Nothing like an OD to screw up the rest of ones life, or end it.
SEATTLE - Layne Staley, lead singer and guitarist for the grunge band Alice in Chains, was found dead in his apartment, authorities said Saturday. He was 34.


Tests were required to establish the identity because the body, discovered Friday, had started to decompose. The King County Medical Examiner's office did not release his cause of death.

"It was natural or an overdose — that's the way it was determined by our investigators," said Seattle Police spokesman Duane Fish.

Police did not immediately release details on anything that was found at the scene, and a spokesman did not respond to several messages.

With Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden, Alice in Chains was one of the most prominent bands of the Seattle grunge scene of the early '90s. The group was known for its dark, menacing sound, which combined grunge and heavy metal, and often wrote about heroin.

There ya go Gonz-there's the population control you were talking about... Letting them take themselves out. What a waste.

I never really liked their music but am sorry to hear about what happened to him. The Grunge movement lost another one that helped make it famous.

Yep GF, it's sad but necessary to clear out the gene pool
