The death last month of Kevin Dubrow, lead singer for the 1980s heavy metal band Quiet Riot, has been ruled an accidental cocaine overdose.
Clark County coroner spokeswoman Samantha Charles confirmed the cause yesterday (Dec. 10) after toxicology results were received.
Dubrow was found dead Nov. 25 at his Las Vegas home. He was 52.
Quiet Riot was best known for its 1983 cover of Slade's "Cum on Feel the Noize." The song, featuring Dubrow's powerful, gravelly voice, appeared on the band's album "Metal Health" -- which was the first by a metal band to reach No. 1 on the Billboard album chart.
