Paul Gray 1972 - 2010

On May 24, 2010, The Des Moines Register reported that Gray had been found dead in a room at the Towneplace Suites hotel in Urbandale, Iowa at about 10:50 local time. He is survived by his wife Brenna who was expecting their first child at the time of his death. An initial autopsy determined that no foul play or trauma was involved, but could not establish the cause of death.
The next day, May 25 2010, The Des Moines Register announced that, according to a 911 tape obtained by WOI-DT, bottles of pills and a hypodermic needle were found next to the body of Gray in his hotel room. On the same day, the band held a formal press conference in Des Moines, Iowa. They did not take any questions from the media. The band, as well as Gray's brother Tony and wife Brenna, paid tribute to him.
"He was kind of the person in the band that really wanted everybody in the band to always get along and just concentrate on the band. He was a really great friend and a really great person. He's going to be sadly missed, and the world is going to be a different place without him."
—Shawn Crahan

On June 21, 2010, autopsy results were released that stated Gray had died of an accidental overdose of morphine and fentanyl, and had also shown signs of "significant heart disease".
