February 9, 2005

Metal Hammer is reporting that CHIMAIRA guitarist Rob Arnold did not die yesterday as an Internet report has suggested.

A fake news story has been circulating since yesterday afternoon stating that "CHIMAIRA guitarist Rob Arnold was found dead in car aged 25.

"Cleveland police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of a man whose body was found following a suspected road accident in Co Roscommon this morning.

"The man, who is identified as 25-year-old guitarist Rob Arnold, was found dead inside a vehicle that was spotted in a ditch by a passing motorist in Cloonfad East at around 9am. A post mortem is due to be carried out later today to determine the cause of his death."

CHIMAIRA's publicist told Metal Hammer, "Rob's just fine and amused to learn of his death yesterday."

An official statement from the band is as follows:

"In more startling news, guitarist Rob Arnold has returned from the dead. Donations for his family are still being accepted."
