Heavy metal band, Slipknot, announced the sad departure of its member, Paul Gray, after he was found dead in a hotel. The loud voiced band, with somewhat aggressive lyrics and masked outfits would go silent after Gray left their family. Body of the singer was found in an Iowa hotel room by an employee at the TownPlace suites in Urbandale. No reports of torture or foul play has been reported but an autopsy has been scheduled later in the day.
It is reported that Paul Gray had been staying at the hotel for several days. The hotel is only a few miles away from his childhood home. Gray, famous amongst the fans for wearing the black faceplate with dark sockets, rocked the crowd like anything.
Previous reports and investigations lead to his addiction to a few drugs. Back in 2003, he was arrested for possessing marijuana, cocaine and power syringes after he crashed his red Porsche. His original identity or I may say his face was revealed for the first time when Police unveiled his picture in public. Never before had anyone seen him.
The band spent a moment of silence and changing the front page of the site with Paul’s picture.
The band was nominated for Grammy’s on seven occasions while winning one in 2006 in the best metal performance category for “Before I Forget”.
Cause of Death could also not be determined till the filing of the report.
