Once the wife of record mogul Seymour Stein, Linda Stein, the former co-manager of punk band "The Ramones," has been found murdered in her Manhattan apartment.
The New York Times reports that a pathologist said the 62-year-old, who became one of New York's top real estate agents, died from blunt force trauma to her head and neck.
Stein managed the Ramones with Danny Fields during the 1970s. Their relationship ended in 1980.
Stein then went in to real estate. Her clients included Sting and Billy Joel.
Long-time friend Sir Elton John told the New York Times he was "absolutely shocked and upset".
According to the newspaper, Stein was the model for the agent who tries to sell Charlie Sheen's character an apartment in the film Wall Street.
Born in Manhattan, she worked as a teacher before a blind date with Seymour Stein brought her into the music business.
Seymour Stein told Vanity Fair magazine that their marriage had resembled "eight years on a roller coaster, and not always strapped in".
