Excerpts from KNAC.COM Article:
KNAC.COM air personality Junkman just checked in with the following sad news:
"Just got a call this afternoon stating that my friend, former Kiss guitarist Mark St. John, died this morning from a cerebral hemorrage. He was 51.
I have known him for a long time. I roadied for his band White Tiger, and just spoke with him at the recent NAMM show.
As soon as I fid out more info I will let you know. My heart goes out to his family. A very sad day.
Junkie"

Wow what a bummer...he was a smooookin Guitarist! And for the short time he was with Kiss he turned that band on it's edge.
Fact is, Kiss would never have been able to do some of the high energy faster stuff if not for Eric Carr and Mark St John...great music back then.

Man, Mark St. John kicked ass on the Animalize album. My buddy used to take lessons from him when we were 13. Amazing guitarist. Just like Eric Carr...gone too soon. RIP.
