We are still mourning the shocking loss of Metal legend and former Children of Bodom and Bodom After Midnight vocalist and guitarist Alexi Laiho, who died after a long illness earlier in 2021. Now his wife and closest friend Kimberly Goss (former vocalist of Sinergy, Avernus, Ancient), has revealed in a post on Instagram the cause of his death at just 41 years old. She wrote As his legal widow, this morning I received the final forensic report with the official cause of Alexi’s passing. The certificate reads in Finnish, “Alkoholin aiheuttama maksan rasvarappeutuminen ja haiman sidekudostuminen”. The English translation is, “Alcohol-induced degeneration of the liver and pancreas connective tissue”. Furthermore, he had a cocktail of painkillers, opioids and insomnia medication in his system.
