Everyone here at TLOBF Towers was gutted to hear last night of the death of Jimmy Lee Lindsey Jr., aka Jay Reatard. He was 29.
The Memphis Commerical Appeal reports that Reatard was found in his home at 3:30 am this morning – further details are expected.
There’s an entry on the Matador blog that sums everything up: “Jay was as full of life as anyone we’ve ever met, and responsible for so many memorable moments as a person and artist. We’re honored to have known and worked with him, and we will miss him terribly.”
