Slash's Stepdaughter Lucy-Bleu Knight's Cause of Death Confirmed: Hydrogen Sulfide Toxicity

New revelations surrounding the death of Slash's stepdaughter, Lucy-Bleu Knight, have emerged. It happens that Knight's passing was suicidal, with reports saying it was caused by hydrogen sulfide toxicity.

Slash, born Saul Hudson, took to social media to share how the sad news left him devastated. He then canceled four tour dates of his solo S.E.R.P.E.N.T Tour to grieve his loss.

Days after Lucy-Bleu Knight passed in July, her scheduled selfie alongside a haunting note with a suicidal tone was shared on her Instagram account.

The 25-year-old stepdaughter of legendary Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash "was found unresponsive in a private residence on July 19 by law enforcement conducting a welfare check" and was pronounced dead later that afternoon.

According to the Daily Mail, the Los Angeles County's medical examiner released a statement on Thursday disclosing that the effects of hydrogen sulfide caused Knight's death and that the "manner of death is suicide."

Hydrogen sulfide is a highly dangerous and toxic gas, and exposure to it can pose serious health risks, including respiratory problems, headaches, dizziness, nausea, loss of consciousness, eye and skin irritation, and even the ultimate price of death.

Knight's death left family and friends in a state of shock as they struggled to come to terms with the devastating news, as seen by their reactions on social media.

Moments after her passing was confirmed, a posthumous post that contained her selfie and a note appeared on the 25-year-old's Instagram account.

It read, "Whether I made you feel excluded, manipulated/ controlled you, told you to quit your day job from the comfort of being financially supported by my parents, or drowned real issues in toxic positivity-I am sorry."

"Countless missed opportunities and connections due to a disgustingly big ego, insecure heart, and fear of being vulnerable. May my soul learn to evolve from my poor job at being Lucy-Bleu. Peace."

Before her passing, she reportedly worked at Electric Lady Management, the recording studio's talent arm. Slash and Knight's mother, Meegan Hodges, first dated in the late 1980s before rekindling their relationship in 2015.

Knight was a skilled tattoo artist who often shared her work on her social media pages.

She also dabbled in painting and sold artwork on her personal website alongside other prints and accessories.

Some items were priced as low as $20, but most were between $300 and $500. Knight also had a piece titled "Love is Free Painting" for as high as $2000.

In addition to the items on display on her website, Knight also offered custom artwork if a customer was interested in one.

The "Orgy of the Damned" crooner took to his Instagram account to share his devastation at the death of his beloved stepdaughter at the time.

Sharing a selfie of Knight, he wrote, "My heart is permanently fractured. I will never ever stop missing you & remembering what a beacon of happiness, laughter, creativity & beauty you have always been ... & still are."

He continued, "The brightest light in the lives of so many that loved you so much. I find solace in the hope that you are at peace now. I will love you eternally."

In a post announcing her death on Instagram, he noted that Knight "passed away peacefully" in L.A. and said that the family "asks for privacy at this time and requests that social media speculation be kept to a minimum as they grieve and process this devastating loss."

The 59-year-old singer seemingly canceled a string of scheduled shows in Ohio, Michigan, and Ontario to properly mourn his stepdaughter at the time.

The message read, "Due to unforeseen circumstances, the S.E.R.P.E.N.T tour regrettably has to cancel the below performances. Refunds will be available at points of purchase."

"The S.E.R.P.E.N.T tour will resume in Toronto on July 28, 2024 at Budweiser Stage. We love our fans and apologize for any inconvenience this has caused," the statement added.
