FORT WORTH -- The 47-year-old guitarist for the metal band Rigor Mortis died early Sunday after apparently suffering a seizure during a performance at The Rail Club in Fort Worth.
Michael Scaccia, 47, of Arlington was pronounced dead at 12:26 a.m. in the emergency room at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth, according to the Tarrant County medical examiner's office.
Police responded to a deceased person call at the club at 11:45 p.m. Saturday, according to records.
Scaccia died of a sudden heart attack brought on by a heart disease, according to the medical examiner's website on Sunday. Officials ruled it a natural death.
Blabbermouth.net which describes itself as "the CNN of heavy metal and hard rock news," said Scaccia asked for strobe lights to be turned off, then collapsed and suffered a seizure.
Rigor Mortis was performing at the club, 3101 Joyce Drive, in honor of lead vocalist Bruce Corbitt's 50th birthday.
"My brother is gone!," Corbitt wrote early Sunday on his Facebook page. "The only reason I am who I am is because of this man. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't even be in a band. RIP Mike Scaccia! The greatest guitar player I ever knew!"

"I just lost my lil' brother and my best friend - the 13th Planet compound is devastated, completely in shock and shattered. Mikey was not only the best guitar player in the history of music, but he was a close, close, close part of our family - and I just lost a huge chunk of my heart today. Our lives are forever changed. Life without Mikey is like orange juice without pulp - kind of bland. I have no words to express what this guy meant to me, my family, my career. . . . everything! ... Rest in peace my brother, my friend, my heart. Please pray for Mike Scaccia and Jenny, his wife and their children, and his family."
