Slipknot bassist's death ruled accidental overdose: "Authorities have determined that the death of Slipknot [ tickets ] bassist Paul Gray, whose body was discovered in a hotel room late last month, was caused by an accidental overdose of two heroin-like medications, according to published reports.
The 38-year-old Gray, who was found dead on the morning of May 24, died from a lethal combination of morphine (an opium-based narcotic) and fentanyl, a synthetic form of morphine that the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration has said 'may be hundreds of times more potent than morphine,' according to The Des Moines Register newspaper. Gray did not have a prescription for either drug."
