singer from big brother & holding co.: some kind of cardiac problem i think
― goole, Tuesday, 23 April 2013 20:11 (eleven years ago) link
In The New Book Of Rock Lists (1994), Keith Moon's death (he OD'd on Heminevrin, a sedative prescribed to curb his alcoholism) is asterisked with "possibly a suicide." Haven't seen that theory anywhere else, though.

Doug Hopkins from the Gin Blossoms is a good one. Read a really good longform article written about him shortly after he died. Very sad, and a real loss to music IMO.

Johnny Ace? Heard one of those "on this day" bits on the radio Christmas Day, the story that he killed himself playing Russian Roulette. Just looked at the Wikipedia entry, which disputes that with testimony he was just showing off, telling everyone the gun wasn't loaded. Either way, pointing a gun at yourself and pulling the trigger seems like halfway to suicide regardless of context.
