Jimi Hendrix

James Marshal Hendrix was born in Seattle, Washington, on November 27, 1942; a 'black' American of African, European, Cherokee Indian and Mexican descent. His mother died when Jimi was 15 about the same time as Jimi began to take a serious interest in music and playing the guitar. When he was 12 he got his first electric guitar - the instrument which shaped the next 16 years of his life. At the age of 16, Jimi was thrown out of school …

…what to do. An ambulance was called.It arrived about 11.20 a.m. Hendrix was seated upright in the back with no head support.Sometime in the next twenty-five minutes before they arrived at St. Mary Abbot's Hospital,Jimi Hendrix choked on his own vomit. He was pronounced D.O.A. The pathologist reported a large amount of Seconol in Jimi's blood but no reason to assume that suicide was the cause of death. ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
