"Electric Prunes bassist Mark Tulin has died at the age of 62. The musician was a founding member of the influential &amp;#039;60s psychedelic band. In 2009, he worked with Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan and briefly replaced touring bassist Ginger Pooley at one live show. A Facebook post from USC Catalina Hyperbaric Chamber read: &amp;quot;It is with deep sadness and a very heavy heart that I inform you of the death of Mark Tulin. &amp;quot;He collapsed today while helping out at the Avalon Underwater Clean-Up and had immediate response by Baywatch Avalon and Avalon Fire Department medics, but he could not be revived. Mark was one-of-a-kind. His energy, generosity, and spirit was unmatched.&amp;quot; A second post read: &amp;quot;Services for Mark will be held at Mount Sinai Memorial Park - Hollywood Hills on Friday March 4th at 2pm.&amp;quot; Writing on Twitter, Corgan said: &amp;quot;Just got some horrible news, my brother and good friend, Mark Tulin of the Electric Prunes passed away today. I am really sad!  &amp;quot;We just had lunch with Mark 2 days ago in Los Angeles + we were discussing recording a new song for the Prunes :( he will be missed by many! &amp;quot;I had planned this week to go through all the SP demos of the past 2 years, and of course Mark is playing on almost all of them. Wow... :( &amp;quot; Tulin had been touring and recording with the reunited Prunes over the last ten years. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
