Atlanta's WSBTV.com reports that police are investigating the apparent suicide of a former drummer for rocker Ted Nugent.

Corporal Brandon Gurley with the Paulding County Sheriff's department says 59-year-old Clifford Davies was found dead from a gunshot wound in his suburban Atlanta home Sunday. Gurley said Tuesday authorities are awaiting the results of an autopsy.

A woman who answered the phone at Davies' home said she wanted to check with her family before commenting, according to WSBTV.com.

Reed Beaver, who owns Equametric Studio in Marietta where Davies was a chief engineer, confirmed Davies was a drummer for Ted Nugent. Beaver says Davies called him Saturday "extremely distraught" over money for medical bills.

Cliff Davies played drums on Ted Nugent's First Solo album, Free-For-All, Cat Scratch Fever, Double Live Gonzo, Weekend Warriors, State Of Shock, and Scream Dream.
