The Rock and Roll Book of the Dead
solves these mysteries and many more....

In the end, Hendrix was trying to leave his manager, Mike Jeffery, who had embezzled millions from the star. Jeffery, also a manager of the Animals, a former British spy and assassin, had extensive Mafia connections.

 • The year before his death, Jimi was busted by Customs in Toronto.  Did Jeffery plant the heroin on him? If so, why?     

 • Did Jimi take the fatal dose of barbiturates and alcohol accidentally, intentionally, or were they forced on him?

 • Why did Jimi’s mysterious “fiancée,” Monika Danneman, take hours to call an ambulance, vanish from their hotel room before the police arrived and, later, after a court judgment against her, commit suicide?

Jimi Hendrix

“I'm the one that has to die when it's time for me to die,
so let me live my life, the way I want to.”

DROWNED IN WINE

...Dr. John Bannister, the physician who worked on Hendrix the St Mary Abbot's, stated in his report, unpublicized until years later:

“Jimi Hendrix had been dead for some time, without a doubt.” The guitarist had no pulse, had turned blue, and wine was flowing from his nose and mouth. Bannister attempted to clear his airway with an 18-inch metal sucker but to no avail due to the quantity of wine in his stomach. Finding only traces of alcohol in the blood, the doctor hypothesized, “Someone apparently poured red wine down Jimi’s throat to intentionally cause asphyxiation.” His report concluded that Jimi had literally been “drowned” in the wine because he had first been “slipped a large quantity of barbiturates” which induced a coma.

Monika Danneman – who called herself Jimi’s “fiancée,” but whom others called a pathological stalker – had given him her Vesparax, a potent form of Seconal. Could the German skater have been working for his thieving, mafia-friendly manager, Mike Jeffery, whom he was about to fire?    

Attempting to intimidate Hendrix into submission, Jeffery had recently set him up for a heroin bust in Toronto, then had arranged his kidnapping at gunpoint. When his efforts to control his star failed, had Jeffery, knowing Jimi’s weakness for Nordic blondes, hired her to seduce his client and, in the end, to set him up for assassination?
