Hendrix looks likely now to have been murdered.
Jimbo died in mysterious circumstances (and no one knows who signed his death certificate).
Brian was likely to have been murdered.
I blame the CIA!
With Jim, sadly, it looks like he might've died totally by accident. Jim was no addict--but he was a recreational cocaine user. He never used heroin as he was incredibly afraid of needles. His health was actually recovering--He had lost weight in the months in Paris and felt better mentally and was even excited to come back to America in October 1971 and work with the Doors on a next album after hearing about the success on LA Woman.
However, his girlfriend Pam was a big time Heroin user, an addict. It's believed that he may have mistaken her heroin for cocaine, snorted it, and died, and she and several of their Paris circle helped cover up his death. Marianne Faithfull is believed to have known about it, or been around Paris at the time (she was seeing the same Count that Pam was cheating on Jim with, and this Count was big into H himself).
These pictures are the last photos of Jim alive. They were taken June 28th 1971. As you can see, he looks rather healthy and skinny. He died July 3rd 1971:
Great pictures, I read the book "No One Here Get's out Alive" years ago, back in the 80's, interesting take on the mistaken coke for heroin, I didn't know he was that big on coke, he certainly was a big time juicer, maybe that's what happened, I could never understand the cover up though with his death, why?????????????
From what I've read, Jim loved coke. Not as an addict but he had a high tolerance for the stuff. Coke and Booze were his passions in the latter years, whereas earlier (1965-1967/1968) it had been psychedelics. The drinking made him gain weight and gruffed his voice up, and the coke did God knows what. He had an accident around May 1971 in Paris while drunk, wherein he fell from the second floor of a building to the top of a car, and supposedly he damaged his lung and began thereafter having frequent fits where he'd throw up blood, but no one knows for certain.
The most likely story is:
"In Wonderland Avenue, Danny Sugerman discussed his encounter with Courson after she returned to the U.S. According to Sugerman's account, Courson stated that Morrison had died of a heroin overdose, having insufflated what he believed to be cocaine. Sugerman added that Courson had given numerous contradictory versions of Morrison's death, at times saying that she had killed Morrison, or that his death was her fault. Courson's story of Morrison's unintentional ingestion of heroin, followed by accidental overdose, is supported by the confession of Alain Ronay, who has written that Morrison died of a hemorrhage after snorting Courson's heroin, and that Courson nodded off instead of phoning for medical help, leaving Morrison bleeding to death."
Thus the cover up--She could've been held criminally liable, perhaps, for essentially letting him bleed to death.
"In the epilogue to No One Here Gets Out Alive, Hopkins says that 20 years after Morrison's death, Ronay and Varda broke silence and gave this account: They arrived at the house shortly after Morrison's death and his girlfriend Pamela Courson said that she and Morrison had taken heroin after a night of drinking. Morrison had been coughing badly, had gone to take a bath, and vomited blood. Courson said that he appeared to recover and that she then went to sleep. When she awoke sometime later Morrison was unresponsive, and so she called for medical assistance."
So basically it was Pamela's fault that Jim died, and it was a tragic accident. He wasn't ill, he wasn't depressed or suicidal. His junkie girlfriend let him die.
