Death of Marvin Gaye
Marvin Gaye was an American musician who gained worldwide fame for his work with Motown Records. He was fatally shot by his father, Marvin Gay, Sr. on April 1, 1984 at their house in the West Adams district of Los Angeles.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Marvin Gaye House )〕 Gaye was shot twice following an altercation with his father after he intervened in an argument between his parents. The wounds were fatal and he was pronounced dead on arrival at the California Hospital Medical Center. Gaye's death inspired several musical tributes over the years including recollections of the incidents leading to his death. Gaye was given a burial plot at Forest Lawn Cemetery and was later cremated and his ashes spread around the Pacific Ocean. Gaye's death was listed at No. 8 on VH-1/VH-1 Classic's 100 Most Shocking Moments in Music.
==Circumstances==
By 1983, Marvin Gaye had re-emerged in the public eye after a European tax exile with the hit song, "Sexual Healing" and its parent album, ''Midnight Love''. For a time, he had also achieved sobriety during his extensive stay in Belgium.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Marvin Gaye – American Way Magazine )〕 Returning to the United States, he embarked on his final grueling ''Sexual Healing Tour'' in April of the year. Gaye, who had a profound dislike for touring, returned to cocaine use to cope with the pressures of the road, and midway through the tour he developed paranoia over an alleged attempt on his life, wearing a bulletproof vest until he was on stage. In reality, however, there was little, if any, real danger, although while on the tour, road crew member Eric Sharpe committed suicide by hanging himself from a shower curtain rod in New Jersey.
When the tour ended in August 1983, Gaye retreated at his parents' residence at 2101 South Gramercy Place, a home which he bought for $30,500 in 1973 for his parents and several other relatives.〔 Gaye returned to the United States to nurse his mother, who was recovering from kidney surgery.〔 During Gaye's stay, his father was absent. That October, Gaye's father returned from a business trip in Washington, D.C. during which he purchased insurance on his family's previous residence. Initially, Gaye's sisters Jeanne and Zeola lived in the house before Marvin Sr. returned to the property and left shortly afterwards due to the growing conflict between father and son. For the next six months, the two men struggled to keep their distance from one another. Jeanne Gaye later told David Ritz that her father had told her if Marvin ever touched him, he'd "kill him".
On Christmas Day, 1983, Marvin gave his father a Smith & Wesson .38 special caliber pistol so that he could protect himself from intruders.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Domestic Dispute that ended the life of Marvin Gaye )〕 Friends and family members contended that the younger Marvin was often suicidal and paranoid and by now, he was afraid of leaving his room and spoke of little besides suicide and death. He sometimes wore three overcoats and put his shoes on the wrong feet. Four days before his death, according to his sister Jeanne, Gaye had tried to kill himself by jumping out of a speeding sports car, suffering only minor bruises. Jeanne contended that "there was no doubt () wanted to die" and that he "couldn't take anymore."
