Just picked this up of the NW Bluegrass list...

From Mike Conner

I am very sad to report some terrible news. Long time mandolin player for the Lost & Found Dempsey Young took his own life last evening. I have no details of arrangements, and don't suspect there will be any formal announcement until tomorrow.

What a sad, sad day. My heart goes out to his family & band mates, through what is sure to be a very difficult time.

This is shocking news. I have been lucky enough to spend time with Dempsey--in addition to being a great musician, he was a wonderful human being. My sympathies go out to Dempsey's family and the Lost & Found.
