The founder of the Trans-Siberia Orchestra (TSO) Paul O'Neill was found deceased in his hotel room on Wednesday evening at the Tampa Embassy Suites Hotel.
Tampa Police spokeswoman Renna Reddick said there is no signs of foul play in the death of O'Neill who was 61 years of age at the time of his passing away who according to member of his band died of a "chronic illness".
The TSO combined heavy metal and classical music with a touch of theater that made their concerts super shows to watch starting in 1996.
Even though I have never heard of the group T S O, the music that O'Neill left behind will live on many years to come.

The report from CBS News said Paul's converts were very good.

All I know about them is they combined heavy metal and classical music but I guess they did not make mainstream like the Electric Light Orchestra did.
