Call for Rolling Stone Brian Jones' body to be exhumed


Tonight's edition of Inside Out on 成人论坛 One West at 7.30pm casts doubt on the official account of how Brian Jones from The Rolling Stones died.

He met his death at the bottom of a swimming pool at his home in West Sussex in the summer of 1969.

Brian Jones was described at his funeral in Cheltenham as having "little patience with authority, convention and tradition".

He was the driving force behind the early success of the Rolling Stones but his death came just three weeks after he had been asked to leave the band because of growing frustrations about his lifestyle.

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 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.

Now the Chairman of the Brian Jones Fan Club, Trevor Hobley, is planning to write to the Attorney General with a dossier of new information on the case.

He has spent the last three years investigating what happened to Brian Jones.

Trevor Hobley says: "The circumstances surrounding the death of Brian Jones, the police investigation, the medical profession that carried out the autopsy and also the coroner's inquest, there are certain flaws about all those four aspects of this crime. Because a crime it is."

Mr Hobley will ask for the inquest verdict to be overturned so the death can be re-examined. And he wants to take it one step further.

"Brian Jones is the silent witness that carries the exact cause of his death and the only way that we're ever going to get to the truth is to have Brian Jones's body exhumed. Distasteful as it might seem to some people this is almost an inevitable consequence of what I've discovered over the last three years," he says.

Notes to Editors

Trevor Hobley is available for interview.

Inside Out West is broadcast on Monday 6 November at 7.30pm on 成人论坛 One in the West region only. Digital satellite viewers can watch the programme on channel 986.

And the programme will be also be available for viewing on Monday after 8.30pm at bbc.co.uk/insideout.
