The frontman of the heavy metal band Gwar, Dave Brockie, has been found dead at his home in the US at the age of 50.

Officers were called to a home in Richmond, Virginia, on Sunday evening to a report of a dead person, said Dionne Waugh, a spokesperson for local police.

When police arrived, Brockie was found dead inside the home.

Waugh said the medical examiner's officer would determine the cause of death but foul play is not suspected.
