On this date in 1984 Maine native and hall-of-fame guitarist Lenny Breau was found dead in a swimming pool on the roof of his apartment building in Los Angeles. Investigators suspected foul play, but no one has been charged for the crime.
Breau was born in Auburn, Maine in 1941, and he first recorded at Al Hawkes's Event Records in Westbrook, Maine in the late 1950s before enjoying an international recording career as a versatile and virtuoso guitarist.
The restaurant Lenny's Pub at Hawkes Plaza in Westbrook is named after Breau.
