7 minutes video from the programme: "Crimewatch" 1994
Lewis Brian Hopkin Jones (28 February 1942 – 3 July 1969) was an English musician and one of the founding members of the rock group "The Rolling Stones".
At around midnight on the night of 2-3 July 1969, Jones was discovered motionless at the bottom of his swimming pool at Cotchford Farm. His Swedish girlfriend, Anna Wohlin, is convinced he was alive when they took him out, insisting he still had a pulse. However, by the time the doctors arrived, it was too late, and he was pronounced dead. The coroner's report stated "Death by misadventure", and noted his liver and heart were heavily enlarged by drug and alcohol abuse.
According to BBC, the official version of events was that he took a midnight swim and drowned because of a cocktail of drink and drugs in his system. But investigations of the programme "Inside Out West" will reveal new evidence that casts doubt on the official coroner's verdict of death by misadventure.
The programme has obtained a medical report which appears to show Brian Jones was relatively sober on the night he died. It shows he had consumed the equivalent of three and a half pints of beer - not much for a seasoned drinker. And doctor's notes suggest the drugs found in his urine could be explained by a catalogue of prescription medicines he was taking at the time of his death.
The new evidence adds some credence to the theory that Jones' death may not have been accidental. There have been a number of conspiracy theories about the death over the years - most recently in a film called Stoned which suggested Jones was killed by a builder to whom he owed money.
