8 Rock and Roll Death Conspiracies: Was it Murder?

http://www.alternet.org/media/top-8-rock-and-roll-death-conspiracies?akid=13350.294211.XyasCo&rd=1&src=newsletter1040281&t=9

1. Kurt Cobain
Courtney Love is a bit like the Nancy Spungen and Yoko Ono of grunge rock; a woman so hated by a contingent of her late husband’s fans that a surprising number of them blame her for nearly everything that went wrong in his life. In Love’s case, this extends to literal murder, and involves an intricate conspiracy theory that posits she literally paid to have her husband killed.
2. Bob Marley
According to approximately 30 percent of stoners (I’m guesstimating here) Bob Marley was killed in a CIA plot to wipe out the world’s most famous revolutionary Rastafarian, lest his music bring the world together and create real social change. 
8.  Jim Morrison:
For nearly 40 years, the best known conspiracy theory concerning Jim Morrison’s death is that it was all a big hoax, a bit of fakery made up by the singer to escape the confining life of an international sex symbol and rock-and-roll star. Morrison, who was famously found dead in a bathtub in the Paris apartment he shared with girlfriend Pamela Courson, was supposedly seen by just three people in his post-mortem state (Courson; the couple's friend, Alain Ray; and the doctor who signed the death certificate) before he was placed in a sealed coffin.
jimi Hendrix is another rocker who died mysteriously.  I was surprised to see him not on this list.
