In the 911 call, obtained by TMZ, the employee -- a maintenance worker at the Iowa hotel -- tells the operator that he suspects Paul died of a "drug overdose" and that it appeared that Paul had been in the room for "a while."
The employee also told the 911 operator that Paul's mother had called the hotel earlier in the day because she couldn't get a hold of her son.
Cops are still investigating Paul's death. Officials have stated that the death doesn't appear to be the result of foul play.

A musician from a s***bag metal band found dead with a needle? Shocker.
Never heard him.. but good riddance... selfish bastid...
People who keep getting wasted and dont care about nothing else...why should I care about their death... they did it to themselves...
shouldn't a 911 operator have some sense of urgency? the guy was taking his time.
Despite what the cir***stances are it's a tragedy. Instead of posting tasteless comments judging others, why don't some of you take the time to say a prayer for the guy's, family, friends, bandmates, and unborn daughter that will never see her dad!
Such a tragedy, he was good guy. It's terrible that if it was drugs that he couldn't get help. "Help" that could have saved his life and gave him the opportunity to live his life with his wife and daughter that is on the way. Nobody needs to judge this man. Instead of posting tasteless comments, take the time to say a pryer for his family, friends, and bandmates! He will be missed.
I hope if an emergency ever happens to me or my family we never get this dispatcher. Slow enough?
horrible 911 operator! Way to slow and uncaring. Not that he needed to be upset, but my god
