FLASHBACK: DAYS' Theme Composer Commits Suicide 1994

Tommy Boyce, 55, Singer-Songwriter

New York Times
November 26, 1994

Tommy Boyce, part of the singing and songwriting duo of Boyce and Hart who wrote "Last Train to Clarksville" and other hits for the Monkees, has shot himself to death at his home. He was 55.

Mr. Boyce's wife, Carolyn, found his body on Wednesday. He left a note, but the police would not disclose its contents.

Although best known for their songwriting, Mr. Boyce and his partner, Bobby Hart, also recorded some of their songs and had a Top 10 hit with "I Wonder What She's Doing Tonight" in 1967.
