Biography
Baloff was left in a coma after a stroke in 2002, and died after doctors took him off life support. The Exodus album "Tempo of the Damned", on which he was supposed to sing, was instead dedicated to his memory.Trivia
In 2002, an Exodus fan by the name of Juergen Kappel (a paleontologist from an area near Muenster, Germany) decided to name a trace fossil of a previously unknown form after the singer. The new species, which Kappel came across during his research, was named Laqueichnus baloffi.
