his bedroom door, 'caution carbon monoxide,' and then there was a little statement on there. We went looking for him. We didn't see him at first," said Baldwin.

Baldwin said that Delp had placed towels under the bedroom door and the door of the master bathroom where he took his own life by carbon monoxide poisoning.

"In the bathroom where he was located there were two charcoal grills that were in the shower that were smoldering slightly," said Baldwin.

Baldwin said he did not know why Delp took his life.

Neighbors and friends have said that he seemed to have so much going for him.

Delp was planning a summertime wedding to his fiancee. He played in a popular Beatles tribute band called Beatlejuice and he was rehearsing to tour again with Boston in the next couple of months.

"He left some notes for some family members. They were sealed. We respect their privacy, so we didn't ask what was in them," said Baldwin. "It's always sad when you have a longtime resident that's a good person that passes away. It's a loss to the community as well. Our hearts and prayers go out to the family.

Delp's family released a statement on Wednesday afternoon.

"He was a man who gave all he had to give to everyone around him, whether family, friends, fans or strangers," the statement said. "He gave as long as he could, as best he could, and he was very tired. We take comfort in knowing that he is now, at last, at peace."

The family's statement said Sullivan, Delp's children and their mother, Delp's ex-wife Micki Delp, were grateful for the sympathy they had received.

Delp joined Boston in the mid-1970s and sang two of its biggest hits, "More than a Feeling" and "Long Time."

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- Brad Delp, the lead singer of the 1970s and '80s rock band Boston was found dead at his home in southern New Hampshire on Friday, local police said.

Delp, 55, apparently was home alone and there was no indication of foul play, Atkinson, New Hampshire, police said.

With Delp's big, high-register voice, Boston scored hits with "More Than a Feeling," "Long Time," and "Peace of Mind."

The band's popularity peaked in the late 1970s, but it remained active off and on, producing its last album "Corporate America" in 2002.

Delp was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and bought his first guitar at age 13 after seeing the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show, according to his Web site. Since 1994, he spent his spare time working in a tribute band called Beatle Juice, the band's Web site said.

The band's Web site carried a statement, "We've just lost the nicest guy in rock and roll."
