From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Leech (December 23, 1934 – March 18, 2009) was co-founder of the Onyx Cafe in Los Angeles.[1] The Onyx, which was popular with writers and members of the bohemian scene, was a place, according to the Los Angeles Times, where "a lot of books were written and a lot of black was worn."

Leech died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
