In 2024 alone, Knight was hospitalized twice on 5150 psychiatric holds, meaning she was involuntarily detained for 72 hours in the midst of a mental health crisis.

The report said Slash's stepdaughter's body was recovered from the bathroom of the Los Angeles Airbnb she had booked for four days after she was supposed to check in on July 15 and the property manager was "unable to access the front door" or get a hold of Knight despite messaging her numerous times.

After four days of unsuccessful attempts to get inside or in touch with Knight, the Airbnb owner called 911.

When emergency services arrived at the scene on July 19, they "noticed resistance they described as 'suction' when opening the front door of the unit," per the coroner's report.

"Upon opening the locked door, Officers observed a hand-written sign apparently meant for first responders warning about toxic gas," the explanation mentioned of a warning assumably left by Knight. "A chemical scent was also detected by Officers, who immediately backed out of the residence and called for assistance."

At this point, Fire Department Squad 87 Hazmat Unit took over the situation before recovering lethal doses of sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, cerium hydroxide and sodium thiosulfate. Antidepressants, including escitalopram, were also discovered inside of Knight’s wallet.
