LONDON — Stuart Cable, 40, the former drummer with the British rock band Stereophonics, has died.

South Wales Police say Cable was found early today at his home in the town of Aberdare, 165 miles west of London.

The force says the cause of death has not been determined, but there are no suspicious circumstances.

Cable co-founded Stereophonics with singer Kelly Jones in the early 1990s. The band had a string of British top 10 hits, including “Have a Nice Day.”

Cable left the group in 2003 amid reports of conflicts with bandmates.

He recently formed a new band, Killing for Company, and worked as a broadcaster, with a show on BBC Radio Wales.
