RIP Joey Jordison

What the hell? How'd he die??

Those details have not yet been fully revealed. His family only released that he died peacefully in his sleep.
 
Didn’t he leave Slipknot because he was diagnosed with a nerve disease, maybe related to that?

well, that's freakin' awful, my sympathies go out to his loved ones. Dude was easily one of the best drummers of all time, and I'm not even a huge slipknot fan or anything.

:pout:

The guy had a lot of loved ones - not just those he was related to. Pretty much everyone he ever toured with or met loved the guy.

Yes. Before he was diagnosed, it got so bad that he couldn't physically drum anymore. It functioned similar to MS. He had been rehabbing and working hard to get back into drumming shape and he was pretty successful at it. Could certainly be related to that.
 
A statement by Sinsaenum (one of Joey's bands) included:

"Joey also had his demons, and nothing hurts more than knowing that we did everything in our power to help and couldn’t get through to him."

This suggests Joey's cause of death may have been similar to Paul Gray's.
