"We had a sucker that you put down into his trachea, the entrance to his lungs and to the whole of the back of his throat. We kept sucking him out and it kept surging and surging. He had already vomited up masses of red wine and I would have thought there was half a bottle of wine in his hair. He had really drowned in a massive amount of red wine."
Bannister, who was the on-call registrar at the now defunct St Mary Abbots Hospital in Kensington on September 18, the day of Hendrix's death, has now backed up the roadie's theory, saying it: "sounded plausible because of the volume of wine" found in Hendrix's lungs and on his body.
"The amount of wine that was over him was just extraordinary. Not only was it saturated right through his hair and shirt but his lungs and stomach were absolutely full of wine. I have never seen so much wine."
"I recall vividly the very large amounts of red wine that oozed from his stomach and his lungs and in my opinion there was no question that Jimi Hendrix had drowned, if not at home then on the way to the hospital," he wrote in 1992.
"I had to do it. Jimi was worth much more to me dead than alive. That son of a bitch was going to leave me. If I lost him, I'd lose everything."
John Bannister, the surgeon who dealt with Hendrix at hospital, has said he was convinced the star had drowned in red wine, despite having very little alcohol in his bloodstream.
Wright claims Jeffrey told him: "I had to do it, Tappy. You understand, don't you? I had to do it. You know damn well what I'm talking about.
"I was in London the night of Jimi's death and together with some old friends... we went round to Monika's hotel room, got a handful of pills and stuffed them into his mouth... then poured a few bottles of red wine deep into his windpipe.
Describing the night of Jeffrey's confession, Mr Wright wrote: "I can still hear that conversation, see the man I'd known for so much of my life, his face pale, hand clutching at his glass in sudden rage."
Hendrix was alone in the room, lying on his back, with the gas fire on and the door open. There was no record of who had called the ambulance. His inquest recorded the cause of his death as barbiturate intoxication and inhalation of vomit, and recorded an open verdict.
Hendrix died in September 1970, aged 27. An ambulance crew found his body in the Samarkand Hotel, west London, in the room of a woman called Monika Dannemann, whom he had known for only a few days.
In his book, Rock Roadie, Mr Wright says Jeffrey told him in 1971 that Hendrix had been "worth more to him dead than alive" as he had taken out a life insurance policy on the musician worth $2m (about £1.2m at the time), with himself as the beneficiary. Two years later, Jeffrey was killed in a plane crash.
Former roadie James "Tappy" Wright says that Hendrix's manager, Michael Jeffrey, drunkenly confessed to killing him by stuffing pills into his mouth and washing them down with several bottles of red wine because he feared Hendrix intended to dump him for a new manager.
@colmhearne because you cant be a legend if you dont do drugs hah simply put i mean i know ppl are gonna say ohh he didnt die of drugs etc ha but really the drugs killed him lol thats why hes called ACID rock lol yuo have to trip on acid to comprehend his music ha..in my opinion he isnt the greatest guitarist of all time..theres no such thing as that i mean my friend can paly hendrix on guitar does that make him thegreatest too?lol no
i read two books on him and all i can say is that man had a life story like none other and he did not deserve to die. and anyone that dissagrees with me can go fuck themselfs because he is a legend
A former Animals "roadie," James "Tappy" Wright, published a book in May 2009 claiming Hendrix's manager, Mike Jeffery, admitted to him that he had Hendrix killed because the rock star wanted to end his management contract.[126] John Bannister, one of the doctors who attended to him in 1970 stated in 2009 that it "sounded plausible."
Your an idiot, also you left out the part in that article that reads "In 2011 Bob Levine, Wright's long term business associate and Mike Jeffery's assistant manager in N.Y., said he knows that Wright made up these stories to sell his book, that Jeffery didn't have insurance on Hendrix, but that he merely countersigned the Warner Bros. policy that Warner's had taken out as standard practice"
Hendrix was not murdered, Paul McCartney is not dead, and 9/11 was not an inside job.
you must be so old and embittered. so many things have happened to music since jimi hendrix died. some even influenced by him, from motörhead to the white stripes.
He made Elvis look like a PE teacher! Haha ridiculous! Jimi was the man and I still believe he was murdered by his manager! And yes the live at filmore is my favorite jimi era ever!!!
@HighwayChile992 the doctor that recieved hendrix that fateful day also said that on the hospital table that red wine poured out of hendrix's mouth and nose!! THe doctor also said that the front of hendrix's shirt and hair was saturated with red wine. I feel that had hendrix lived that tragic day and continued his music journey he would of been unstoppable in the guitar,songwriting and creativity of music...
@al18631963 Yep thats what im saying, a wine bottle was shoved down his throat and he drowned because of that.
No doubt!! He was moving towards implementing new instruments in his songs too, i.e., piano, congo drums, bells, etc. He did a lot for the music industry, but he had so much more left to give.
Both if the guys that did the stories on Jimi can suck a dead mans balls!! When Elvis died they said it with sympathy. Buy when Jimi die, they said it like he was a bum on the street! No racism here, but I just noticed that.
You're all wrong, he was already brain dead from Seconol poisoning, likely hours before his body finally gave out from axfixiation. I get so tired of people saying he chocked on his own vomit as if they're announcing it for the first time. I feel he died of being largely misunderstood in his time and the lonliness of cosmic awareness..
He drowned in his vomit. Autopsy results show he took 9 of his wife's prescribed sleeping pills. When the recommended was only half a pill. His wife claimed later in an interview that she drove in the ambulance to the hospital with him where he died, paramedics claimed they arrived at his apartment to find him unconscious and brain dead, with no sing of his wife. They rushed him to hospital, he died hours later.
@superandom That was not his wife. Jimi was never married. She was a girlfriend of his named Monika Danneman, a German ice skater. He did take 9 sleeping pills called Vesperax. Paramedics and police also said Jimi had obviously been dead for some time when they arrived. They put his time of death as several hours before they arrived on scene. Monika Danneman committed suicide in 1996, but she was not his wife as he had never been married. RIP Jimi.
jimi henrix, a man whos music came ahead of his time who died before his time had come. what a shame. if he had lived just a little bit longer then music nowdays probbably wuoldnt be so shitty.
there saying now that jimi hendrix was murdered they say that someone forced red wine down his throat and jimi breath it and went down his lungs. the doctors found red wine in his lung and now saying that he was murdered by his manager.
It could be the illuminati, but I believe it was manager who gave him I believe it was LSD of something like that as at that time he was depressed, and wanted to quit the band to create an ensemble of many drums, guitar etc. But the manager wanted him to die a guitar hero not a composer.
What's hilarious is the single coil pickups in Jimi's Stratocaster played through a raging wall of cranked Marshalls doesn't buzz as badly as this news video. LOL
There is some question as to what happened here. Jimi had some issues with his record company because of the release of a bootleg album capturing his work before the Experience. They wanted him to release an original studio album but decided to work with Billy Cox and Buddy Miles for Band of Gypsies. Kind of interesting that they didn't mention his military service.
Illumanati killed Hendrix, Cobain, Michael Jackson, Elvis and put that hit out on John Lennon. They would have got River Pheonix too but he overdosed before they could get to him. Beware the Eyeball in the Pyramid.
Asif they got his age wrong! Also, it was the paramedics fault who found him that he died! If he was put into the recovery possition he woulda lived apparently, i watched a documentry with Lemmy from motorhead talkin bout it, because he was all set to record a track with him before he died!
How can his blood alcohol level be so low when they found MADD amounts of wine gushing out of his lungs? MATTER OF FACT...How can wine come gushing out of your lungs if it's not put there? I don't care how much you drink... it's NOT gonna come out of your lungs! As well with the sleeping pills! The toxins never had a chance to digest in his system! HMMM??? FUCK MIKE JEFFRIES!!!

