Son of Teenage Head guitarist Gord Lewis alerted media about dad's decaying body: report - New York Post

The son accused of murdering his dad, Teenage Head guitarist Gord Lewis, allegedly sent emails to various media organizations about the rocker’s decaying body and asking for help.

But police only knew to conduct the check because the younger Lewis had reportedly emailed media such concerning messages that a reporter alerted the police, according to the Hamilton Spectator.

In their Monday press release announcing the death, police said “a positive identification has not been made of the deceased due to the level of decomposition.” Hamilton Police did not immediately return a request for comment on the emails, nor did the Spectator.
