Justin Lowe, ex-guitarist for the Minnesota-based metalcore band After the Burial, was found dead on Tuesday, Billboard reported. Lowe had been missing for three days before his body was discovered by a hiker near the St. Croix River, under the Arcola High Bridge. He was 32 years old.

The bridge connects Stillwater, Minn. and Somerset, Wis. Lowe's vehicle was found on the Minnesota side. St. Croix County Chief Deputy Scott Knudson said the discovered vehicle was the focus of a search on July 18 when Lowe was reported missing, according to RiverTowns.net. Foul play is not suspected, as Lowe's cause of death "was consistent with a fall," Knudson told RiverTowns.net.

The musician also went missing back in June after he announced his departure from After the Burial in a lengthy post on the band's Facebook page, which has since been removed but can be read in full here. He was found shortly after the post was published and his former band mates expressed concern for Lowe's well-being and mental health at the time.

"Our dear friend, our brother onstage and off, has fallen into a very broken state of mind. A state that, despite our continued efforts, we have been powerless to get him out of," the band wrote on Facebook after he left. "Mental illness is a very serious matter, and we are treating it as such. If you or anyone you know may be suffering from a mental illness, the time to find help is now."

Lowe was one of the founding members of After the Burial when the group formed back in 2004 in Minneapolis. The band had a large national following and Lowe performed on the band's last album, 2013's "Wolves Within." They are moving on in the wake of Lowe's tragic death, fulfilling a commitment on the Summer Slaughter Tour, which kicks off on July 28 in Denver at the Summit Music Hall.
