Police say Stuart Cable was found early Monday, June 7, at his home in the town of Aberdare, 265 kilometers (165 miles) west of London, UK.

The cause of death has not been determined, but there are no suspicious circumstances.

Stuart Cable co-founded the Stereophonics with singer Kelly Jones in the early 1990s. Stuart\'s engine room driving beats undoubtedly helped Stereophonics find favour with a fervent following plus a string of top 40 hits in the UK and abroad, including Have a Nice Day.

Following the release of the band\'s third album, the drummer was sacked from the Stereophonics in 2003 amid reports of conflicts with band mates.

The rock drummer\'s drug use had estranged him from the rest of the Stereophonics. In his autobiography Demons And Cocktails, Stuart wrote:

\"When we went on tour, coke was never far behind for me and once a show was over I turned into some kind of coke-taking zombie. We went from a tight-knit rock band, who were the best of friends, to the two musketeers against the hyperactive junkie clown – and the more we started to drift apart, the more I rebelled and went my own way.\"

Stuart continued to drum but being thrown out of his band may have caused much festering resentment underneath his party animal and joker facade.

Stuart, who had calmed down in the last couple of years, recently formed a new band called Killing for Company. He was also expected to play the Download Festival at Donington Park with this band on Saturday, June 12.

Stuart Cable also worked as a broadcaster, with a show on BBC Radio Wales.
