Marilyn Manson’s former bass player Gidget Gein has been found dead at his home in Los Angeles, it’s been reported.

Gein, 39, who performed with Manson from 1989 to 1993, is understood to have died of a suspected drugs overdose.

The Los Angeles County Coroners office are expected to issue more details once Gein’s family members have been notified.

Gein, whose real name was Brad Stewart, was fired by Manson and replaced by Twiggy Ramirez.

He proceeded to perform with the band Gidget Gein and the Dali Gaggers before forming Gollywood.
