The family of GWAR guitarist Cory Smoot have confirmed that Cory died from coronary disease.
Smoot was found dead on the band’s tour bus on November 3 as the band reached the Canadian border en-route to a performance.
Cory Smoot was the GWAR character Flattus Maximus for 10 years.
A statement from the family detailing the coroners report today confirms North Dakota coroner William Masselo stating, “We have finalized the autopsy report and death certificate. I have determined that Cory died from a coronary artery thrombosis brought about by his pre-existing coronary artery disease.”
GWAR will continue as a four piece band.
