Jason Molina | Singer-songwriter, 39

Alternative singer-songwriter Jason Molina, 39, died at his home in Indianapolis on Saturday of organ failure after a long battle with alcoholism.

His record label, Indiana-based Secretly Canadian, said he stopped touring in 2009 "to deal with severe alcoholism."

On its website Monday, the label said Mr. Molina, a native of Lorain, Ohio, released more than 12 albums under the name Songs: Ohia and the band Magnolia Electric Co., which he started in 2003. The label said Mr. Molina was its cornerstone.

A message attributed to his family and posted on the label's website in September 2011 says he had been in and out of rehabilitation facilities and hospitals in England and the United States over the previous two years and was raising goats and chickens in West Virginia. - AP
