Report: Late SLIPKNOT Bassist PAUL GRAY’s Child Born After His Death Can Sue
May 6, 2016, 7 years ago
According to KTAR News, the daughter of late Slipknot bassist Paul Gray can sue a doctor for the loss of her father’s companionship, even though she was still a fetus when he died, the Iowa Supreme Court ruled Friday.
The court acknowledged it’s the first time it’s had to decide such a case centred on the rights of a child during the time it is a fetus, but it cited similar conclusions in cases from Massachusetts and Wisconsin. The justices warned that it would be a mistake for anyone to try to apply the rationale behind the ruling to the abortion debate.
The ruling comes in a case centred on the death of Gray, who was found dead in a suburban Des Moines hotel room in May 2010. An autopsy showed he died of an overdose of morphine and fentanyl, a synthetic pain killer similar to morphine. He was 38.
