From the Decapitated website (http://www.decapitated.pl/):

Witold "Vitek" Kieltyka – our brother and dearest friend succumbed to head injuries sustained after a bad van accident while on tour in Russia. He was 23.

One of the youngest and most promising drummers in the genre, together with Decapitated he has consistently released albums both crushing and invigorating in their musicianship.

Extremely talented – he has been involved in other side projects: Dies Irae, Panzer X. He will be missed and can not be replaced.

The metal scene will be much sorrier with his passing…

Sea of Tranquility sends our condolences to the Kieltyka famila, the band, and the fans.
