Dee Dee Ramone, a founding member of US punk band the Ramones, has been found dead of a possible drug overdose in his Hollywood home.
Ramone, 50, whose real name was Douglas Glenn Colvin, was found dead by his wife after she returned home late on Wednesday.
“The investigator noted drug paraphernalia, including a single syringe on the kitchen counter, and we are handing it as a possible accidental overdose,” Craig Harvey, operations chief for the coroner’s office, said. An autopsy is planned for later.
The death comes 11 weeks after the band was celebrated with induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Lead singer Joey Ramone died in April of last year of lymphoma, a form of cancer. He was 49.
