Linda Stein, the onetime co-manager of Ramones, was found dead October 30 in her Upper East Side apartment in Manhattan.

Stein, 62, who was once married to famous Sire Records head/Warner Bros. vice-president Seymour Stein, was found dead in her kitchen.

In recent times, Stein was well-known in show business circles as a realtor for high-profile and celebrity clients, including Billy Joel, Calvin Klein, and Bruce Willis.

Stein died from blunt-force trauma to the head. Police are treating the death as murder, and are continuing investigations. They say there were no signs of forced entry to her Fifth Avenue apartment.
