American Buddha Librarian's Abstract: In a careful review of the available evidence, prizewinning muckraker Alex Constantine lays out the damning facts: (1) Jimi Hendrix was drowned by the forceful introduction of wine down his throat while he had been rendered unconscious, (2) witnesses who knew the truth lied about the events surrounding his death, (3) the British and US press spread the story that he had died of an overdose of heroin without valid evidence in order to trivialize his death, and (4) his abusive and controlling manager, who first falsely claimed to have no knowledge of Jimi's death, then promptly hijacked his fortune and legacy, probably arranged the murder.
