Death
Scaccia collapsed onstage shortly before midnight on Saturday, December 22, 2012 at The Rail Club in Fort Worth, Texas, where he was performing as part of the 50th birthday celebrations for Bruce Corbitt, the singer from Rigor Mortis; he passed away around 12:30 am on Sunday, December 23rd at a local hospital. Although initial reports suggested a seizure possibly caused by the strobe lighting at the venue, the coroner indicated the cause of death to be "sudden heart attack brought on by heart disease". He was 47. A memorial service was held for Scaccia on Sunday, December 30th at the Aristide Event and Conference Center in Mansfield, TX.
