NEW YORK - The medical examiner has found that a punk music pioneer whose body was found inside her Upper East Side apartment was beaten to death.
The victim, 62-year-old Linda Stein, was discovered in her Fifth Avenue home on Tuesday. The medical examiner says an autopsy found that she died from fatal blows to the head and neck.
Stein was the ex-wife of Seymour Stein, former president of Sire Records, which was the launching pad for the Ramones, Talking Heads and Madonna.
A former schoolteacher, she was also co-manager of the Ramones. She's credited with bringing the Ramones to England for their infamous July 4, 1976, show, which is often cited as the start of the punk movement in Britain.
