The cause of death of Slash’s stepdaughter Lucie-Blue Knight revealed

Lucy-Blue Knight’s cause of death has been revealed a month after her stepfather Slash announced she had died at the age of 25.

The Post exclusively reported that the Los Angeles Medical Examiner’s Office determined the makeup artist died from hydrogen sulfide poisoning. The manner of death was suicide.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, hydrogen sulfide is a toxic, flammable gas that can be fatal to humans upon prolonged exposure.

Symptoms of acute exposure include nausea, headache, disorientation or confusion, memory loss, balance disturbances, convulsions, etc.

The coroner’s office further told the outlet, “Ms. Knight was found unconscious in a private residence by law enforcement during a welfare check on July 19th. Death was pronounced at 1500 hrs.”

“An examination was conducted by a deputy medical examiner on July 22. The cause of death was certified on August 29.”

The Guns N’ Roses guitarist, whose real name is Saul Hudson, announced his stepdaughter’s death on his Instagram page on July 21.

In the heartbreaking post, he described Lucie-Blue as “a talented artist, a passionate dreamer, and a charming, loving, sweet soul.”

In a follow-up message on July 27, the 59-year-old rocker shared a selfie of Lucie-Blue and revealed how saddened he was by her death.

“My heart forever [sic] The fracture has occurred. I will never stop missing you and remembering that you have always been a beacon of joy, laughter, creativity and beauty. And still are,” he wrote.

“The brightest light in the lives of so many people who loved you so much. I find solace in hoping you are now at peace. I will love you always.”

Lucy-Blue was the daughter of Slash’s long-term partner Meagan Hodges.

Hours before his death, he shared an apology along with a selfie on Instagram.

He added, “Whether I made you feel isolated, manipulated or controlled you, asked you to quit your job despite being financially supported by your parents, or drowned out real issues with toxic positivity – I’m sorry.”

“Countless opportunities and relationships were missed because of an obnoxiously large ego, an insecure heart, and a fear of being vulnerable.”

She concluded in a cool voice, “May my soul learn to evolve from my poor job of becoming Lucy-blue. Peace🌷.”
