Until We Meet Again:
The Last Weeks of Jimi Hendrix
- by Caesar Glebbeek
Finally: the truth about Jimi's last weeks on Earth.
We will de-myth all the nonsense that's been around for 4 decades.
* Jimi mixed sleeping pills with alcohol? Nope!
* Jimi was covered in "red wine" when he arrived at the hospital: Nope!
Here just one example of a long list of BS matters (many from bogus "statements") published on the subject for 41 years: according to the dusty/rusty mind of Dr. Bannister, Jimi's shirt was full of red wine and vomit in the hospital; one problem here, doc: Jimi did not wear A-N-Y shirt!!
* Jmi died in the Samarkand flat: Nope!
* Jimi was dead "for hours" before he arrived at the hospital: Nope!
* Jimi was "murdered by his manager": Nope!
* Etc.
* Etc.

CLASSIC ERRORS GALORE
as found in an article titled Two riders were approaching... written by Harry Shapiro, published in CLASSIC ROCK magazine Hendrix 100% unofficial (2010):
"As you all know, you just cant believe everything you see and hear, can you?":
p. 71
Photo of the blue plaque (23 Brook Street, London): FALSELY claims that Jimi Hendrix lived here 1968-1969 (note: two years = 730 days)
A lie.
Fact Jimi moved in on 2 January 1969 and left the flat to live permanently in New York on 13 March 1969. Hence he was in the Brook Street flat for.....yep a mere 49 days. Count them!
Trixie Sullivan (secretary of Michael Jeffery): [Jimi] arrived and instead of going to the hotel he went to the flat as he says to pick up some clothes but I think he wanted to see how the land was lying. It seems that Kathy cooked a meal for him, and I know she cleaned the flat so thoroughly just before he arrived, that he decided to stay... (Letter to her boss Michael Jeffery, 10 January 1969).
NOTE: Jimi paid all bills for the entire contents in the Brook Street flat and he never saw his stuff again after he left and broke up with Etchingham, while all of Jimi's wonderful watercolour paintings were thrown into the dustbin...
p. 73
the Berkeley Community Theatre in San Francisco...
Nope!
Instead, that venue, as the name suggests, is in Berkeley.
pp. 73-76
The whole story of James Tappy Wright (roadie for The Animals; ran errands for Michael Jeffery) claiming that Jimi was murdered by his manager is pure nonsense, as duly confirmed by Bob Levine...
According to Wright, Jeffery told him the following: I was in London the night of Jimis death and together with some of our old friends from up North we went round to Monikas hotel room [sic], got a handful of pills and stuffed them into his mouth; then we poured a few bottles of red wine into his windpipe... I had to do it. Jimi was worth much more dead than alive....
James Wright: After Jimis death, Mike was able to raise a quarter of a million dollars to pay Leo Branton, the Jimi Hendrix Estates Lawyer, to buy out Jimis interest in Electric Lady Studios. It was becoming clearer that the $2 million insurance policy on Jimis life that Mike had arranged was being used to save himself from his debts.
All boloney! File: fiction.
<1> Jeffery was in Majorca, Spain, when Hendrix died in London as confirmed by Bob Levine, Jim Marron, and Trixie Sullivan.
<2> How did the murderer(s) know where Jimi was staying? The only known (official) address for Jimi was the Cumberland Hotel but after 14 September 1970 he didnt sleep there any longer since hed moved in at the Samarkand flat with Monika Dannemann.. Nobody from Jimis management knew where Jimi was staying from the 15th onwards.
Les Perrin (Jimis UK publicist): He just disappeared. We [had] been trying to reach him without any success....
<3> How did the murderer(s) gain access to the Samarkand flat? No break-in signs were detected by the police (note: the front window belonging to the flat at street level was equipped with security railings).
<4> How did the murderer(s) manage to force a handful of pills and a few bottles of red wine into Jimi? Where are the struggle signs on Jimis body (note: pathologist Teare failed to detect any)? Jimi was an extremely fit person. Flashback to 4 January 1968, Hotel Opalen in Göteborg, Sweden: Jimi flipped out and smashed up just about everything in sight in a room and it then took three persons just to calm him down.
