Kenny passed away sometime on November 21, 2008 when he collapsed in his bathroom. His death was similar to that of Layne Staley and Kurt Cobain in that nobody found him until 3 days later when Platinum Blonde drummer Chris Steffler said that he couldn't figure out why he couldn't contact Kenny to confirm that he was ready to reunite with the band. Kenny's sister found him and the way that he collapsed suggested that he may have died from a massive heart attack.
