4/26/2008 Lenny was found dead as mentioned above at the Langham Apartments (715 S. Normandie Ave Los Angeles). I lived there at the time in Apt#619. In viewing Google aerial images lately, it looks like they may have cemented up that great rooftop pool that had been there since 1927. Jewel (2nd wife) used to come over to my apartment to complain (get away??) about Lenny and for consolation. Sometimes, Lenny and Jewel would come over and it seemed like I was playing Marriage Counselor to them. At the time, I was single and 28 but have always had a knack for listening to people's problems and helping them. Jewel never showed to me the temper and language that I just found out about over the Web (yelling/cursing at him during one of his performances, if true). Lenny was more subdued. Jewel was a very attractive woman with shoulder length straight brunette hair. I just found an old photo of her ("Centaur" album-Joanne Glasscock--birth name) and as you can see by the album cover, she was indeed an attractive woman, although when I knew her in 1984, she was a slight "hip-y". It's been almost 25 years, so I can't recall the specifics of these "marriage counseling" sessions the 3 of us had. I was just trying to help "patch" up a marriage that wasn't going too well. The one thing I do remember, is when they found Lenny's body, the LAPD came to my apartment to ask me questions. I was nervous, as I had never been in that situation before. Physically, yes, I could see Jewel perpetrating the strangulation (or having someone else do the dirty work?) Granted, Lenny had a history of alchohol and drugs and presumeably Jewel had a temper history, so who's to say how his death played out. Just thought I would add my 2 cents worth on the subject for anyone's interest.
