Death
On January 1, 1953, Williams was due to play in Canton, Ohio, but he was unable to fly due to weather problems. He hired a chauffeur and, before leaving the old Andrew Johnson Hotel in Knoxville, Tennessee was injected with B12 and morphine. He then left in a Cadillac, carrying a bottle of whiskey with him.

When the seventeen year-old chauffeur pulled over at an all-night service station in Oak Hill, West Virginia, he discovered that Williams was unresponsive and becoming rigid. Upon closer examination, it was discovered that Hank Williams was dead. Controversy has since surrounded Williams' death with some claiming Wiiliams was dead before leaving Knoxville.

Williams' final single was ominously titled "I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive". Five days after his death, his illegitimate daughter by Bobbie Jett (Jett Williams) was born. His widow, Billie Jean, married country singer Johnny Horton in September of that year (1953).

Hank Williams, Sr. died in the backseat of his Cadillac while he was being driven to his next gig, ( not sure where) If you want to hear a song about it, listen to " The Ride" by David Allen Coe. It's a spooky hitchhiker story.

In Ohio in the back seat of his car. Alcohol and drugs!

Not sure, but alcohol was a contributing factor.

No, he wasn't in an accident. I think he just killed his liver.
