Slash’s Stepdaughter Lucy-Bleu Knight’s Cause of Death Revealed

While performing alongside numerous groups like Guns N’ Roses, Slash also looked to pave his own career in the music industry. He first released his solo album Slash back in 2010. And now, 14 years later, he released his second solo album Orgy of the Damned. With fans loving the new album, the rockstar wanted to hit the road and celebrate his career. But sadly, the guitarist ended up taking a break after his stepdaughter, Lucy-Bleu Knight, passed away. Mourning her death, the medical examiner just released the cause of death.

On Thursday, the County of Los Angeles Department of Medical Examiner released what caused Knight to pass away at 25. According to the medical examiner, she passed away due to hydrogen sulfide. The gas often smells like rotten eggs and large amounts of the colorless gas can be deadly. The department “determined the cause of death for 25-year-old Lucy-Bleu Knight as hydrogen sulfide toxicity.” The report added, “The manner of death is suicide.”
