The 65-year-old man, Gord Lewis, was the guitarist for the band Teenage Head for decades.

Police have arrested his son, Jonathan Lewis, and charged him with second-degree murder.

Police only discovered Lewis' body after his son sent a series of emails to media outlets.

My Dad is starting to decay," Jonathan wrote to The Hamilton Spectator, a local news outlet in Ontario.

"We are heartbroken and still trying to process the loss of our friend, bandmate and brother Gord Lewis," they wrote.

While authorities discovered the body this weekend, it was already significantly decomposed.
