(Newser) – Tommy Marth, saxophone player for The Killers, was found dead at home in Las Vegas Monday, and that death has now been ruled a suicide, TMZ reports. Marth, 33, toured with the band in 2008 and 2009 and was featured on two of its albums. "Our prayers are with his family," The Killers said in a statement. "There’s a light missing in Las Vegas tonight. Travel well, Tommy."
