Cause of death for country star Luke Bell has been revealed
Country singer Luke Bell’s fatal disappearance was allegedly not his first disappearance.
Bell could never find a solution to deal with bipolar disorder and has disappeared in the past, but he was always found, the manager of the deceased 32-year-old, Brian Buchanan, told TMZ.
“Luke fought it as hard as he could, but the disease beat him,” Buchanan said. “When he got over his illness, he was the sweetest and most generous guy. He has found peace now, and there is some consolation.
Bell’s body was discovered Monday in Tucson, Arizona, in the same area reported missing 10 days earlier.
He and his country mate Matt Kinman were in town to visit the Kinman family and play music.

According to the report, the duo planned to get some food when Bells disappeared.
Bell’s official cause of death is pending autopsy. However, Kinman said The Boot music blog that his friend had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, adding that a recent change in his medications may have “played a role” in his disappearance. TMZ reported that he had been prescribed medication, but his manager wasn’t sure when he was taking medication before his disappearance.
The Post contacted a Bell representative for comment.
Members of the country music scene remembered Bell on social media after his death was announced.

Meanwhile, the band Mike and the Moonpies wrote a touching tribute on Facebook.
“The news of Luke Bell’s departure has just arrived and we are heartbroken over the news,” they wrote. “I perfectly remember the first time I met Luke in the Hole in the Wall over a decade ago, including the clothes on his back.”
They added: “The man (and his music) made an impression. He was a true traveling troubadour on this lost highway. Do yourself a favor and play some Luke Bell tunes in his memory tonight. Rest in peace, my friend.
