Former My Chemical Romance drummer Bob Bryar made several cryptic social media posts before his untimely death.
Bryar, 44, was found dead in his Tennessee home just two days before Thanksgiving. The cause of his death has not been made public and it is unknown who found him, according to TMZ.
The American emo-punk band, made up of Gerard Way, Frank Iero, Mikey Way and Ray Toro, confirmed Bryar’s death and asked their fans for “patience and understanding” as they process their grief.
“The band asks for your patience and understanding as they process the news of Bob’s passing,” a spokesperson for the band shared in a statement.
Bryar was last seen alive on November 4, the same day he posted his last creepy tweets. Notably, his profile photo shows him wearing a camouflage cap that says “Make American Great Again.”
Much of his social media presence, including several racist and transphobic posts, has been deleted following his death, but it is unclear when or by whom the posts were removed.
Two of his remaining posts on X consist of one word, each simply saying ‘TULSI’ and ‘MEGYN’.
The posts apparently referenced former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard and political commentator Megyn Kelly.

Her third remaining post is about Linkin Park’s newest member, Emily Armstrong, who replaced frontman Chester Bennignton after he committed suicide at age 41 in 2017.
‘Emily Armstrong is destroying, smashing faces and making Chester proud. She was the perfect choice. And he had to deal with the initial hate. That shit is hard. trust me. “Clarify the situation,” Bryan said.
Several of Bryar’s troubling old and deleted posts have resurfaced as fans wonder why most of his social media accounts have been deleted.
In a screenshot of a deleted post from October 29 shared onlineBryar used an offensive term to describe transgender people.
‘I’m happy we can use the word taxi again. I don’t care who hates me anymore. Fight with me,’ he said.
In posts that appeared to talk about Black Lives Matter protesters, he suggested police should kill them.
‘All these protesters and police officers should sit down and listen to Refused’s new song together. It’s very good and everyone would be happy. “Then the police should stand up and shoot everyone,” he said.
In another post As of October 22, Bryar appeared to be discussing why she split from her business manager and blamed the Kardashians.
‘Lou Taylor was my commercial director for 18 years. “We broke up in September because the Kardashians are the slimiest pile of garbage on the planet,” he said.
“They make a lot of money, a lot more than me, kind of like prostitutes.” Anyway, I can’t associate with them. Maybe Kendall because it’s a real thing and he has an SF90 I could drive. In fact, they have blood on their hands. I KNOW EVERYTHING.’
While the cause of her death is unknown, her body was reportedly “severely decomposed” when it was discovered and Animal Control came to the home to take her two dogs.
Authorities do not suspect “foul play” since all of his “weapons and music equipment in the house were left intact.”
As My Chemical Romance’s final and longest-serving drummer from 2004 to 2010, Bryar’s departure was shrouded in rumors of tension with his bandmates.
While the band members did not discuss the details, multiple sources confirmed that a fight had occurred, according to MTV.
On March 3, 2010, guitarist Iero revealed that Bryar had left the band.
‘4 weeks ago, My Chemical Romance and Bob Bryar broke up. It was a painful decision for all of us and was not made lightly. We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors and hope that you all do the same,” he wrote in a statement shared on his official website.
