Answer 1

In the early morning hours of September 18, 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.

Answer 3

he didn't die, he faked his own death. He was a genius who didn't like the way people worshipped him like a god, so being so intelligent he created a plan to make his death look like an accident. But there's a lot of controversy that he was murdered by some girl. this was part of his plan while people asked "who killed Hendrix" nobody asked "is he still alive?" he distracted them and made them ask the wrong question.

Answer 4

Officially he choked on his own vomit after doing too many drugs. Unofficially he pissed off the wrong people and died "accidentally". There is a biography that has the details, but I cannot remember the name of the book. It may be "A Room Full of Mirrors". It's worth checking out.

Drug overdose. I do not remember the choking on vomit stuff but that does happen a lot with overdoses.

Answer 9

He choked on his own vomit (basically he overdosed). I remember that day, as well as when Janis and Jim Morrison died, too.

Answer 10

Official cause, OD. Maybe the drug overdose caused the vomiting and he passed out and choked to death.
