Ron Asheton, the guitarist and bassist with The Stooges, has been found dead today (January 6). He was 60.

Asheton was found at his home in Ann Arbor this morning, according to police.

A cause of death is yet to be confirmed, although initial reports suggest that Asheton died of a heart attack.

Detective Sgt Jim Stephenson told local paper Ann Arbor News that foul play is not suspected. He added that Asheton's body was found on a living-room sofa, and that he appeared to have been dead for at least several days.

Autopsy and toxicology results are pending.

Asheton was a founder member of The Stooges, along with his brother (and drummer) Scott Asheton, Dave Alexander (bass) and frontman Iggy Pop.

Real shame only just found out.

R.I.P. Ron thanks for all of the great albums and shows.

Indeed!

Saw the Stooges a few times in the last couple of years, it was like lifelong ambition too see them, so only too glad i did!Unremarkably the twat who posted his passing on Kerrang.com said he was the bassist!

Morons!, stick to the Gaslight Anthem instead!!
