Overview
- The Morris County, New Jersey medical examiner’s report made public Monday rules the manner of death accidental and cites blunt trauma to the head from a fall.
- Imaging documented multiple contusions, fractures at the back/base of the skull, hemorrhages, and a subdural hematoma, with the report noting a stroke.
- Doctors attempted a hemicraniectomy to address the brain bleed, but the procedure did not restore Frehley’s condition.
- Frehley, 74, was placed on a ventilator after his September fall and died on Oct. 16 in Morristown, New Jersey after his family chose to withdraw life support.
- Private services were held in Yonkers with burial at Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, attended by original Kiss members, and a potential fan tribute is being explored by a family-approved organizer.
