his survivors simply as "his caregivers and grandparents, Anita and Tom Kurth [and] other relatives and friends." After he left the Replacements, Stinson was never again a full-time musician, and he worked as a cook in various Twin Cities restaurants and hotels. Death Stinson died on February 18, 1995. According to the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Report, he did not die of a drug overdose (as is frequently reported) but rather frequent drug use caused his overall health to diminish, resulting in organ failure. His body was found in his Uptown, Minneapolis apartment, with an unused insulin syringe next to it. His obituary appeared in the print edition of The New York Times on February 24, 1995.
