Jeremy Michael Ward was best known for his work with progressive alternative rock band, The Mars Volta, with whom he worked as a sound technician. The band’s 2003 De-Loused in the Comatorium benefited from Ward’s obvious talent. When not working with the band or its splinter projects, Ward was a pen and ink artist. On May 25, 2003, roughly one month after the release of De-Loused, Jeremy Michael Ward was found dead in his apartment of an apparent heroin overdose. He was 27 years old.
