Hendrix death inquiry reopened
The attorney general's office said it sought the inquiry following a request from an individual, whom it would not identify, for a new investigation.
The original inquest recorded an open verdict, meaning there was insufficient evidence of the cause of death. A pathologist concluded that Hendrix choked to death after drinking and taking an overdose of barbiturates.
Hendrix died in London on Sept. 18, 1970.
