Jerry Fuchs dies in tragic lift shaft fall

Jerry Fuchs, who drummed for !!! as well as the Juan MacLean, Maserati, and Turing Machine, died Saturday night after a tragic fall down an elevator shaft, the New York Post reports.

According to the report, 34 year old Fuchs was attending a benefit party in Brooklyn, Williamsburg when he and a friend became stuck in an elevator between floors. The two opened the elevator doors and attempted to jump across the elevator shaft to the nearest floor. The friend made it but when Fuchs jumped part of his clothing was caught and he fell down the shaft. He died later in hospital from his injuries.

In a post on his website, Juan MacLean writes, "Jerry was one of my best and most loyal friends. He was hands-down the best drummer I have ever played with or seen for that matter."
