Report: Slipknot’s Paul Gray Died of a Drug Overdose

Reports are starting to surface alleging that Slipknot bassist Paul Gray died from a drug overdose. TMZ has released a recording of the 911 call from the hotel employee who found Gray’s body, indicating that there was “a hypodermic needle next to the bed,” and pills.

A toxicology test is underway, with results expected within six weeks.

Slipknot made an unmasked appearance at a press conference earlier this week along with Gray’s wife, to share their thoughts and memories of Gray:

    Rest in Peace Paul. Slipknot will never be the same without you.

    Paul Gray we’ll miss you dearly.
    Slipknot’s probably never going to be as good now as they have been.
    We’ll never forget you.
