What happened on Wednesday isn't clear but Thursday she describes as being taken up with shopping and taking photos. They got home about 8:30 p.m. Monika prepared a meal. They shared a bottle of wine and talked and played music until 1:40 or 1:45 a.m. when Hendrix said he had to go out and see some people. Monika could not go with him but she could take him there and bring him home. She picked him up again around 3:00 a.m. On their return to the flat, Monika made Jimi a tuna fish sandwich. The two of them went to bed and talked until 7 a.m. when Monika took a sleeping pill and fell asleep. Some time after, Hendrix took at least eight, possibly nine of the same tablets. Monika woke around 10.20. Hendrix was sleeping normally. She had planned to go out for cigarettes but just before leaving, she noticed vomit on Jimi's nose and mouth. She tried to wake him but couldn't and called a friend to ask 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. The cause of death noted on the coroner's report was inhalation of vomit after barbiturate intoxication. http://j.mp/emNfTz (c&p) That's damned sad stuff to digest on a cool Limpopo Saturday evening... now I feel drained. I wonder how Monika felt. [ Reply ]

Kokoloco53 Nov 29, 2011 - 07:23	Thanks for putting up the original album art. I searched for this album for years on CD until finally finding it in 2003 as a re release under a different name because the Hendrix survivors had a huge legal battle over this recording session, Jimi's last before flying on to the "New land of the rising sun". It's absolutely one of my favorite Hendrix recordings. [ Reply ]
