Luke Bell failed to "ease" the pain he was struggling with, but he helped his fans deal with it through his music.

The music industry is mourning following the untimely death of Bell. He was first reported missing in Arizona before his body was found in Tucson.

According to Arizona Daily Star, the 32-year-old was found near the place he was last seen. The Tucson Police Department, per USA Today, disclosed that the probe is still ongoing.

Amid the mystery surrounding his death, his fans remembered how Bell's music helped them get through their mental health issues - although it failed to do the same to the singer.

On Twitter, fans expressed how hurt they currently feel after learning about Bell's tragic death. Still, they chose to look at the brighter side and thank him for sharing his music before his passing.

One said, "Rest easy, Luke Bell. Your soul deserves it. Thank you for sharing your songs with this cold world. They've sure helped me along."

Luke Bell's Pain Lingered

As news outlets, including Us Weekly and Billboard, revealed that Bell was already found dead, his family also detailed the 32-year-old's struggles in life.

In a statement to The New York Post on Thursday, Bell's family called the singer a person with "a gentle heart" and singer with a "musical gift."

The bereaved family disclosed that Bell started suffering from mental illness years ago. It reportedly progressed after his father died in 2015. Amid the tough battle, he received heartfelt support from his family and friends. Unfortunately, it was not enough to ease the pain he was feeling.

The family ended their post by extending their wishes and prayers to everyone affected by mental illnesses. They also asked for privacy as they dealt with the darkest moment in their life.

Bell's manager, Brian Buchanan, revealed to a news outlet that the country singer was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. His recent disappearance was reportedly not the first time he had gone missing.

Meanwhile, his fellow country singer, Matt Kinman, told The Boot that the most recent change in his medication seemingly played a huge role in his fatal disappearance. It remains unknown whether he took them days before he went missing.

The official result of Luke Bell's autopsy is still pending.
