SLIPKNOT To Speak Out On Bassist's Death

May 25, 2010

The members of SLIPKNOT have announced that they will address the death of their bassist, Paul Gray, during a news conference today (Tuesday, May 25) at 4:30 p.m. PT / 7:30 p.m. ET. We will be streaming the entire thing live right here on BLABBERMOUTH.NET.

As previously reported, an autopsy of Paul Gray has revealed no cause of death, Urbandale, Iowa police said this afternoon.

The cause of death is still under investigation, and the Polk County Medical Examiner is awaiting the results of toxicology testing.

Dr. Gregory Schmunk said it could be four to six weeks before all of the test results are complete and the cause of death can be determined, according to police.

The autopsy reportedly did confirm that there was no evidence of foul play or trauma, and that Gray had been dead for several hours before his body was discovered.

Gray was found dead in a hotel room in Urbandale, Iowa on Monday morning (May 24). The 38-year-old musician's body was discovered at 10:50 a.m. local time by an employee of the TownePlace Suites.
