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.
