According to blabbermouth.net, Dean Karr, who is Los Angeles-based photographer and video director, has shared the official obituary for his close friend Casey Chaos, who died less than a week ago at the age of 59 years old. “Hardcore Punk singer Casey Chaos (Karim Chmielinski) of the band AMEN passed away on December 20, 2024, at roughly 10:20 p.m. in his Laurel Canyon home.”
Karr adds: “He was excited for his mother’s arrival from Melbourne, Florida, to spend Christmas with him and had sent a limousine to retrieve her from LAX airport. The mother arrived at 10:45 p.m. and after no response to her knocking on the door, she let herself in with a spare key. Upon opening the door, she discovered Casey sitting on the floor with his back against the sofa and head tilted back. He had suffered a massive heart attack.” said Karr.
