The Rolling Stones guitarist was discovered unconscious in his pool in 1969
and died before doctors arrived at his home, Cotchford Farm. Though Jones' death was ruled "death by misadventure," others -- including people who were there that night -- claim that Frank Thorogood was responsible, either maliciously or by accident. Thorogood, who died in 1994, worked as a contractor on Jones' home and was allegedly fired by the former Stone the day of the incident. After reviewing new evidence, including allegations that police altered witness statements, the police declined to reopen the case in 2010.
