I'm so sorry to say that a friend has succombed to Lyme Disease. Bill helped me out when I was at my worst and pointed me to many resources to help with my lyme disease.
But unfortunately he took his own life. He was only 59. He and his wife both had lyme. He was feeling better a couple of years ago and released a new cd and was ready to release another. This is so shocking.

The people who have made it so difficult to get diagnosed early and treated adequately are to blame for this. How can they sleep at night with all this misery and death on their consciences? Apparently they do not have consciences.
So sorry about the loss of this talented person.

Bill Chinnock, 59, a founder of E Street Band
The Associated Press
March 9, 2007
YARMOUTH, Maine - Musician Bill Chinnock, a founding member of what became Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, died Wednesday at his home, police said. He was 59.
Chinnock, a blues and roots rock stylist, had been suffering from Lyme disease and police said they were called to his East Main Street home by his live-in caregiver. Lt. Dean Perry would not comment on the cause of death but said "it is not of a suspicious nature." Chinnock's manager, Paul Pappas, told WCSH-TV, Portland, that the guitarist, keyboardist and singer-songwriter committed suicide.
A native of Newark, N.J., Chinnock was a key figure in the Asbury Park music scene that propelled Springsteen to stardom.
Chinnock moved to Maine in the 1970s. He made 13 albums and in 1987 won an Emmy for his song, "Somewhere in the Night." A duet he recorded later with Roberta Flack became a theme song for the soap opera "Guiding Light." His albums include "Blues," "Badlands," "Alive at the Loft," "Dime Store Heroes," "Livin' in the Promised Land" and "Out on the Borderline." In addition to performing around the country, Chinnock wrote music for films and television.
He had been living in Yarmouth for at least eight or nine years, Perry said. Copyright 2007 Newsday Inc.

I also find sad that all the local papers and his sister say that this is a result of a long struggle with Lyme and yet Newday leaves that part out?
