Hypodermic Needle, Bottle Of Pills Found In PAUL GRAY's Hotel Room

[GWAR654]

According to TMZ.com, the hotel employee who discovered the body of SLIPKNOT bassist Paul Gray on Monday (May 24) told the 911 operator he noticed a hypodermic needle and a bottle of pills in the musician's hotel room when he found the body.

In the 911 call, obtained by TMZ.com, the employee — a maintenance worker at the Iowa hotel — tells the operator that he suspects Paul died of a "drug overdose" and that it appeared that Paul had been in the room for "a while."

The employee also told the 911 operator that Paul's mother had called the hotel earlier in the day because she couldn't get hold of her son.

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

According to Des Moines Register, 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 arrested in Iowa in 2003 on drug possession charges when police found small amounts of marijuana, two syringes and a substance that field-tested positive for cocaine after he was involved in a wreck with another motorist.

If it turns out that he overdosed on hard drugs then I have zero sympathy for him. Messing around with that stuff is one of the stupidest things one can do. It really makes him look like an asshole too because he wasn't just living for himself at this point in his life, he had a wife and an unborn child. How fucking responsible of him.

I can't even fathom how people are even trying to begin to equate this with Dio.
