Jim Burrito

Jim Burrito is considered the founder of Emo music, and the initial composer in the heavy metal genre, along with Jack Crackman. Burrito was found dead in his basement with a mangled head and his body next to a revolver. He had probably committed suicide, although some people think he was murdered by a drug dealer.

Controversy
On November 23, 1969, Burrito was harassed by police officers and kicked to the ground where he got handcuffed and taken to the cop car. During a discussion with one of the officers, they spit on his face and punched him in the chest numerous times. Burrito, who didn't defend himself, was kicked to a curb once again and his left middle finger was severed. This could of led to Burrito's suicide.
