Post Mortem Section Does Not Reflect The True Facts
Whoever wrote the Post Mortem section was deliberately deceptive because they misquoted Autopsist Dr Donald Teare as definitively saying Jimi's Blood Alcohol Content was 100mg per 100ml...I am one of the world's authorities on this subject and possess Jimi's autopsy sheets...The correct presentation of Dr Teare's autopsy is that he measured a 5mg per 100ml Blood Alcohol Content and entered it in the autopsy data sheet...As it is written, the "Post Mortem" entry is entirely misleading because it makes it sound like Dr Teare measured a 100mg Blood Alcohol Content and stated so...Dr Teare most certainly did not and, if the actual autopsy were properly reflected, the entry would have described the accurate circumstances of Teare measuring a 5mg Blood Alcohol Content, realizing it was too low for the assumed manner of death, and then making a special notation in the autopsy stating "I am estimating a Blood Alcohol Content at the time of ingestion of the pills of 100mg"...I possess Jimi's autopsy...Anyone can read it and see that Teare entered a special notation in a separate paragraph that literally said "I am making a special notation that I am ESTIMATING a Blood Alcohol Content of 100mg at the time of ingestion of the pills"...Not only does the entry, as written, fail to include this necessary context but it goes on to make it sound like Teare said Jimi had the equivalent of 4 pints of beer and would have failed a breathalyzer test...Teare never said that...Dr Teare committed some serious violations in his Blood Alcohol Content analysis in the autopsy...It needs to be found out if estimating a critical forensic measurement like the Blood Alcohol Content is legal or violates autopsy laws because Dr Teare was going by the timeline told to him by Monika Dannemann where Jimi ingested the Vesparax Barbiturate at 7:15am and died at 11:35am...If you read Kathy Etchingham's book 'Through Gypsy Eyes' she interviewed Dr Teare's successor, Dr Rufus Crompton, who inherited Jimi's autopsy from Teare, and he told her that the undigested rice Teare noted in Jimi's stomach "precluded any time of death after 5:30am"...Etchingham's investigation and petition to re-open the case proved Dannemann was lying about the happenings that morning as well as times...This information is reliably-sourced from published books so it creates an evidence path that is quite different from what is expressed in the "Post-Mortem" entry...Etchingham's confirmed 5:30am time of death by the London Coroner's Office's top pathologist in England (Crompton) nullifies Teare's entries because it is medically impossible for a person's Blood Alcohol Content to go from 100mg to 5mg in the less than one hour Jimi had the pills in him...This is confirmed by the reliably-published film source "A Perfect Murder" 2019 where British Pathologist Dr Atholl Johnston said Jimi only had 7 Vesparax tablets in his blood at autopsy...Since the manufacturer's product information published in Glebbeek's 2011 'Until We Meet Again' says that peak blood saturation is reached in an hour, and Jimi took 9 Vesparax, there being only 7 tablet's worth in Jimi's blood is forensic evidence of Jimi only having the pills in him for 50 minutes before death...So the problem here is both Dr Teare and the writer of the Post-Mortem section badly failed to reflect what the autopsy showed...If Teare had entered the correct times and interpreted the undigested rice correctly he would then look at the 46mg of alcohol in the urine and use it to determine a bodily alcohol digestion rate...Dr Teare would have followed forensic science and realized he was limited to the Blood Alcohol Level when Jimi took the 9 Vesparax tablets - which could be determined by digestion tables that result in 5mg at death...I believe the body digests 20mg per hour, so Teare should have determined that Jimi had no more than 20mg Blood Alcohol at time of ingestion of the pills and NOT 100mg...Dr Crompton also told Kathy Etchingham that Jimi did not have enough barbiturate in him to cause death...Monika Dannemann hired some German doctors to evaluate Jimi's death and they also told her the same thing - Dannemann: 'The Inner World Of Jimi Hendrix' 1995...Again - whoever wrote the entry says Jimi had a 1.8mg Blood Barbiturate Level...The autopsy quite clearly says .7mg was measured...This is not original research...It is commonly accepted logic applied to the cited known reliable sources and their accurate information...The current entry has badly spun the previous sources in to something that is quite misleading from the real facts... 73.107.206.24 (talk) 00:22, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
