Numerous media sources are reporting that Paul Gray 38, long time bass player for heavy metal band Slipknot, was found dead in a Urbandale, Iowa hotel room this morning. In a band known for hiding their faces behind masks, Gray was known as “No. 2” or “The Pig.” Police said there was no evidence of foul play, and a complete investigation will be completed by Urbandale police detectives and an autopsy, including toxicology testing, will be conducted Tuesday by the Polk County Medical Examiner’s office.
One of the 3 remaining founding members of Slipknot, Paul Gray was born in Los Angeles, before his family relocated to Des Moines.
