Charmayne Maxwell, best known for her work in the '90s R&B group Brownstone, passed away on Friday after what sounds like a freak accident. Police aren't exactly sure what took place, but Maxwell's husband, music producer Carsten Soulshock, reportedly found her bleeding to death in their home from an apparent cut to the neck. She passed away on her way to the hospital from a loss of blood. Police don't suspect foul play at this time, but they are investigating the situation that is currently being labeled as a "bizarre and freak accident."

While questions surround the incident, Maxwell's brother denied reports of a suicide on Twitter and flat out called a fake suicide note "B.S." Brownstone's biggest hit was the 1995 song, "If You Love Me," which earned the group a Grammy nomination.
