Prescription Drug Addiction Blog

The Associated Press (AP) released an article with transcripts from the 911 call regarding the apparent drug overdose death of Slipknot bassist Paul Gray. The hotel worker who found Gray and called 911 said "There's a hypodermic needle next to the bed here," and that there were "all kinds of pills everywhere."

Exactly what prescription drugs were present have not been released and autopsy results will likely reveal which ones were in the musician's body.

This is yet another in a string of celebrity drug overdose-related deaths in recent months and years. It is unfortunate that high-profile losses like this are needed to wake some people up to the realities of substance abuse, but for those who are addicted and ready for help, there are long-term drug rehab centers available.