Co-intel pro quote "the explosive power and the wealth of rock", somehow people cannot and could not tie all this in, Jimi,Brian,Janis,Jim, Campus Shootings, Mlk,jfk,rfk, malcom -x and much more back to back. Jimi was too much of an influence and had too much power
jimi hendrix did not die from a drug overdose...he only did lsd and weed which u cnt overdose on.....he died from asphyxation.....choking on his vomit
The media never painted Elvis as a drug addict, yet he died from a drug overdose, as well. I guess that was because Elvis's music didn't have the transformational value of Hendrix's and his music genre wasn't "Acid Rock". I kind of cringe when I heard that term. The man was THEE precursor to HEAVY METAL, and was more REVOLUTIONARY than ANY other guitarist in Rock. Chuck Berry, Edward Van Halen, Steve Vai, John McLaughlin, etc, were all revolutionary guitarists, but not of THIS caliber!!!
there are so many things about how Jimi Hendrix diedknowbody really knows but what everyone knows is that. a short yet great carrer and then died a very tragic death. tTHat was forty years ago and i am 15 and i am a huge fan and i love his music. I think people should stop talking about his death and try topass on his wonderfull usic to the next generation. R.I.P Jimi
Who else hear read that he was murdered by his manager? It was in a biography from one of his roadies I think. He said the manager confessed to killing him, to get money from life insurance because he feared Hendrix was going to get a new manager... He put pills in his mouth when he was drunk and washed it down with bottles of red wine! : (
@ExcessiveHorse I've heard it befoe its a conspiracy theory and actually the reporters got it wrong. The theory of him being killed could possible true, but the accepted truth is that he overdosed on sleeping pills because he was not familiar with the dosage. I want to say he was in Germany at the time, but I could be completely wrong, so there ya go.
@devey28 yes, both of those are correct. Little details like that are often broadcast incorrectly when someone dies, because networks try to beat other networks and get the story out ASAP, so the get the best info they can as quick as they can, then put it out.
He died Caligula style. Two guys held him down while they held a gallon of wine over his head till he died. Watch the doctors interviews in the 80's they say there was a gallon of wine in him. He was worth more dead than alive his manager Mike Jeffries killed him
In case you'all are needing a label for "that news reporter", his name is Frank Reynolds. Anchored ABC in the 70's and died from hepatitis-induced liver failure in 1983. Wiki him.
wow u can tell how the reporter didn't give a fuck...I could read minds and that guy was thinking...Nigger,nigger,nigger,nigger.......He didn't wanna talk about a black guy,just look at those facial expressions of disgust.
He puked in his sleep and choked on his own puke and suffocated. That is technicaly and "overdose on alcohol" because if you didn't drink enough to puke, you wouldn't choke on your own puke. You fucking cunt. Fuck off.
Not to get technical, but when you drink enough that your body has to puke to get rid of it, it kind of is "an overdose" regardless of whether you choke to death on it or not. An overdose of Alcohol.
@yzfr1tony You sir... are a fucking moron... I won't even delete your comment because its so fucking riddled with scientific errors that it borders on comedic... and amuses me : D El oh fucking EL LoL

