Death:Death by Suicide 7 December 1980 (Heroin overdose, in Hollywood, age 22) chart Placidus Equal_H.
American punk rock vocalist and songwriter, front man of the band The Germs who committed suicide by intentional heroin overdose on 7 December 1980 in Hollywood, California at age 22. His death was largely overshadowed by that of John Lennon, who was killed by Mark David Chapman in New York just one day after Crashs suicide. Crash/Beahm was depicted by his band mates as an "embattled and confused soul who struggled with drug use and his homosexuality." Despite his struggles, the musician was able to induce a cult-like adoration among his fans. He was featured in the film The Decline of Western Civilization 1 (1981) and his first solo album was recorded in 1979. Link to Wikipedia biography Read less
