September 6, 2012, 11 years ago
As reported yesterday by KCCI, a Des Moines doctor has been charged with eight counts of involuntary manslaughter in connection with the deaths of several patients, including SLIPKNOT bassist Paul Gray.
Slipknot have issued the following statement:
"As the loss of our brother Paul Gray is still very fresh for us in the Slipknot family, this new development has us all in a state of anger and sadness. The fact that this person took advantage of our brother’s illness while he was in a position to help others has outraged everyone in our family. We can only hope that justice will be served so this can NEVER happen to anyone else ever again! Our thoughts go out to the families of the other victims. We plan to cooperate as much as we possibly can to ensure this tragedy is never repeated, and to make sure this man pays for what he has done.According to court documents, Dr. Daniel Baldi unintentionally caused Gray's death by writing prescriptions narcotics to a "drug addict."
Baldi's preliminary hearing is set for September 15.
