Isaiah 'Ikey' Owens Dead: Jack White's Keyboardist Dies In Mexico, Drugs & Alcohol Found In Hotel Room, Twitter Fans Share 'RIP' Condolences

Reports confirm that Jack White's longtime keyboardist Isaiah "Ikey" Owens was found dead in his hotel room on Tuesday morning (October 14). Details surrounding the 38-year-old musician's tragic death still remain hazy, although TMZ reveals that authorities did discover drugs and alcohol scattered throughout the room.

Although investigators have yet to confirm a cause of death, Owens was healthy just the night before. He played a local gig with the former White Stripes frontman in Puebla, Mexico.

According to White's record label, Ownes was scheduled to perform with the Lazaretto rocker on Tuesday night in Guadalajara. That show was ultimately cancelled, along with the rest of White's Mexico tour dates. White's team released this statement on the singer's official website:

It is with great sadness that we tell the world of the passing of the incredible musician Isaiah "Ikey" Owens. He will be missed and loved forever by his family, friends, bandmates and fans.

Ikey Owens was an astounding keyboard player in Jack White's backing band. He also played with Mars Volta, Free Moral Agents, and many other projects.

Out of respect for Ikey, the remaining shows of the Jack White Tour in Mexico have been cancelled.

We will all miss you Ikey. You were and are an incredible artist.
