Monday, January 09, 2017Heavy that they have no report of Kay’s death. So far, Kay’s exact cause of death has not been released (this post will be updated as more details are learned.)Fueling the mystery, the Hillsborough County Medical Examiner and Coroner in the state where Kay lived has no record of his death. “His death was not reported to us. I don’t think he died in NH,” Kim Fallon, Chief Forensic Investigator in New Hampshire, told Heavy. New Hampshire is the state where Kay’s obituary said he lived and is also the state where his funeral will be held.The funeral home declined comment, citing privacy concerns, a phone number for his mother was disconnected, and even some friends aren’t certain how he died. His girlfriend, Jennifer DePietro, told RadarOnline, that Kay’s loved ones were grieving and added, “We’re not releasing how he passed at this time.” RadarOnline reported that the Massachusetts Medical Examiner also had no record of Kay’s death.People who knew Kay remembered him as a man of faith.“He certainly seemed to find a peace at Crossway and with the people he interacted with here,” Ron Kastens, lead pastor at Crossway Christian church, which Kay attended, told Heavy. “I think Dan found a peace in his pursuit of faith, and he was extremely kind and had a huge heart for people. When he first walked through our doors, I think he was searching for something instead of the next paycheck or thrill or pursuit of life, but something more, and I think he was finding that in God.”The pastor, who performed the funeral for Kay’s father, said, “He was a very kind man and he was a kid at heart, and he loved and enjoyed his own kids and his sister’s kids, and enjoyed them dearly. He had a big heart in terms of helping people. He was humble and if you met Dan in the lobby of our...
