Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley died of “blunt trauma injuries” to his head after an accidental fall, according to a report from the Morris County, New Jersey Medical Examiner (via TMZ ).
The guitarist , born Paul Frehley, died in Morristown, New Jersey, last month at the age of 74. At the time, a rep attributed his death to a “recent fall at his home,” though a specific cause of death was not immediately given.
According to the report, a CT scan of Frehley’s head revealed multiple contusions, bone fractures to the back of his skull, hemorrhages, and a subdural hematoma (the type of bleeding that occurs in a person’s brain after a head injury). Additional bruises were found on the musician’s hip, thigh, and abdomen. The report also noted that Frehley had suffered a stroke.
