DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- Police say the bassist for the Iowa metal band Slipknot has been found dead in a suburban Des Moines hotel room.

Urbandale police say a hotel employee found 38-year-old Paul Dedrick Gray dead in a room at the Town Plaza Hotel. Foul play wasn't suspected.

The Polk County Medical Examiner's Office plans an autopsy Tuesday.

Most Slipknot members grew up in the Des Moines area. The band, known for its grotesque masks, released its first album in 1999. It sold more than 1 million copies.

Very sad year for rock music.
He may have died, but his place in history will live forever.
R.I.P Paul, you will be missed.

Yea, \m/ RIP PAUL GRAY \m/... all the slipknot fans will remember you, for what it is today....

Yes may you rest in peace Paul, ohh! that was a great lost to all of those people who love Slipknot including my self, I wonder what would happen next to the band now that one of their member had gone.

RIP PAUL!

RIP Paul! It's gonna be hard to replace him.(if they do..)
