Death

Lewis died on 18 March 1994 in Los Angeles in what was ruled a suicide. The coroner ruled that he had jumped from a fourth floor balcony. The exact events that occurred on that day are disputed. The LAPD were present when he jumped, and what exactly transpired has not been agreed upon. Some reports indicated that Lewis had been stunned with a Taser after a hyperactive exchange. He was taking methamphetamines at the time.
