Word has come in that former Cadillac Tramps guitarist Mike "Mad Dog" Combs has died at age 42. Music news site Blabbermouth is citing a report in the Aspen Times that states Combs found on Vail Mountain in Colorado on Tuesday (Dec. 14) after a nearly 19-hour search. From their article:

Mike, a snowboarder who was the boyfriend of film legend Clint Eastwood's daughter Alison, was found about 1 p.m. Tuesday in trees along the Riva Ridge run near the bottom of Vail Mountain, said Kim Andree, spokeswoman for the Eagle County Sheriff's Office, which investigates deaths on Vail Mountain. This is the first ski-related death this season on Vail Mountain, according to The Aspen Times.

The story was also confirmed on Fox 11 KTTV, however we're awaiting further print confirmation and will update this article as that info comes in. Combs played guitar for the Cadillac Tramps from 1999 to 2002. He also sang and played lead guitar in the Back Alley Gators.

Our deepest condolences go out to Mike's friends and family.
