Summer Of Death: Rolling Stones’ Brian Jones Was Murdered
IT’S the summer of death and we are made to remember that before Michael Jackson there was Brian Jones - the former Rolling Stones guitarist died 40 years ago.
Now Jones’s death is to be reviewed in light of new evidence. No, not a new Rolling Stones anniversary tribute. Well, not yet. New evidence of a crime.
Jones’ body was found at the bottom of a swimming pool at a house in Cotchford farm, Hartfield, East Sussex in July 1969.
Dead. End of story. Well, no. In showbiz no-one dies any more. The resting star just enters a new phase in their career development. And the Celebrity Police Force, the CFP, do so love meeting a star.
News is that the Sussex CPF have been handed new information on Jones’s death.
Back then, the coroner’s report stated “Death by misadventure“.
Jones’s lover, the Swedish Anna Wohlin (pictured), said she had dived into the pool and pulled him out and given him artificial respiration. But he died.
At the inquest, PC Albert Evans said that he had found at the scene a small bottle of brandy, a vodka bottle, a bottle of whisky and a number of containers containing different types of pills.
In the film ‘Stoned‘, the theory that Jones was murdered is explored. Stoned advances the not unheard but so far unproven view that the hapless ex-Stone was done away with by his disgruntled, one-eyed builder, the late Frank Thorogood…
A dead builder. A dead star. And a mystery.
A spokesman for Sussex police says the force has been handed documents connected with Jones’s death, prompting the review. Says the CPF’s publicist stood on the station’s steps:
“These papers will be examined by Sussex Police, but it is too early to comment at this time as to what the outcome will be.”
That’s right – the celebrity-obsessed police now issue press releases on showbiz stories.
Maybe they can now get to meet Keef, Mick and the lads?
The CFP always meets its man…

I don’t know if anything will come of this or not, but I do believe that Brian’s family and friends deserve to know what really happened, no matter how long ago it was.
This is for Margie….:) You don’t know me, but I joined the BJ fan club, Cheltenham, the last couple of years that it was in existence. I saw your name so frequently in the newsletters—and I recognized your tattoo in the above picture immediately! I always wanted to email you about Brian back then, but I think no one knew how to contact you by the time I joined the group. It’s wonderful seeing your name here! I’ve not seen you on any Brian forums….I hope you see this post, but I’m wondering…..:(

The world was never the same without Brian. Those of us who grew up watching him in the Stones will always miss him.

It’s not the “Sussex police” doing this. They are satisfied with the original coroner’s finding. It’s Trevor Hobley of the Brian Jones fan club. He hired a retired detective to review the case. Let’s be realistic. Unless they have gotten somebody to confess “I killed Brian Jones”, nothing is likely to come of this.

I think most of us suspected that all along but what good will it do investigating it now? Grandstanding by the police IMO.
