Instagram How did Deven Davis die? The estranged wife of Korn's Jonathan Davis is dead at the age of 39. She passed away on August 17th. As of this writing, the cause is unknown.

2. She let fans in the house
In the paperwork associated with the restraining order, Jonathan claimed that Deven would “routinely bring home unsavory characters, including strangers. Some of these people are random fans of my music who she allows to come into the house, go into the master bedroom closet and try on my clothes.”
3. Drug use and abuse
Deven reportedly struggled with drug use for more than 20 years. She had been to rehab six different times. Jonathan claimed in the court documents that she was causing emotional harm to her kids as she was neglected them due to her drug use.
