The circumstances surrounding Jordison’s passing added to the sorrow. Recordings of a 911 call made by Jordison’s ex-girlfriend, Amanda Victoria, shed light on the events leading up to the discovery of the drummer’s lifeless body.

She reported a foul odor upon entering the garage of Jordison’s home, and it became evident that neither she nor Jordison’s family had heard from him in days. The discovery of his absence and the grim circumstances that followed were a somber reminder of the fragility of life.

In honor of his memory, Joey Jordison was laid to rest in the Highland Memory Gardens Cemetery in Des Moines, Iowa. It was a poignant moment for fans and fellow musicians, as his final resting place was just a short distance from that of another founding member of Slipknot, the late bassist Paul Gray.
