RIP. They say no drugs were found at the scene.

There will be an autopsy.

Saw that, Metallica put a picture of him playing with James. Awful news indeed.

He had some kind of disease that affected the nervous system. I wonder if that was a mitigating factor

What does mitigating factor mean in relation to someone dying?

Yeah I posted that this morning before coffee. That's what I get for trying to sound smart, I meant that it might have been an aggravating factor. Or better yet just lead to. . . anyway I think you know what I mean

Sad. He was a hell of a drummer

I've seen Slipknot in concert twice, both times in the Paul Gray era. They always put on an awesome show. Joey was a big influence on a lot of drummers today in rock and metal, and will be missed.
