As the person who found the body, this is what I was told by the coroner's office. This is a copy of what I sent out to others in the industry that both Austin and I knew and had worked with:

Just wanted to let everyone know, that on Thursday March 9th, I found Austin dead in his apartment. We both lived in the same building in Long Beach. I had not seen him for a few days, so I went to check up on him. I noticed water running out of his door. When I entered the apartment, I found him dead in the tub. He had been dead for a few days. All very devastating to me, as he was one of my best friends. The coroner's office has labeled the death as natural causes. I will keep everyone posted on a memorial service. If you know anyone else that knew him, please pass my e-mail and this info to them. Thank you
