WENDY O. WILLIAMS DEAD AT 48
Seminal punk rock artist Wendy O. Williams has committed suicide. She was 48.
Williams' former manager and longtime companion Rod Swenson said he discovered
her body in a wooded area near their home in Connecticut. The state medical
examiner said Williams died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Williams' stage
theatrics as lead singer of the punk band The Plasmatics included blowing up
equipment and chain-sawing guitars. Dubbed the "queen of shock rock," she was
nominated for a Grammy in 1985.
