I've been researching his death and the things I found point to suicide.
For starters, I'd just like to say that you don't just take 4 different types of pain killers/medications and alcohol together and expect to live:
"The results of the autopsy performed on December 30, 2009, however, were inconclusive.[1] It was not until June 9, 2010 that the cause of death was revealed to have been an acute polydrug intoxication due to combined effects of oxycodone (OxyContin), oxymorphone (a metabolite of oxycodone), diazepam (Valium), nordiazepam (a metabolization of diazepam) and alcohol."
I believe, however, that this combination of drugs and alcohol was more than coincidental. The song fiction does appear to be a goodbye note, but I think that the rev had been contemplating suicide long before the making of nightmare.
Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan was better. The new drummer is not as good.
James (Jimmy) Sullivan was the drummer for Avenged Sevenfold until he died of drugs/alcohol in 2009.
So Far Away by Avenged Sevenfold is a song dedicated to The Rev (Jimmy Sullivan, the old drummer for Avenged Sevenfold) who died unexpectedly from an accidental drug overdose in December 2009.

Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan was better. The new drummer is not as good.
His stage name was The Rev. but his real name was James (Jimmy) Owen Sullivan. There currently is no new permanent drummer for Avenged Sevenfold. However, Mike Portnoy was their drummer for their album Nightmare.
