Teenage Head guitarist Gord Lewis was found dead in his apartment in Hamilton, Canada last weekend. Police suspect the musician was murdered – and his son Jonathan Lewis is the prime suspect in the investigation. The information comes from the sites The Hamilton Spectator, Radio Canada Hamilton and NME.

At a news conference, Detective Sara Beck said her team was made aware of the death of a man in his 60s after several media outlets received emails containing the allegation. The messages had been sent by Jonathan himself.

Thus, the police went to Gord’s home around noon last Saturday (7); and, when they got there, they found the 65-year-old entertainer with bruises that indicated a possibility of murder.

The matter is still under investigation; however, his only suspect so far is Jonathan, who was living in his father’s apartment. The 41-year-old was arrested and criminally charged with second-degree murder, meaning Gord’s death was not premeditated.

“We are still looking for witnesses and reviewing footage from the area,” Detective Sara Beck added at a press conference.

Gord Lewis’ death was mourned by his Teenage Head colleagues on social media. “We are heartbroken and still trying to come to terms with the loss of our friend, teammate and brother Gord Lewis,” the group wrote on Facebook. “Our thoughts are with his family and all who knew and loved him. Gord was a strength and an inspiration to so many. You were taken from us too soon.”

The guitarist was one of the co-founders of the punk rock band, which started its activities in 1975. Among the band’s most famous songs are “Some Kinda Fun” and “Let’s Shake”. Listen to this second in the video below:
