Bucks Musician's Death Ruled a Murder

The guitarist who performed with Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band was found dead of single gunshot wound

Authorities now say they are investigating the death of a musician found shot in his suburban Philadelphia home as a murder.

Fifty-six-year-old guitarist Daniel DeGennaro died Wednesday night at his home in Levittown, with a single gunshot wound to the chest. According to his website, he had performed with the band Kingfish as well as Clarence Clemons of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band.

The Bucks County Courier Times reports prosecutors say they are investigating the death as a murder. No additional details were immediately released, but an autopsy was scheduled for Friday.

District Attorney David W. Heckler said Thursday that a man living in DeGennaro's home found the singer-songwriter moments after the shooting.
