Rock legend Jimi Hendrix was murdered by his manager as part of an insurance scam, a new book by one of former aides claims.

Hendrix choked to death on his own vomit when he was 27 – but the exact circumstances of his death have always been a mystery.

Interesting story, I wonder why the roadie waited almost 40 years to come out with it. If it is true it's good to see that karma caught up with Jimi's manager with a plane crash.

A roadie with a book coming out...
He quotes Jeffery as saying: ‘I was in London the night of Jimi’s death and together with some old friends ...we went round to Monika’s hotel room, got a handful of pills and stuffed them into his mouth ...then poured a few bottles of red wine deep into his windpipe.

‘I had to do it. Jimi was worth much more to me dead than alive. That son of a ***** was going to leave me. If I lost him, I’d lose everything.’
Sounds like an old Perry Mason, lol.

I find it a bit much to believe that any single person could "shove pills" down the throat of an able bodied man like Hendrix who psychedelically speaking was still a veteran of the 82nd Airborne.

Ah...there we go! Someone wants to guarantee their 15 minutes of fame! Evidently, the book isn't going to stand on its own merit, so some additional sensationalism is necessary. Marketing department to the rescue!
