Allin promised for several years that he would commit suicide on stage during one of his concerts, but instead died offstage from an accidental heroin overdose on June 28, 1993.
Hoci Allin niekoľko rokov pred smrťou sľuboval, že spácha samovraždu na javisku, zomrel 28. júna 1993 na neúmyselné predávkovanie heroínom.
