Summary

Jimi Hendrix was one of the most influential guitarists of the 1960s. His Rock and Roll Hall of Fame biography says he "was arguably the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music." But the details of Hendrix's death on September 18th, 1970, are still unclear and widely disputed. The official ruling is that Hendrix had aspirated his own vomit and died of asphyxia while intoxicated with barbiturates, citing "insufficient evidence of circumstances." It was recorded as an open verdict. Was it an accident, suicide, or murder?
