It is.

His real name sounds familiar to me for some reason... Strange because I don’t know any of the bands mentioned in the article.
Regardless, may he Rest in Peace. Prayers to his family, friends, and fans as they mourn his passing.

Could the cause of death be an overdose of tofu?

Smoot is a unit of measurement. At least tongue-in-cheek at MIT.
A Smoot won the Nobel Prize in Physics not too long ago.
