Slipknot bassist found dead
Slipknot bassist found dead in Iowa hotel room
By the CNN Wire Staff
UPDATED: 07:09 PM EDT 05.24.10
(CNN) - Paul Gray, the bassist for the Grammy-winning metal band Slipknot, was found dead Monday morning in his Des Moines, Iowa, hotel room, according to police. He was 38.
Gray's body was found by staff members at the TownePlace Suites, said Sgt. Dave Disney of the Urbandale Police Department.
An autopsy, including toxicology tests, will be performed Tuesday, Disney said.
Gray was arrested in Iowa in 2003 on drug possession charges when police found small amounts of marijuana, two syringes and a substance that field-tested positive for cocaine after he was involved in a wreck with another motorist.
Slipknot -- whose fans are affectionately known as "Maggots" -- was formed in Des Moines in late 1995 and became immediately recognizable for the dark and often grotesque homemade Halloween masks its nine members wore on stage. The band won a Grammy award in 2006 for best metal performance for "Before I Forget."
Slipknot's self-titled debut album went platinum in 2000. Its fourth album, "All Hope is Gone," spent 69 weeks on Billboard's Top 200 charts, debuting at No. 1 its first week in 2008.

Wow how will they ever get along with only 8 members left?
Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

Yeah, I guess it's no surprise. And, true, with a baseball team at their disposal, who will miss one member?
Still, only 38. Jeebus. That's a baby.
I assume the autopsy will reveal his death the result of an overdose. Regardless of the cause, that's a life cut short. Makes me grateful for my 47 years. We're guaranteed jack.

Awesome talent, saw them a few months ago and it was an amazing show.
He reportedly was clean for the last couple of years and has a baby on the way with his new wife.If god were suddenly condemned to live the life which he has inflicted on man, he would kill himself.
