Original Kottonmouth Kings Member Saint Dog Unexpectedly Passed Away RIP

Wednesday 14th October, 2020 by Chad T. Carsten | 11 Comments

We here at Faygoluvers.net are extremely sad to report that the original Kottonmouth Kings member Saint Dog unexpectedly passed away yesterday at age 44. This is not a hoax. We just found out about the tragic news via Saint Dog’s official Instagram posted by his official management.

From Saint Dog’s Official Management:

“Rest In Peace, Rest In Power to a true underground legend. 🙏🏼 Saint Dog aka Saint Vicious passed away yesterday in Southern California. Saint was a unique individual that had a profound impact on anyone he came in contact with. While Saint is no longer with us, his music will live on forever. Rest easy, King. Unfortunately, we have zero details regarding his untimely passing. At this time, please respect Saint’s family and legacy regarding rumors, cause of death, etc” – Management
#SaintDog #RIP #KottonnouthKings”

TMZ reached out to local authorities in Victorville, CA and released this statement:

“Law enforcement sources tell us … Saint — whose real name is Steven Thronson — was found dead early Wednesday morning at a friend’s house in Victorville, CA. We’re told SD’s buddy found him struggling to breathe in one of the home’s bedrooms, and called 911.

Our sources say once authorities arrived … Saint Dog was pronounced dead at the scene. We’re told there were no obvious signs of foul play — a cause of death will be determined pending an autopsy and toxicology report.”

Statement from Kevin Zinger of Suburban Noize Records:

“Anyone that knew Steve saw what a big heart he had. Some of my fondest memories was watching Steve stop the music in the middle of a Kottonmouth Kings show to bring a handicapped fan in a wheelchair on stage so that he could have a better view of the show and even join in singing a few songs. That was just the kind of person Steve was and he touched so many people in a positive way. His legacy will live on in his music and our hearts go out to his Son Max and his entire family, friends and fans worldwide.”

RIP Saint Dog :( Thank you for all the music for over 25 years! Another music legend gone too soon. To our readers. Please leave your respects below in regards to your favorite Saint Dog memories and lyrics.

Damn….this is a major shock to the system. First Pakelika, now Saint Dog, and I was hoping he would be apart of the new KMK album and have the 3 original Kings reunite for a full album together, but hopefully they have some verses with him done or some that were recorded but not used, like what Lord Infamous done, but still….damn, RIP.

“Unexpectedly Passed Away”

That’s bad writing dude…

Also, that’s a weak song to post. The subject matter isn’t very appropriate for this kind of thing.

Ever hear of the Saint Dog classic “Now I Lay Me”? That’s all I’ve been bumping.

Everyone better burn one for Saint Dog! Shit, burn two.
