Paul Gray's Daughter Can Sue Over Slipknot Star's Death

(TeamRock Radio) Slipknot bassist Paul Gray's daughter October can proceed with a lawsuit against a Des Moines doctor over her father's overdose death, the Iowa Supreme Court has ruled.

According to the Des Moines Register, the first-of-its kind case will see October head to court against Dr Daniel Baldi for the loss of her father's love and emotional support - known as loss of consortium - even though she was still in her mother's womb when Gray died of a drug overdose in May 2010.

Justice Daryl Hecht noted in his ruling that Gray's daughter could still suffer the emotional effects of her father's death after her birth, making her claim eligible to be decided by a jury.

Hecht wrote: "Whatever deprivation of consortium she is currently experiencing is no less real just because she did not experience it while in utero." Read more here.
