Ann Arbor, Mich., police find no signs of foul play after being called to home

ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Ron Asheton, the guitarist for the Stooges whose raw sound helped inspire the first generation of punk musicians, has died. He was 60.

Asheton was found at his Ann Arbor home early Tuesday morning by police officers after they were called by an associate who had not heard from him in several days, said city police Sgt. Brad Hill.


There were no signs of foul play, and the death appeared to be of natural causes, Hill said.

I wasn't aware the Stooges had a guitarist.

I'd heard about this last night on the radio, but forgot to post anything on it...

Sixty is not very old, but I suspect he had some years of hard living in those 60 years. RIP. You broke some great new ground.
