Allman Brothers Band drummer Butch Trucks committed suicide in front of his wife, according to multiple media reports. The Miami Herald, citing a police report, claims that Trucks shot himself in the head with a pistol while his wife of 25-years stood nearby in their West Palm Beach, Florida, condo. The West Palm Beach Police Department told Fox News "foul play is not suspected, and the case is still under investigation." The Palm Beach County Medical Examiner's Office told Fox News the office "can't release anything but the name" and that autopsy results for Claude "Butch" Trucks would not be released for "weeks." Trucks is survived by his wife, four children and four grandchildren.
