Brad Stewart aka Gidget Gein, a former member of Marilyn Manson’s band, was found dead in his Burbank home from an apparent drug overdose on October 9th.

Stewart, 39, was the bassist for Marilyn Manson from 1989 to 1993, when he was replaced by Twiggy Ramirez due to his drug use.

Stewart created the stage name Gidget Gein by combining actress Sally Field’s character (Gidget) from the 60’s television show, with notorious serial killer Ed Gein.

He went on to form the band the Dali Gaggers, which featured various displays of degenerate art, ideas, and post-punk styled songwriting.

Most recently Stewert had begun to execute art and fashion shows in Hollywood, California under the organized name Gollywood.

The Los Angeles Coroner’s office has not released details of Stewart’s death.
