how did jimi hendrix die??

Answer 1

In the early morning hours of 18 September 1970, Jimi Hendrix was found dead in the basement flat of the Samarkand Hotel at 22 Lansdowne Crescent in London. Hendrix died amid circumstances which have never been fully explained, and the exact details of his death will probably never be confirmed. He had spent the night with his German girlfriend, Monika Dannemann, and likely died in bed after drinking wine and taking nine Vesperax sleeping pills, then drowning in his own vomit. For years, Dannemann publicly claimed that Hendrix was alive when placed in the back of the ambulance; however, her comments about that morning were often contradictory and confused, varying from interview to interview. Police and ambulance reports reveal that not only was Hendrix dead when they arrived on the scene, but he had been dead for some time, the apartment's front door was wide open, and the apartment itself empty. Following a libel case brought in 1996 by Hendrix's long-term British girlfriend Kathy Etchingham, Monika Dannemann took her own life.

A sad poem written by Hendrix that was found in the apartment has led some to believe that he committed suicide. More speculative is the belief that Hendrix was murdered—forcibly given the sleeping pills and wine, then asphyxiated with a scarf by professionals hired by manager Michael Jeffery. The most accepted and credible theory, however, is that he simply misjudged the potency of the sleeping pills, and asphyxiated in his sleep due to an inability to regain consciousness when he vomited.

Reports that Hendrix's tapes of the concept album Black Gold had been stolen from the London flat are in fact wrong: the tapes were handed to Mitch Mitchell by Jimi at the Isle of Wight Festival three weeks prior to his death. Hendrix's Greenwich Village apartment, however, was indeed plundered by an unknown series of vandals who stole numerous personal items, tapes, and countless pages of lyrics and poems, some of which have resurfaced in the hands of collectors or at auctions.

Answer 4

The cause of death was clearly inhalation of vomit due to
barbiturate intoxication.

Information about Jimi's girlfriends and children

1972: Diane Carpenter loses her fight to have her daughter Tamika
recognised as Jimi's heir on the grounds of the time taken to
bring the suit and the lack of a blood test to identify the father.

1975:A swedish court rules in Eva Sundqvist's favour that Little Jimi
was the son of Big Jimi. She says she would never have brought
the suit had she not been threatened with losing her welfare
benefits if she refused to name the father.

Why his father couldn't bring back his body to the states?

The autopsy was carried out on Monday 21@September. But the
inruest, which opened on Wednesday the 23rd, was adjourned
for 'further tests' until the 28th. Jimi would never have wanted
to be buried in Seattle, but it was inevitable that, unless it had
been stipulated otherwise in a signed will, that was where
he would be taken. The day after the inquest on 28 September
, Jimi's body was flown to Seattle for what would now be
a private family affair.

Answer 5

He drowned in his own vomit. The media and the government tried to make out like it was due to a drug overdose because of their narrow minded outlook on things, but actually, it is a physical problem with which I suffered for many years that has nothing to do with drugs. In my case it was due to nerve damage, and I could never control when I was going to regurgitate. If I happened to be lying down, I could easily drown in my vomit as he did. They had to take me to the hospital twice for just that very thing and THOSE idiots tried to say I was on drugs too, and I had had none for years.

Answer 6

Choked on his own vomit after a night on downers and wine in Chelsea.
A total waste

Answer 7

He passed out from being drunk and drug and in the ambulance ride to the hospital he was on his back and when he vomited he choked to death on it

Answer 8

He took lots of sleeping pills and (while sleeping) choked on his own vomit. So sad. He was a great guitarist.

Answer 9

nicely, drowning in his own vomit, yet because he overdosed on snoozing pills by using mistake. edit: yet each and every individual knows he died because the Guitar Gods ascended him into their ranks.

Answer 10

Overdose, I think. Stupid way to die.
