Indie Drummer Dies from Tragic Accident

Drummer Jerry Fuchs passed away on Sunday morning after a tragic fall down an elevator shaft. The accident happened when the musician was attending a benefit 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 Jerry failed to 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.” The 34-year old was the beloved drummer for indie band such as !!!, The Juan MacLean, Maseratti, Vineland and Turing Machine. My condolences go out to the loved ones he left behind.