Reason why it is impossible that this was accidental-

It could be the illuminati, but I believe it was manager who gave him I believe it was LSD of something like that as at that time he was depressed, and wanted to quit the band to create an ensemble of many drums, guitar etc. But the manager wanted him to die a guitar hero not a composer.

What's hilarious is the single coil pickups in Jimi's Stratocaster played through a raging wall of cranked Marshalls doesn't buzz as badly as this news video. LOL

There is some question as to what happened here. Jimi had some issues with his record company because of the release of a bootleg album capturing his work before the Experience. They wanted him to release an original studio album but decided to work with Billy Cox and Buddy Miles for Band of Gypsies. Kind of interesting that they didn't mention his military service.

Illumanati killed Hendrix, Cobain, Michael Jackson, Elvis and put that hit out on John Lennon. They would have got River Pheonix too but he overdosed before they could get to him. Beware the Eyeball in the Pyramid.

Asif they got his age wrong! Also, it was the paramedics fault who found him that he died! If he was put into the recovery possition he woulda lived apparently, i watched a documentry with Lemmy from motorhead talkin bout it, because he was all set to record a track with him before he died!

How can his blood alcohol level be so low when they found MADD amounts of wine gushing out of his lungs? MATTER OF FACT...How can wine come gushing out of your lungs if it's not put there? I don't care how much you drink... it's NOT gonna come out of your lungs! As well with the sleeping pills! The toxins never had a chance to digest in his system! HMMM??? FUCK MIKE JEFFRIES!!!

You guys should check out Turtle Island Quartet. They just released a new album called, Have You Ever Been...? and all of the music is influenced by Jimi Hendrix. Check out this video about the release: youtube.com/watch?v=X-iKhTLovhs

ZeppelinFan6980 1 year ago
The media never painted Elvis as a drug addict, yet he died from a drug overdose, as well. I guess that was because Elvis's music didn't have the transformational value of Hendrix's and his music genre wasn't "Acid Rock". I kind of cringe when I heard that term. The man was THEE precursor to HEAVY METAL, and was more REVOLUTIONARY than ANY other guitarist in Rock. Chuck Berry, Edward Van Halen, Steve Vai, John McLaughlin, etc, were all revolutionary guitarists, but not of THIS caliber!!!

there are so many things about how Jimi Hendrix diedknowbody really knows but what everyone knows is that. a short yet great carrer and then died a very tragic death. tTHat was forty years ago and i am 15 and i am a huge fan and i love his music. I think people should stop talking about his death and try topass on his wonderfull usic to the next generation. R.I.P Jimi

Who else hear read that he was murdered by his manager? It was in a biography from one of his roadies I think. He said the manager confessed to killing him, to get money from life insurance because he feared Hendrix was going to get a new manager... He put pills in his mouth when he was drunk and washed it down with bottles of red wine! : (
ExcessiveHorse 1 year ago
@ExcessiveHorse I've heard it befoe its a conspiracy theory and actually the reporters got it wrong. The theory of him being killed could possible true, but the accepted truth is that he overdosed on sleeping pills because he was not familiar with the dosage. I want to say he was in Germany at the time, but I could be completely wrong, so there ya go.

@devey28 yes, both of those are correct. Little details like that are often broadcast incorrectly when someone dies, because networks try to beat other networks and get the story out ASAP, so the get the best info they can as quick as they can, then put it out.

He died Caligula style. Two guys held him down while they held a gallon of wine over his head till he died. Watch the doctors interviews in the 80's they say there was a gallon of wine in him. He was worth more dead than alive his manager Mike Jeffries killed him

He puked in his sleep and choked on his own puke and suffocated. That is technicaly and "overdose on alcohol" because if you didn't drink enough to puke, you wouldn't choke on your own puke. You fucking cunt. Fuck off.

Not to get technical, but when you drink enough that your body has to puke to get rid of it, it kind of is "an overdose" regardless of whether you choke to death on it or not. An overdose of Alcohol.
