digl Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 Alice in Chains' Layne Staley was found dead in his Seattle home on Friday evening. The King County Medical Examiner positively identified Staley's body on Saturday (April 20), following an autopsy. Exact time and cause of death are pending, as laboratory results could take several weeks, a spokesperson said. Staley was 34. Police responded to a call to check on a person's well-being at Staley's address in Seattle's University District at 5:41 p.m. PT on Friday, according to the police report. Upon discovering the body, which is presumed to have been there for several days, officers called investigators from the medical examiner's office, who arrived on the scene at approximately 7:30-8:00 p.m., a spokesperson said. The body couldn't immediately be identified as that of Staley, whose longtime battle with drug dependency was a central component of his band's music — a dark and bombastic sound that continues to influence artists some 15 years after the group first formed. http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1453520/20020420/story.jhtml:( rest in peace Layne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
