Ron Asheton, the guitarist for rock legends The Stooges, was found dead this morning at his home in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He was 60.

The Ann Arbor News reported that Asheton's personal assistant contacted police late last night after being unable to reach the guitarist for days. When officers went to Asheton's house in the city's west side they found his body on a couch in the living room. A police spokesman told the paper he appeared to have been dead for "at least several days."

Autopsy and toxicology results are pending and will likely reveal the cause of Asheton's death. Police do not suspect foul play.
