Let me briefly summarize the story surrounding his death and see what you all think. It was December 18th 1970 and Jimi Hendrix was staying in London with his new girlfriend at the time, Monika Dannemann, and had taken too many sleeping pills, and also had drunk more than usual. And just before this, Jimi Hendrix' career had been faltering - too many erratic displays from the sublime to the subpar - and combine that with a very expensive recording habits, putting his manager, Mike Jeffery in serious finanicial trouble.
So when Jimi Hendrix was rushed to hospital, mysteriously 2 hours after his girlfriend found him unconcious (why the very long wait to call the ambulance?), and later announced dead from choking on his vomit, many are now putting two and two together. Indeed, a former Animals "roadie," James "Tappy" Wright, published a book in May 2009 claiming Hendrix's manager, Mike Jeffery, admitted to him that he had Hendrix killed because the rock star wanted to end his management contract. And to make matters even stranger, the girlfriend that found was with him when he died 'committed suicide'. Does anyone else have any thoughts or insights into this mysterious death of Jimi Hendrix?
