Original article here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7073241.stm
Linda Stein, former co-manager of punk band The Ramones, has been found dead at her Manhattan apartment.
A pathologist said the 62-year-old, who went on to become one of New York's leading estate agents, died from blows to the head and neck.
Stein, the ex-wife of Sire Records head Seymour Stein, managed the Ramones with Danny Fields during their 1970s heyday.
After parting company with the band in 1980, she went into property. Her clients included Sting and Billy Joel.
Long-time friend Sir Elton John told the New York Times he was "absolutely shocked and upset".
'Roller coaster'
According to the newspaper, Stein was the model for the agent who tries to sell Charlie Sheen's character an apartment in the film Wall Street.
Born in Manhattan, she worked as a teacher before a blind date with Seymour Stein brought her into the music business.
The record mogul would later tell Vanity Fair magazine their marriage had resembled "eight years on a roller coaster, and not always strapped in". Stein is credited with arranging The Ramones' July 1976 appearance at the Roundhouse in London, thought to be one of the key moments in the creation of the British punk scene.
Thanks Scott! Very interesting person indeed.Originally Posted by Scott Michaels
Yes, shit like this is really heartbreaking...
ther'es already a thread about this.

They should be able to find out who whacked her... such a high security building (cameras, whitenesses, etc...). Also, it had to be somebody she knew (no forced entry)... scary to know you are never safe no matter how rich and "protected" you are.

I hope whomever did it, is being haunted by Joey, Johnny and Dee Dee.
Sorry about that - does anybody know how to delete a post/thread or is that admin-only?
In your post, Scott, are you refering to Joey Bishop, Johnny Carson and DeeDee Doodlebop?????? LOL!

Do you think the lyrics to "Beat on the brat" was a premonition?
sorry... in poor taste but I couldn't resist. R.I.P.
Quite true in most cases...

Yeah this was definitely an inside job (thanks for the links!)... and I hate to say this (but I will) this woman could have played in the Ramones and nobody would have been the wiser, wow... she definitely didn't make it on her looks (which I respect).

Sounds like she was beaten to death.
Secure building with cameras and a doorman.
No forced entry so it was someone she knew and/or trusted.
Beat to death so there is lots of DNA.
I'd give it 5 days tops before a suspect is arrested.

Raul Diaz Bernal, the former assistant to "realtor to the stars" Linda Stein, is scheduled to meet today with detectives investigating 62-year-old Stein's bludgeoning death this week. Bernal worked with Stein at the brokerage firm Prudential Douglas Elliman and was fired after the two argued over a commission. The two-time cancer survivor and one-time punk-rock promoter was discovered dead on the floor of her Manhattan penthouse by her daughter on Tuesday night. Police believe Stein knew her killer and allowed him into her apartment.

Older woman.........watch out here.
I meant no disrespect. she was my mom's age. and it would kill me if anyone laid a hand on my mom in a harmful manner. that's all. again, I meant no disrespect.Older woman.........watch out here.
This was just posted on TMZ:
NYPD has just announced that they have arrested the personal assistant to Linda Stein, the former manager of the Ramones and "realtor to the stars" who was found bludgeoned to death in her $3 million 5th Avenue apartment.
NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said charges are pending against the assistant, Natavia Lowery of Brooklyn. Browne says the suspect has "made statements implicating herself" in the killing.
Stein was a pioneer in the world of punk rock. She was the ex-wife of Seymour Stein, the former president of Sire Records, who launched the Ramones, Talking Heads and Madonna.
She co-managed the Ramones during the band's heyday and is credited with bringing the group across the pond to Englan
Fox is reporting the argument was over pot smoke

That evil girl over in Italy who took part in the sex killing of an English girl---and now this. what's up with these violent young women? They;re like the new Manson girls.
I just read that on TMZ too. Hope they found who they were looking for.
Personal Assistant is Charged in the Death of Linda Stein

There is an article in the newest The National Enquirer(or the Globe)
The personal assistant didn't like that Linda always screamed at her.
Linda had even lost an arm and recently gained use of an arm by doing yoga.
any updates on this story ?? It seems to have fallen out of the media eye
Book her! Case closed!

From what I read, Linda was a hard woman to get along with and drove her assistant insane enough (at least momentarily) to beat the crap out of her.
Death Hag Extraordinaire
That is just nuts! If you have had enough of the insults then just go. Move on and do something new with your life. WTF is a yoga stick anyway? Is it like a baseball bat or something?From what I read, Linda was a hard woman to get along with and drove her assistant insane enough (at least momentarily) to beat the crap out of her.
I am a sick puppy....woof woof!!!

the lady obviously had some mental issues, a serial killer in the making perhaps? who knows... if she got away with it maybe she would have been known as the BBK (bitchy boss killer)
Yoga stick specs:
Yoga Danda, also known as Yoga staff is a special T - shaped wooden stick that is mainly used by yogis from ancient times for meditation purposes. This ancient meditation tool when supported under the armpits, regulate the breathing, hence often used prior to Pranayama or meditation.
I am a personal assistant & I am going to send this article to my boss - maybe I will get a raise?
I should buy one of those and keep it at my desk as a "reminder"....
Here's a good update from today

Male DNA mixed with her blood in the sink...
Hmmm
Renowned Death Hag
I like the way you think!!!!
It's so sad that this happened, it's very sad story indeed.
The Curse of the Ramones!
so sad, but on the news they said that ( as per the DA's office) that the other dna was only a speck.
i don't know. i do know i do not believe one word that comes out of the alleged suspect they have right now.... she was trying to open credit cards and accounts in Linda's name AFTER she had died... hmph
Hey 62 is no spring chicken LOL ASK ME!
what is the quote: "Poor ole Ramones, only the drummers left."
Renowned Death Hag
Don't all drummers explode eventually?
The Ramones drummer has toured the world with his one man Ramones memoir!
I saw him perform (2003)with an all girl backing band (for a drummer?) Video's and his own monologue as a type of Ramones Tribute show, quite bizarre really! Cus in 1980 I saw the Ramones in Sydney! Guess a whole band can vaporise in 20yrs!
Renowned Death Hag
I saw the Ramones in Los Angeles. When they searched my stuff when we went in, they took an aspirin away from me. I saw guys coming out of the mosh pit looking like they had broken eye sockets, and missing teeth, bruised with torn clothing, but loving life. Mosh pits changed a lot since I went in them. Oh, and the exploding drummer thing was from the "Spinal Tap" movie, they lost all their drummers that way.
Yep only too well know the entire spinal tap movie and the legend of its drummers
Only after things go to eleven, and freak gardening accidents.
Ooohh.. and little green globules....
And a mini Stonehenge haha!
Seriously agree with Neil its simply nuts or insane to kill your boss, my boss started shouting at me so I left the job! It was a good decision and I didnt have to face a manslaughter charge
Renowned Death Hag
I have Spinal Tap taped on my TV!!!! Hope I get to watch it this week.
One of the links says Lowreys next court date is April 24th.
She went to the ATM and withdrew 800 dollars from Linda Steins account after leaving the building that day.
Why don't people just quit jobs if they have become that bad, instead of bashing someone to death.
she was convicted last month of the murder
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/ny_c...er_after_.html
According to the book "Please Kill Me", Dee Dee Ramone, who was bi-sexual, had affairs with both Linda and Seymour Stein...
Betcha didn't know that!
