Late MEGADETH Drummer NICK MENZA's Mother Named Administrator Of His Estate

According to TMZ, late MEGADETH drummer Nick Menza's mother, Rose, has been named the administrator of his estate. This means that she is now in line to collect any royalties owed to her son, who was in MEGADETH during what many associate as the band's "classic" era. Last May, Nick collapsed after suffering a heart attack during a concert with the progressive rock/fusion group OHM: at The Baked Potato in Studio City, California and was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital. The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner said Menza died of natural causes. The cause of Menza's death was listed as hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. According to TMZ, Nick's death certificate — which was filed by Rose in probate court — gives the cause of death as heart disease and blood pressure. Shortly after Nick's passing, Rose expressed her "enormous gratitude for the outpouring of love and condolences from Nick's many friends and fans," adding that she was "so happy and excited" that MEGADETH leader "Dave Mustaine has chosen to help celebrate Nick's life and help the boys." OHM: also features ex-MEGADETH guitarist Chris Poland.
