Her husband, music producer Carsten Soulshock, returned home and found her "bleeding profusely, but still had pulse." He then called police and paramedics rushed her to Cedars Sinai Hospital. However, she passed away on the way to the hospital because she lost too much blood.
The police officials said that it was a broken wine glass that cut Charmayne's neck. Detectives reportedly didn't suspect foul play.
Charmayne's group Brownstone was signed to Michael Jackson's MJJ Music Label in 1994. Their biggest hit "If You Love Me" won a Billboard Music Award and was nominated for a Grammy for best R&B performance.
