Jimi Hendrix was publicly announced to be dead due to choking on his own vomit while being heavily intoxicated. While this is the generally accepted story, there are many fans that believe it to be suspicious. Monika Dannemann, Jimi Hendrix’s girlfriend at the time, was the one to phone the ambulance when she found him unresponsive in the place where they were staying. However, her story changed a few times over the years, with new information being added and some parts of it being changed. Dannemann committed suicide later in life, and conspiracy theorists believe it to be related to Jimi Hendrix somehow. Another aspect of the story is that Jimi Hendrix had a fairly rough relationship with his manager, Michael Jefferey. Jefferey was scoring more money from Hendrix than he had any right to, and there was a large life insurance policy that he benefitted from after Hendrix died. The motive was there, and Jefferey had ties with the mafia. He also died in a plane crash a few years down the line, which conspiracy theorists find even more suspicious. I choose to ignore these theories. However Jimi Hendrix died, his music and legacy still lives on today. It’s incredibly sad that he died so young, but his substance abuse issues didn’t work in his favor.
