Paul Gray Died Of Accidental Overdose
Paul Gray, the Slipknot bassist, was found dead in his hotel room last month. Now, the medical examiner in the case has revealed that he died of an accidental overdose of morphine and Fentanyl. When his body was found, drugs and needles were found close to his body. Paul did not have prescriptions for any of the pills or other drugs and police are investigating where he got them.
According to the DEA, "Morphine is an opium-based narcotic that is used to relieve severe pain. Fentanyl is a synthetic form of morphine that may be hundreds of times more potent than morphine." Apparently this Fentanyl stuff has caused thousands of overdose deaths the past few years as it can be made in illegal labs.
The medical examiner ruled that this was not a suicide, that Paul had significant heart disease, and because of his previous drug use decided this was accidental.
