AceShowbiz - Over a month ago, legendary Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash's stepdaughter, Lucy-Bleu Knight, passed away at the age of 25. The cause of death has now been revealed by the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner.
According to the statement released by the medical examiner on Thursday, August 29, Knight died from hydrogen sulfide toxicity. The manner of death was determined to be suicide. The examination of Knight's body was conducted on July 22, and a full report is expected to be released on September 10.
Slash confirmed his stepdaughter's passing in a heartbreaking Instagram post on July 21, describing her as "an incredibly talented artist, a passionate dreamer, and a charming, lovable, sweet soul."
Knight was found unresponsive in a private residence in Los Angeles on July 19 by law enforcement conducting a welfare check. She was the daughter of Slash's longtime partner, Meegan Hodges, with whom he had reconnected after an initial relationship in the late 1980s.
In a subsequent Instagram post, Slash shared a selfie of Lucy-Bleu, expressing his profound grief and the immeasurable void left by her loss.
Hours before her tragic death, Knight shared an emotional message on Instagram, apologizing for past hurts inflicted on others. Slash canceled four dates of his solo S.E.R.P.E.N.T Tour due to the devastating circumstances, with the tour resuming on July 28.
