How did Hendrix Die? - Poll

[Genuine17]

Syd Barrett isnt dead yet...

[beachguy in thongs]

He died of a wine overdose or whatever his lungs like drowned.

Yeah. His lungs like drowned.
You can't drink enough on your own to have massive amounts found in your lungs. He must've been dead, or close to asphyxiation, while they were still pouring wine down his throat.

That's a nice thought, Erceg. Maybe it is a scam...

It'd be nice, but he wanted to share his Music with the world, and it would've evolved, causing Music to be changed, forever.

I think. :stoned:

My choice is a toss-up between Nixon and Jeffrey, but I'm almost sure it was Jeffrey. He died in a plane crash, in the 90's.

Monika Denneman committed suicide a week before a trial in which she was supposed to testify on his death and tell the truth...

lets just say i get inspiration and strange ways from ppl that might be dead in record books

Hendrix was not a very radical person, politically. He actually supported the U.S. military involvement in Vietnam well into the late 60's, which was a marked departure from the stereotypical radical/counterculture image of his peers. He eventually opposed the Vietnam War.

He was against violent uprisings and even wrote a song against riots called â??House Burning Downâ?�.

Members of the Black Panthers used to shake him down for cash after some of his shows.

Considering his reputation for taking barbiturates, in all likelihood he was just careless and his death was unintentional. The barbituate known as Secanol, aka Reds, is a very dangerous drug, and combining them with alcohol was stupid.

yep he loved his reds and booze and weed,mostly reds and booze,he like d to overdoze alot on cheeva as well,but he was coping with everyday life and had money and women and drugs and just had a hard time dealing with it all so he resorted to extra drugs and booze,we have to remember alot of ppl in music industry was pressured and what nots so he was not only one that did them selves in with there fame and notariety and nonstop partying,i havent heard reds sence the 70,s

I heard he was smoking a joint while drinking wine at the same time while his g/f was on the toilet and chocked on his vomit or something.

[erceg]

i once woke up in my rack in milatary and next to me was a dead marine that chocked in his own vomit,now look,there were lots of gi,s all around,he died in his sleep choking on his vomit and it only took seconds and not a soul seen it,and he was sleeping right next to me, linderman was his name,he was so drunk when he passed out ,no one even noticed him die,it is easy to die and choke on vomit and not get noticed ,till only after it is to late.it is so possable that many things might of happened.but to me he still lives along with other greats,shakespear

[beachguy in thongs]

How do all of these things explain the "massive" amounts of wine found in his lungs, by the medical examiner?

The Isle of Wight version of that song (16 days before he died) is the first song I'd show someone if they never knew Hendrix.
