Jimi Hendrix autopsy

Jimi Hendrix recorded his classic version of"All Along the Watchtower" on his 1968 album, Electric Ladyland.  Two years later, the joker's wine killed him.

On September 17, 1970, Hendrix drank glass after glass of red wine at a hip party in London.  He left the part with his girlfriend, Monika Dannemann, and went back to her flat, where he swallowed a handful of her sleeping pills, Vesperax.  The next morning he was dead.

Vesperax is a powerful sedative containing a combination of barbiturates and an antihistamine.  Barbituates are powerful CNS depressants that enhance GABA and inhibit glutamate.
