Legendary KISS guitarist Ace Frehley died Thursday, Oct. 16, after his family decided to remove him from life support. The cause of death has now been confirmed as blunt trauma to the head resulting from a fall.
The Morris County, New Jersey Medical Examiner’s report states that Frehley suffered a skull fracture at the back of his head, a subdural hematoma—a collection of blood between the brain and its protective layer—and a stroke. His death was ruled accidental. The 74-year-old musician had undergone surgery to address the subdural hematoma following the fall, but the procedure was unsuccessful.
Frehley was a founding member of KISS, performing alongside Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, and Peter Criss from 1973 to 1982 before leaving the band due to creative differences and struggles with substance abuse. Earlier this year, he had spoken optimistically about his recovery from a serious arm injury, joking that a psychic told him he would live to 100. Frehley is the first original member of KISS to pass away.
