Some of you may know that I do news for a news wire, covering stuff in the upper Midwest. The death of Slipknot's bassist in an Iowa hotel today came across my radar, here's a link to the Des Moines Register article about it:

I've got my own calls out to Urbandale police, I'll let you know if I hear anything.
