Adam Young of father/daughter grindcore outfit Sockweb has committed suicide. Earlier this year Young had been arrested on two counts of intimidation, pointing a firearm, strangulation, four counts of domestic battery, and criminal mischief. The charges all stemmed from an alleged incident with his girlfriend. His mother, Janelle Altin claims that Young had been not guilty of all charges, releasing the following heartbreaking post on his death:
“My son Adam Young is dead. He was found this morning by Caroline, hung by the neck in his basement. After we had been there last night until 3 am in the morning while she beat herself in the face and head and she shaved her head and screamed and yelled all while being video taped to show the world that he wasn’t abusing her that she was abusing herself.
He was found not guilty of the crimes against him if any of you really care. He was innocent and many of you turned your backs on him and believed the lies that were spun by the same person who pushed him to his death. He is no more! His daughter has no father. I have no child.
Because he loved someone and tried to help her and he suffered the ultimate price. His life was snuffed out in one swift move. May God show mercy.”
