Puñales y fama

Viva la conspiranoia. Viva la paleocriminología. Viva cada uno de los famosos muertos "en extrañas circunstancias".

En pleno "caso Jacko", ha aparecido una noticia sobre un músico que, para qué negarlo, está a años luz (por delante, por supuesto) de Mr. Jackson: Jimi Hendrix.

A doctor who battled to save Jimi Hendrix's life on the night he died has added weight to allegations that the rock legend was murdered.

Australian John Bannister said it was 'plausible' that Hendrix was killed 39 years ago by having red wine and sleeping pills forced down his throat.

A new book by James 'Tappy' Wright, a former road manager for Hendrix, suggests he was killed on the orders of his penniless manager Mike Jeffrey, who wanted to cash in his £1.2million life insurance.

Wright claims a gang broke into the London hotel room where the 27-year-old singer and guitarist was staying with his German girlfriend Monika Dannemann on the night of September 18, 1970, and fed him wine until he drowned.

Mr Bannister, 67, who was on duty at St Mary Abbots hospital in Kensington when Hendrix was brought in, said Wright's account was possible because of the large volume of wine involved.

'The amount of wine that was over him was just extraordinary,' he said at his home in Sydney. '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.
