Jerry Fuchs, 34, drummer for !!!, Maserati, The Juan MacLean, Turing Machine, LCD Soundsystem and a handful of other bands died yesterday in Brooklyn while at a benefit to raise money for women in India.

He fell five stories down an elevator shaft. Examiner.com says: “According to the Building Department spokesman, Jerry was in the elevator with a friend when it abruptly stopped on the fifth floor, causing the two to have to “jump down” to get off. The other man made the four-foot jump without any problem, but he got a piece of clothing caught on the elevator apparatus, “sending him swinging back into the crevice separating the elevator from the fifth floor.”

He sure will be missed. I saw him in concert twice. He was great. There’s lot’s of nice eulogies by musicians that have played with him and some nice youtube tributes if you want to dig a little more into his life.
