He had spent the night with his German girlfriend, Monika Dannemann, and likely died in bed after drinking wine and taking nine Vesperax sleeping pills, then drowning in his own vomit. For years, Dannemann publicly claimed that Hendrix was alive when placed in the back of the ambulance; however, her comments about that morning were often contradictory and confused, varying from interview to interview. Police and ambulance reports reveal that not only was Hendrix dead when they arrived on the scene, but he had been dead for some time, the apartment's front door was wide open, and the apartment itself empty. Following a libel case brought in 1996 by Hendrix's long-term British girlfriend Kathy Etchingham, Monika Dannemann took her own life.

A sad poem written by Hendrix that was found in the apartment has led some to believe that he committed suicide. More speculative is the belief that Hendrix was murderedâ??forcibly given the sleeping pills and wine, then asphyxiated with a scarf by professionals hired by either manager Michael Jeffery or the US government. The most accepted and credible theory, however, is that he simply misjudged the potency of the sleeping pills, and asphyxiated in his sleep due to an inability to regain consciousness when he vomited.

Sorry gumby, cutting and pasting from wikipedia was faster for me.



If you want, I can dicredit all of your friend's "facts" as well.

wikipedia isn't a factual source, it's comprised by people and it doesn't even give information about his death. I made no statement on what I thought, just posted a video that I found... perhaps you shouldn't be so willing to defend what you believe without finding out why you believe it...
