No minä kuulin Eric Burdonin version....
Jimi oli sen tyttökaverin kanssa kahdestaan hotellihuoneessa ja n. kl. 11 aamupäivällä tämä tyttökaveri sitten soitti Eric'ille ja kertoi hysteerisenä ettei hän saanut Jimi'ä hereille. Erkki oli käskenyt tyttöä soittamaan ambulanssin paikalle mutta tyttö oli viivytellyt ja ruvennut ilmeisesti siivoamaan pois huumeita. Oliko tämä tyttö sitten udelleen soittanut Erkille ja silloin tämä oli suuttunut ja vasta silloin oli soitettu ambulanssi. En muista oliko jimi hengissä kun haettiin vaiko ei mutta lääkäri joka oli ollut paikalla vakuutti ettei mitään enään ollut tehtävissä ja jimille laitettiin kelloaika.
Kyllä ne huumeet taisivat olla pääsyy kuolemaan sittenkin...ehkäpä tuo tyttöystävä olisi voinut kääntää historiaa mutta se on jossittelua...
 
" Later, the two of them went to a party where Jimi took a so-called "black bomber", a capsule containing amphetamine and a sedative. He also snorted some LSD. At 8:30 PM, they got back to Monika's appartment. There they stayed until 1:45 AM, when Jimi said he had to go to some people's appartment. He did not like them, he said, but he had to go. Alone. So Monika drove him there, and picked him up again at three o'clock. What happened during this hour, and the identity of the people is not known. They went to bed, and Monika awakened at 10:20 AM, the morning of the eighteenth. She failed to wake Jimi, and noticed he had taken nine of her sleeping pills. Vomit was around his mouth and nose. What had happened, was he had drugged himself so much his reflexes was not working. He had then got sick, vomited, and
failed to turn around, like a healthy person would instantly have done. The vomit then went back into his throat and was now choking him. But Monika did not know this. She called Eric Burdon, a friend, for advice, because she was afraid to call the ambulance. She feared Jimi would be angry if she got him into a hospital if nothing really was wrong. Eric told her to call an ambulance, and so she did. The ambulance personnel assured her Jimi was going to be alright, and she checked him into St. Mary's Abbot Hospital in Kensington, London under a false name. At 11:25 AM, September 18, 1970, Jimi officially died from inhalation of vomit.
The coroners office later stated an "open verdict", meaning the accurate reason for his death was unknown. Referring to an old quote of Jimi; "when I die, there won't be a funeral, but a jam session", a jam session was arranged, to wich both Noel and Mitch attended"
