Eugene Welgemoed August 13, 2007

This is all about Mental Manipulation tactics used against the band and brothers. From 2003-06, Shaun Morgan dated Evanescence singer Amy Lee. Morgan checked into rehab in July 2006. When Finding Beauty In Negative Spaces was released on 23 October 2007, its third single, "Breakdown", was rumored to be about Amy Lee, which Morgan denied.
In August 2007, Morgan's brother, Eugene Welgemoed, committed suicide, just a few weeks before Seether's third studio release Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces. As the album was finished there was no delay, but the opus was dedicated to Eugene and featured a memorial. Eugene jumped to his death shortly after midnight Monday, 13 August 2007 from an eighth-floor window of the Radisson Hotel in Rapid City, South Dakota. According to police, no foul play was suspected in the death, and the death was ruled a suicide after an investigation. Morgan has 1308 tattooed on his four right fingers, and 2007 tattooed on his four left fingers which marks the day Eugene died (13 August 2007). Seether's song "Rise Above This" is a tribute to Eugene. On Seether's May 2011 album Holding Onto Strings Better Left to Fray, the song "Pass Slowly" was also written about his late brother.
Shaun Morgan is a South African musician and singer for the post-grunge/alternative metal band Seether.
