More info. Including a lot of back story and an press "statement" from the band. Paul was admittedly into some heavy drugs in the past.

It kind of makes me laugh when people are surprised about someone in a rock/metal band OD'ing on drugs. The morning show here was talking about it and they started getting some nasty calls from people yelling at them for saying he OD'd and blah blah.

They don't say "Sex, drugs, and rock & roll" for nothing. It doesn't surprise me that a guy in a band OD'd on drugs at all.

morphine.

BBC News - Slipknot bassist Paul Gray died of morphine overdose

 

[kelsodeez]

morphine is pretty awesome, but its best used only in a hospital setting.

Color me surprised it was an OD.

 

[jamesA]

I knew it was an OD since I heard he died. The Revs though was ruled a natural death, that one surprised me.
