Jon Andreas Nödtveidt (28 June 1975 – 13 August 2006) was a lead guitarist and vocalist of the Swedish blackened death metal band Dissection, which he founded in 1989.
On the 16th of August 2006, he was found dead in his apartment in Hässelby, a suburb off Stockholm by an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound inside a circle of lit candles.
Early reports indicated that he was found with an open copy of the Satanic Bible, but these were later dismissed by Dissection's guitarist Set Teitan. According to him, "it's not any atheist, humanist and ego-worshiping 'Satanic Bible' by Anton LaVey that Jon had in front of him, but a Satanic Grimoire. He despised LaVey and 'The Church of Satan'."...