<5> What brand of handful of pills did the murderer(s) arrive with and stuff into his mouth (note: pathologist Teare failed to detect them)? The murderer(s) arrived with Vesparax? What an ultra- rare coincidence!
<6> Wheres the evidence that the murderer(s) forced a few bottles of red wine into his windpipe (note: pathologist Teare failed to detect any red wine)?
<7> Where was Monika Dannemann when the murderer(s) arrived and committed their crimes? Making cups of tea for them in her kitchen?
<8> Where is the $2 million insurance policy on Jimis life that Mike had arranged? It does not exist. The only insurance policy Michael Jeffery had arranged (with Chas Chandler in May 1968) was for $1 million, but on the day Michael Jeffery died (5 March 1973) not a cent had yet been paid out. Whether it eventually was paid out (and how much), years later (since Michael left no signed will) to Frank Jeffery (Michaels father), is unknown.
At any rate, Michael Jeffery never used Jimis insurance policy to save himself from his debts for the simple reason Jeffery never got his hands on that money.
John McDermott (product manager, Experience Hendrix): Bob Levine called me recently [December 2010] and he was absolutely furious that Tappy Wright had suggested that Michael murdered Jimi or that he engineered Jimis death....
Bob Levine: Jimi was murdered!!??
Total bullshit... Dont believe a word of it!
Conclusion: Murdered by manager BS theory: dismissed.
P. 76
for my biography Electric Gypsy...
A lie.
Trying to re-write history; memory or eyesight problems, Shapiro?
Jimi Hendrix: Electric Gypsy: was written by Harry Shapiro AND Caesar Glebbeek as duly stated on the cover of each edition ever published.
p. 77
Photo caption: The Samarkand Hotel...where Jimi Hendrix died.
BS.
Instead, Jimi died at St. Mary Abbots Hospital between 11:45 and 12:15.
The Inner West London Coroners Officers Report Concerning Death (typed up on 30 September 1970 by P. Weyell of the Coroners office) states:
If deceased has been seen by any
legally qualified medical man, before
or after death, give name and address.
The details typed in the opposite column are:
Dr SEIFERT. Hospital,
before and after death.
p. 77
Walter Price [sic; hospital porter at St. May Abbots Hospital] told me that Jimi was never admitted. He was taken straight to the morgue.
BS.
Dr. Martin Seifert: When they brought Jimi into the hospital there was still some life left in him which is why we worked so hard on him. We wouldnt have worked so hard trying to resuscitate him if he was already dead.
p. 77
So the [new] inquest [into Jimis death] was not opened [in 1994]."
Correct, as officials were fully satisfied that the version of events of 18 September 1970 as stated under oath by Monika Dannemann given at the original inquest (28 September 1970) was the truth. That is why there NEVER will be a new inquest (no matter what the "anti M.D. camp" will ever throw up in the future).
NB For the record, Dee Mitchell wrote the following letter to Monika Dannemann on 4 March 1994: I have not have had any contact at all with Mrs Page, at the latest July 1992. There were several reasons for this, all serious to me and I believe I did the right things in severing all contact. I do not know, at the time of writing, what the Attorney General will decide, but for me, my personal conclusion was there was no mystery or cover up and I hope this is what will be decided.
p. 77
Monika and Jimi did go to the flat of [Philip Harvey] and they eventually left at 10.40 pm [22:40.
BS.
Jimi and Monika were there for around 1 to 1 1/2 hours (max.) only and they left the latest at 19:30, as duly confirmed by a neighbour that was tracked down as she found Monika Dannemanns blue Opel car blocking her garage: I wanted to drive to the cinema...so I asked if it could be moved. Out came Hendrix with a friend [Dannemann], and off they drove....
Since Harvey is clearly incorrect about the amount of time Jimi and Monika stayed in his flat, this also places serious question-marks over Harveys account of events as a whole, especially as Dannemanns about an hour account was already in the public arena in 1970, 25 years before Harvey came up with his five hours version....
