Was Janis Joplin Murdered?
With 45 years having elapsed stories are emerging, just as they did with Jimi Hendrix, about Janis Joplin having met a violent end in her hotel room; two of the three major 27 year old rock stars of 1970 being intentionally killed.

Jim Morrison, on the other hand, was facing prison time in Florida and - most likely - planned his escape to Paris where - after his alleged "death" - was reportedly "put" in a grave that was too short, his passing not announced in Paris until three days after it happened, America not hearing about it until a few days after that.
REPORTEDLY
Could you imagine in the age of the internet the passing of a rock star not being front page news the moment it happens the way film star Heath Ledger's purported overdose circled the globe almost instantly?
Morrison may have planned this maneuver during the L.A. Woman recording sessions ...the last time the late Ray Manzarek stated he saw Morrison, with Jim showing Ray brochures on the Seychelles Island purportedly saying "A man could get lost here."
Rest in Peace, Janis
In September 1970, Janis Joplin was optimistic about her future. She neared completion of her latest album, Pearl, and was engaged to Seth Morgan, who reportedly lived off a trust fund
from his wealthy family. After a vacation with Morgan, Joplin and the Full Tilt Boogie Band would embark on a fall tour. With all this in the works, it was a shock that Joplin, 27, died in the early hours of Oct. 4, 1970 of a heroin overdose. (The last place she performed a full concert? Harvard Stadium, Cambridge.)
Joplin enjoyed working with the Full Tilt Boogie Band after stints with Big Brother & the Holding Company and the Kozmic Blues Band. Her first effort with producer Paul
Rothchild at L.A.’s Sunset Sound yielded memorable tracks like “Me and
Bobby McGee” and “Cry Baby.”
“She told me how much it was blowing her away working with him,” Joplin’s road manager John Byrne Cooke told Classic Bands. “Their work together was opening up her understanding of ways to use
her voice that were going to stand her in really good stead in the years to come. She was flowering. She expressed to me and to other people at
the time what she saw as the future. She was changing her view of the
future.
