Guitarist RONNIE MONTROSE, who was found dead at his home in Brisbane last month, died from a self-inflected gunshot wound, the San Mateo County coroner said on Friday. The autopsy also revealed his blood-alcohol level was at 0.31-percent when he died - nearly four times the legal limit in California.

Montrose, 64, was found in the living room of his home on March 3rd holding an unregistered .38-caliber revolver. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Fans had speculated about the cause of his death after a spokesman from the Brisbane Police Department announced that it was under investigation.
