Paul Williams died on August 17, 1973 at age 34.

The cause of the death is he shot himself after being cut loose from The Temptations because of a drinking problem.

He was born on July 2, 1939 in Birmingham, Alabama.

we dont know all i know is he committed suicide

It was really never proven 100 percent that the cause of death was suicide... According to the coroner, Williams had used his right hand to shoot himself in the left side of his head... In addition, a bottle of alcohol was found near Williams' left side, as if he'd dropped it while being shot.... Finally, the gun used in the shooting was found to have fired two shots, only one of which had killed Williams.... Another thing he was not cut loose from the temptations because of his drinking problem... He was forced into retirement by his doctor after he told him he was no longer in stable health to perfrom... Many do not know this but Paul Williams had Sickle Cell Anemia making it very painful and hard for him to perform day after day...
