Former Ramones manager and most recently a real estate agent "to the stars," Linda Stein, was found murdered yesterday. The character who shows Charlie Sheen apartments in the movie Wall Street was reportedly based on her, and Michael Gross published a profile on her in NY Mag in the early '90s. Mrs. Stein was also the ex-wife of music industry mogul Seymour Stein.
The NY Sun reports her body, which had "blunt impact injuries," was found inside of her 18th floor apartment at 965 Fifth Avenue (between 77th and 78th Streets) last night around 11pm. There was no sign of a forced entry, and the police have no suspects.
Her ex-husband Seymour Stein is the co-founder and president of Sire Records, the VP of Warner Bros. Records and a 1995 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee. He is often credited with inventing the term "New Wave" to describe that genre, and Belle & Sebastian even wrote a tune for him.

How long, do ya think, until we see the Law & Order episode of this?
funny, the story is about her death...and there is a big deal of letters talking about the husband....
Love Gothamist, but you guys have been blogging crime long enough that you should know that murder only happens when a a judge or jury says so. A DA can allege it or someone can confess to it. Until then, someone is found dead or was killed.
huh? a person is not a murderer until a conviction, but one can certainly be murdered without input by the criminal justice system...
i take that back. #3 is right...
If the police is calling this a homicide, then it's fair to say she was murdered.
