A second posting said that Steele had died of heart failure.

Next came Carnivore but after a few years and two albums they were over as well.

Given what happened in 2005, I shant believe it til something official is posted. Somebody twittering that they heard it from Kenny, is not official.

They locked their forums for a bit. They're open again, now, but with a note that the band/family will be posting an announcement later. It's now on Blabbermouth. If it's a rumor or a joke, they've really gone all out. I don't even know what to say....
