Police said there was no evidence of a prescription for either drug. His body was found by an employee at a hotel Des Moines, Iowa on 24 May. The band, famous for their ghoulish masks, won a Grammy Award in 2006 for the song Before I Forget. The autopsy also revealed signs of significant heart disease, police in Urbandale, a Des Moines suburb, said. A spokesman for the Urbandale police said they were trying to find out how Gray obtained the drugs. The spokesman said charges were possible. The band formed in 1995 in Des Moines and remained based in the city. The nine members of Slipknot wore Halloween masks in public and referred to other bandmates by numbers - Gray was number two.[/release] Link to the original ITN article: [url=http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=943308]Here[/url] Well, now we know what happened to him, an "accidental" overdose :/ I didn't know he had a heart condition... looks like he was a [I](sic)[/I] man :v:

It's slipknot. It really doesn't matter.
Called it.
[QUOTE=T2L_Goose;22788730]hard to feel remorse for drug users.[/QUOTE] Exactly, since it's entirely their fault.
[QUOTE=evilweazel;22789142]Called it.[/QUOTE] you and every other person currently residing in the milky way
I liked the part where he sought help for his drug addiction when he had a kid.

[QUOTE=evilweazel;22789142]Called it.[/QUOTE] You must be some sort of genius, no one though of this, no rockstar has ever died of overdose
I guess he slipped up.
Drug user or not, it's still somebodies life, and families life that's been ruined. Take some time out to express some fucking empathy rather than god damn stupid puns. Nobody cares about your opinions. May he R.I.P.

Shame...really a shame But yes I as well figured it was drug related
Didn't another Slipknot member die a few weeks ago?
[quote=killer900;22790160]didn't another slipknot member die a few weeks ago?[/quote] :what:
Oh shit, give me books, lots of books. fuuuck
I knew it would be overdose. Drugs are bad, mmkay?
2010 claims another one.
[QUOTE=Pretiacruento;22789210] I wonder what's going to happen with the band now...[/QUOTE] They'll just play without the bass and nobody will ever hear the difference :smug: *runs away* Jokes aside; at least with slipknot (what with all the distortion and yelling) it'd be hard to tell if the bass was gone. I'm sure they'll just get a new bassist.

Shit, there's only 23 Slipknot members left, then.
Didn't another one die earlier this year? At this rate they may be the size of a normal band in a couple years!
[QUOTE=Octyl;22792249]Didn't another one die earlier this year?[/QUOTE] Same guy, this is only the confirmation that he died from an overdose.
He used drugs and made terrible music. At least he was famous. [editline]10:00AM[/editline] RIP anyway
