Lose Your Grapple If Stunned?

Howdy Folks - another clarification needed if anyone knows, I didn't turn up anything in either Basic or Martial Arts.

If you are Grappling someone, and they attack and cause you Stun (say from a hit to the face), does being Stunned cause you to release your Grapple?

Part of me thinks 'Yes', since you're Stunned; but part of me thinks 'No', because you don't drop what you're holding (like your weapon) when you're Stunned - and in any case, I'd prefer to ferret out the 'official' ruling than make a judgment call (not in my own gaming necessarily, but this is still for the examples project).

Thanks!

This is totally unoffical as I have no Au-thor-it-tay, but I would say that stunning causes you to lose a grapple. I wonder what the canon answer will be?

Look in the box on page B371 and you'll see "he rolls at -4"
