I don't think it has put published or anything, but I've read it was of Layne out walking around.

According to Wikipedia:
Staley's mother owns the last known photo of Staley, taken in November of 2001, which features him holding his new-born nephew, Oscar. However, this photo has never been released to the public, and may never be, due to Staley's sickly physical appearance.

Some people have suggested that Nancy ought to show it in order to raise awareness or something, but I hardly think that's necessary.

Awareness? They have the website for that. And besides, she closed down his Fund. Just leave it alone.

This picture doesn't have an exact date, but it's been guesstimated at late 1996, because of his pink hair and the fact that he was still socializing)

And technically this is the very last recorded/published picture, post Grammy's 1997, since the one that his mother has will never be released.
So to recap, these two are from late 96/early 97. Over FIVE years before he passed. I can't imagine how much worse he could've gotten He looks like he weighs about 100 lbs here, he has the complexion of a cadaver and his teeth are already gone. He lasted another 5 years I still can't believe it. It breaks my heart. One sort of wishes that he didn't suffer in agony for as long as he did
(edited because the jerk below me accused me of spreading viruses, wtf Anyway i rehosted the pics. ALL SAFE NOW LOL)

To anyone reading this, don't go to the above posters website. Unless you want a virus, then by all means go ahead.
It's messed up to believe that the last picture taken of him was 5 years before he died. You would think someone would recognize him on the streets and snap a photo or something.

Re: Last Known Photo Of Him?
huh? why would that be a virus hub? It's just a blog, and it's not mine, you dumbass. they asked for pics and those are the latest dated ones that are out there.
I guess you didn't know, but he was a RECLUSE for the last years of his life. Maybe people did snap pics of him while he was nodding off on his balcony or at the corner bar, but if they did, they've never been released. And considering that it's been 10 years, i doubt they will be. There is an infamous picture that was taken two months before he died, where he was holding his nephew Oscar, it was shown at his memorial but his mother owns the picture and has said she won't release it.

Uhh, it's a virus when Norton pops up and goes "Hurr this dumbass posted a link to a site that has spyware." So what if it's a blog, that doesn't mean it's not immune to viruses.
No reason to get your child panties in a twist.
And anyone who knows anything about Layne knows he was recluse. It's wasn't exactly privy information.
Is the reason why you edited your second to last post because you realized the link was infected?

Re: Last Known Photo Of Him?
No, I edited it because you accused me of virus spreading, and you made assumptions and wrote that it was MY site. It's not my site, as i do not advocate drug use i would never have an URL named 'feel numb'. You were rude, and when someone is rude than I allow myself to be rude back.
The Op asked for pics, no pics had yet been posted, so I took them from that blog and rehosted them through tinypic. Since you accused me of being a virus spreading troll, I rehosted them so people would not feel suspicious or threatened by the links. I wrote that too, and if you had actually read it, you would've seen that.
Did I say it was a secret that he was a recluse? You wrote that you had a hard time believing that no one had snapped a pic of him in the last 5 years of his life. It's not hard to imagine why he did not have random pics snapped of him because he was a RECLUSE. He was embarrassed by the way he looked. if someone does not want their picture taken, it's pretty easy to not have your picture taken.
1. He left his apartment maybe twice a month on a good month 2. No one knew who he was. When he left the public eye, he fell into complete obscurity. He looked like a homeless 70 year old: arthritic, unwashed, ungroomed, severly underweight, and toothless. Do you take pictures of severly ill, mentally unstable homeless men you see shuffling around on the street? After he died, people who used to see him around his neighborhood said that they had no idea he had been famous 3. He made no public appearances. Have you noticed that every picture on the Internet is of him either posing, performing or making a public appearance, or in a few rare cases, pictures that his mother has released? 4. Iphones and digital cameras were not the norm 10 years ago. You could not just randomly and spontaneously snap pictures of every little thing you came accross.
It's not conspiracy theory, if you don't want your picture taken, it's not difficult to achieve.
