Canadian punk rock guitarist Gord Lewis from the band Teenage Head was found dead in Hamilton, Ontario, though the police have not officially named Lewis as the confirmed corpse because it has been decomposing for “two or three days” before it was found.
The Hamilton Police Department is still investigating this case, but they have confirmed that “injuries with foul play” were noticed on Lewis’ body.

It was also announced that the guitarist’s son, Johnathan Lewis, has been arrested and charged with second-degree murder.
“We are heartbroken and still trying to process the loss of our friend, bandmate, and brother Gord Lewis,” his ex-bandmates said in an Instagram post. “Gord was a force and an inspiration to many. You were taken from us far too soon.”
Lewis was an original founder of the band along with Frankie Venom, who died in 2008, Steve Mahon, and Nick Stipanitz.
Jonathan Lewis may have revealed the death of his father himself, as a reporter at The Spectator received two emails from accounts connected to Lewis stating that his father was dead.
After the reporter called 911, a wellness check occurred where the body was found.
