KISS: Ace Frehley's Cause of Death Revealed

The cause of death of KISS guitarist Ace Frehley, who passed away in October at the age of 74, has been announced.

According to the medical examiner's report published by TMZ, Frehley suffered a fracture to the back of his skull, a subdural hematoma, and a stroke.

The musician had been placed on mechanical support after a fall in a studio that caused a brain hemorrhage. He underwent surgery to drain the subdural hematoma, without success.

Frehley was a founding member of KISS from 1973 to 1982, along with Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, and Peter Criss.

In March, Frehley had spoken about his comeback after a hand injury, stating in The Aquarian newspaper that a medium had told him he would live to be a hundred.
