LONDON (CBS/AP) Former drummer Stuart Cable of the British rock band Stereophonics, has died at the age of 40.

South Wales Police say Cable was found early Monday at his home in the town of Aberdare, 165 miles west of London. Authorities say the cause of death has not been determined, but no suspicious circumstances have been reported.

Cable was co-founder of the Stereophonics with singer Kelly Jones in the early 1990s. The rock band had a litany of British top 10 hits, including the chart-topper "Have a Nice Day."

Cable left the group in 2003 amid reports of conflicts with other band members.

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