Children Of Bodom s Alexi Laiho cause of death has been confirmed. The guitarist and singer died aged 41 on December 29 and his bandmates announced his sad passing in January.
Following his death, a forensic investigation took place to discover what led to the heavy metal icon s passing, according to Kimberly Goss, to whom Laiho was still legally married at the time of his death.
Children of Bodom co-founder, guitarist and frontman Alexi Laiho s cause of death has been revealed by his widow and former Synergy bandmate, Kimberly Goss. She said the forensic report confirmed the musician died of alcohol-induced degeneration of the liver and pancreas connective tissue and that he also had a cocktail of painkiller, opioids and insomnia medication in his system.
Laiho died in his home in Finland on Dec. 29 of last year, although news of his passing broke early in 2021 where it was noted that the rocker had been battling long-term health issues.
Goss, whom Laiho was still married to under Finnish law prior to his death (the two separated and Laiho later married Kelli-Wright Laiho, though the two parties dispute this status), stated on Instagram she is legally entitled to the forensic report before naming the cause of death.
According to
Billboard, Goss was still legally married to Laiho at the time of his death. Due to this, she was given access to the autopsy report. On Thursday, she shared a lengthy Instagram statement confirming Laiho died from “alcohol-induced degeneration of the liver and pancreas connective tissue.”
As well, the post, which has been translated from Finnish to English, also says he had a “cocktail of painkillers, opioids and insomnia medication in his system.”
“The loss of this extraordinarily talented and beautiful soul is a tragedy that was entirely preventable,” Goss says. “He had so many good years left in him. Imagine all the amazing music we could still be getting if he had just accepted help. I plead with anyone who is struggling with alcoholism or any other substance abuse problem, to please seek support. You do not have to meet this same fate. If people are trying to help you, remember that they are doing it out of love and concern, so please do not push
