Austin Eubanks, a wounded survivor of the 1999 Columbine High School massacre who in later years traversed the country inspiring others to overcome drug addiction, was found dead in his Colorado home on Saturday. He was 37.

Routt County Coroner Rob Ryg told KMGH-TV that authorities found no signs of foul play and that an autopsy would be performed on Monday to determine the cause of death.

In a statement, his family said Eubanks had lost the battle with the very disease he fought so hard to help others face.

Helping to build a community of support is what meant the most to Austin, and we plan to continue his work, the statement said. As you can imagine, we are beyond shocked and saddened and request that our privacy is respected at this time.