Another very suspect part of Harveys account are the three bottles of red wine he claimed they consumed three in roughly one hour? Even if true, Day/Harvey/Ravenhill must have drank most of these bottles between themselves, as we know for a fact that Jimi rarely ever drank red wine, while Monika still had to drive her Opel in the busy London traffic back to her flat.
Suspicious fact: when wine comes up in connection with Jimi Hendrixs final days and death, its always supposed to be red. Yet, there isnt a single photo on file (and there are 10,000+) showing Jimi drinking RED wine. Instead, Jimi nearly always drank WHITE wine and only occasionally sipped some Mateus rosé.
Monika Dannemann: It is nonsense that we...stayed there for more than five hours. We only stayed for about an hour, which can be verified by several witnesses [including Gerry Stickells and Mitch Mitchell b.t.w.] who...[spoke by phone to] Jimi at our flat from 8:30 [p.m.] onwards that evening. Apart from that, all the events [as per Harveys account] which are asserted to have taken place in the young peoples flat are pure fiction.
p. 77
Later she [Monika] did take Jimi to a party [on 17 September 1970].... Others present included Devon Wilson, Alan Douglas and his wife Stella.
Nope.
Alan Douglas had already returned to NYC on 15 September 1970 and thus was not present at that party.
p. 77
Terry Slater who told Kathy that he and Monika cleared out the flat... Meanwhile the ambulance drivers arrived to find Jimi dead [sic] and alone [sic]...
BS.
Instead, the clean-up operation took place in the late afternoon (between 15:00 and 16:00), several hours after Jimi had been officially declared dead by Dr. Martin Seifert at St. Mary Abbots Hospital.
p. 77
Jimi had been dead for hours... [when he arrived at the hospital at 11:45].
BS.
Two very simple answers (which Dr. Bannister, H. Shapiro, and several amateur sleuths overlooked or maybe never even have heard about):
<1> If Jimi had been dead for hours, rigor mortis would have been noticeable.
<2> If Jimi had been dead for hours, lividity would have been noticeable.
p. 77
Every time Monika told her story, critical details changed...
BS.
Her story never changed. (bar a few minor memory lapse). Only the signed statements given by Monika to the police counts as evidence, and these statements are consistent. Hearsay, rumours and other BS thrown up by the anti M.D. camp does not count a single bit as it's not evidence.
p. 79
A bedroom full of drugs...
BS.
You were there, Shapiro, and saw this yourself? The only drug in the flat was a tiny block of hash (no big deal these days, but in 1970 cannabis was still classified as a Class A drug like Heroin. As a consequence, prison sentences were possibe for those caught in possession of hash) which was thrown out in the garden, two minutes before the police arrved in the afternoon of 18-9-70 to interview Monika.
p. 79
He [Jimi] was found fully clothed on top of the bed.
BS.
Instead, Jimi was naked. Ambulance chap Reginald Jones: Lying on a bed was a coloured chap; I didnt have a clue who he was then of course. I think he was completely undressed. Correct.
p. 79
The second point is that both the ambulance drivers...say that Jimi was in a real mess.
BS.
Ambulance chap John Suau: This patient was still alive, just, but he was pretty far gone... The bladder and bowels had not voided then and neither did they in the ambulance on the journey to the hospital... There was no mess in the ambulance caused by our patient....
p. 79
And what of Monika? As her story was crumbling in the face of new evidence...
Huh? Where is that new evidence, Shapiro?
I failed to find a single shred of it during my own recent investigation for Unil We Meet Again:The Last Weeks of Jimi Hendrix. And that is exactly why the AG was not the slighest interested in a possible new inquest. There simply IS no "NEW" evidence. And as such, there NEVER will be any new inquest.
As few as 9 to 10 Vesparax tablets (on their own) are sufficient to produce lethal poisoning. And that is why Jimi died.
Perhaps "If 9 Was 6" he could MAYBE have survived...but take 9 and you are DEAD 3-4 hours later - guaranteed. Hundreds of people went that same, tragic road...
So, no FBI, no cover up, no foul play, no murderer(s), no conspiracy crap just poor Jimi popping 9 sleeping pills.
Hence, the death of Jimi Hendrix is a closed book.
So high time to go back now and enjoy Jimis MUSIC!
Only that matters...
