Cause Of Death: Paul Gray Autopsy Due Tomorrow, Slipknot Silenced
Heavy metal band, Slipknot, announced the sad departure of its member, Paul Gray, after he was found dead in a hotel. The loud voiced band, with somewhat aggressive lyrics and masked outfits would go silent after Gray left their family. Body of the singer was found in an Iowa hotel room by an employee at the TownPlace suites in Urbandale. No reports of torture or foul play has been reported but an autopsy has been scheduled later in the day.
It is reported that Paul Gray had been staying at the hotel for several days. The hotel is only a few miles away from his childhood home. Gray, famous amongst the fans for wearing the black faceplate with dark sockets, rocked the crowd like anything.
Previous reports and investigations lead to his addiction to a few drugs. Back in 2003, he was arrested for possessing marijuana, cocaine and power syringes after he crashed his red Porsche. His original identity or I may say his face was revealed for the first time when Police unveiled his picture in public. Never before had anyone seen him.
The band spent a moment of silence and changing the front page of the site with Paul’s picture.
The band was nominated for Grammy’s on seven occasions while winning one in 2006 in the best metal performance category for “Before I Forget”.
Cause of Death could also not be determined till the filing of the report.

This is a shock to the whole maggot community. He is the one that actually inspired me to play bass. He will truly be missed, and my heart goes out to the members of slipknot and their families.
He was the BASSIST… NOT the singer! Fix your damn article
He’s the bassist and the back up vocals (only when Corey can’t sing some times). God research your profiles or have maggots do it for you. R.I.P. a well known bassist. That’s two in two months. \m/
From what I’ve been reading, the results of the autopsy are inconclusive.
If it were an overdose then I would think that that would be fairly easy to learn from the toxicology reports.
So from all of the media trying to hint that it was likely an OD, there you have it.
Paul was an extremely talented man, and the metal scene is not going to be the same without him. While he can’t be replaced completely, I do hope that the band will continue as I don’t think he would have wanted his death to break up the family.
Your fans all love you Paul, whereveer you are.
