Since Jonathan Davis’ ex-wife, Deven Davis, passed away at the age of 39, only a couple of years after their divorce, her death caused a lot of talk in the media. But the details of the incident and what led to it became public in the following months.
The Couple’s Marriage
Jonathan and Deven got married in Hawaii four years after the singer’s first marriage to Renee Perez ended in 2000. They welcomed two sons named Pirate and Zeppelin throughout their relationship, but Deven’s personal problems led to a breakup more than twelve years later.
The Divorce And The Restraining Order
In October 2016, Jonathan Davis filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. Later, he got a restraining order against Deven to stop her from getting in contact with their sons. While the singer claimed that his ex-wife was addicted to drugs and was neglecting their kids, court documents showed that she was in a relationship with a drug dealer and keeping drugs in her home.
Deven Davis’ Death
Deven’s death made the headlines on August 17, 2018, a few months after the restraining order, but the cause didn’t become public until October 2018. Reports shared by TMZ revealed that she died of a mix of drugs, including heroin, clonazepam, topiramate, and fluoxetine. The medical examiners ruled her death as an accident.
The Frontman’s Message About His Late Wife
Before the details of her death were known, Jonathan Davis made an explanation of Deven’s condition before her death by writing on X. The Korn vocalist revealed that his late ex-wife had ‘a serious mental illness’ that caused her addiction but couldn’t get help. He also shared that he wanted ‘her story to inspire people to reach out for help.’
