An ambulance was called and Jackson was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was officially pronounced dead.

They say there wasn't even a priest at the funeral. Well, the last fact is like icing on the cake: no one knows the name of the doctor who examined Morrison's death, because... Kurson claims he can't remember his name.

13. Bruce Lee

Brice Lee first felt seriously ill on May 10, 1973, while filming Enter the Dragon. He was rushed to hospital as he suffered from severe headaches and seizures.

He complained about this to his partner film set, Betty Ting Pei, and she gave him an Equagestic headache pill; the tablet contained aspirin and the tranquilizer meprobamate. Later, Lee lay down to rest, but no matter how much they woke him up, he never woke up. When Bruce Lee died, all the media talked about it tragic event, there was no end to rumors and speculation.

Officially, it was a “death due to negligence”: the drug included in the pill was not compatible with Lee’s disease, and caused a fatal reaction.

12. Brittany Murphy

The investigation into the tragic death of Brittany Murphy has certainly left more questions than answers. Murphy passed out in the bathroom of her Los Angeles home on the morning of December 20, 2009. She was immediately taken to the nearest hospital, but doctors could only declare her death after suffering a heart attack. Murphy was only 32 years old. At first, her death was explained only by an unfortunate combination of circumstances - pneumonia and taking medications against the background of anemia, which in this combination led to death. However, conspiracy theories later emerged, largely centered on the fact that her husband, Simon Monjack, died just five months after Brittany, and with very similar symptoms. In 2013, Brittany Murphy's father initiated independent testing on Murphy's hair, blood and tissue samples, and the study revealed high levels of 10 heavy metals. Perhaps there is something fishy here and it was poisoning.

11. Jimi Hendrix

Rock icon Jimi Hendrix died on September 18, 1970; he was only 27 years old. They say he died in his sleep in the apartment of his friend Monica Danneman, choking on vomit after taking 18 times the recommended dose of barbiturates and washing it all down with red wine. And although there is evidence that Hendrix looked and felt ill in his last days, many still believe that something in this whole story does not add up. For example, there is a discrepancy: Danneman claimed that when she found Jimi choking, she called an ambulance and accompanied her boyfriend to the hospital, but he died on the way there. However, ambulance workers told a different version of what happened: when they arrived at the apartment, there was no one there except dead body on the bed. They say that Danneman, while giving official testimony, was constantly confused and changed her version.

10. Bob Marley

Bob Marley died on May 11, 1981 from malignant melanoma. The strange circumstances of Marley's death are sometimes linked to how the reggae legend's illness was discovered. And it happened like this: Marley injured his big toe while playing football and a doctor was called to him, who, according to rumors, gave the artist an injection of an unknown drug. Many people, even today, still hold the view that this may have been an attempt on the singer's life and caused his illness.

The actor lay on the floor of his Manhattan apartment, surrounded by a pile of pills, some of which were prescribed to him, some of which were not. Many conspiracy theorists believe that Heath Ledger became so immersed in his role as the Joker (in The Dark Knight) that he was unable to separate himself from his character, which drove him crazy. However, this is just speculation, because... There was no farewell note, and he had bought large quantities of medicine for everything before. And yet, his death remains mysterious and frightening, and no one knows what was on his mind in the last days before his tragic death.

Moreover, all three men claim that they did not see Natalie Wood fall overboard. Wood's blood alcohol content at the time of death was determined to be 0.14 percent; Painkillers were also found in the blood. And although these reasons are quite sufficient to explain the fall overboard, there are still details that do not fit into a coherent picture. For example, the death of the actress occurred around 12 noon, and emergency signals were not given for another hour and a half. In addition, they say that Wood untied the boat - where did she intend to go with it? Or rather, why? Well, another suspicious touch: the actress’s body was found a mile from the yacht and she was wearing only a nightgown.

The death of Marilyn Monroe on August 5, 1962 is one of the most talked about, if not the most talked about, celebrity deaths. Monroe died of a barbiturate overdose; she was only 36 years old.

The murder of Lennon remains a mystery to many now, since people cannot understand what exactly made Chapman point the gun at legendary musician and shoot five times. Many believe that facts do not explain everything and that Lennon's death must be part of something larger; there is even a theory about a CIA conspiracy to “take out” Lennon; According to this theory, Chapman was recruited by the Secret Service.

And yet there are still people wondering whether it was suicide, murder or a tragic accident.

3. Kurt Cobain

Kurt Cobain's body was discovered by electrician Gary Smith on April 8, 1994; Smith arrived to install the security system, climbed the stairs to the conservatory above the garage and saw through the glass door what he initially thought was a mannequin lying on the floor. It is believed that Cobain barricaded himself in the greenhouse on April 5, wrote suicide note, addressed to an imaginary friend named Boddah, injected himself with a mixture of Valium and heroin, then lay down on the floor, put the barrel of the gun in his mouth, rested his feet on the other end of the gun, and pulled the trigger. The main reason for the many conspiracy theories about this death is the mass of inconsistencies and contradictions revealed during the examination of the case: for example, the examination of the gun was carried out by Seattle police only a month later, and the prints on the weapon were blurred, which allowed experts to claim that someone wiped. Many also claim that the note written by Cobain is not actually a farewell letter from a suicide, but rather a statement that he is quitting the music business. Private investigator Tom Grant, hired by Courtney Love in an attempt to track down her husband in the days before his death, is a leading proponent of the theory that Cobain's death was a homicide rather than a suicide. Grant has several strong arguments in favor of his theory and continues to defend it tenaciously.

Mohammed Al-Fayed, the father of Diana's friend Dodi, who also died in that accident, believes that his son and Diana were killed; Fayed conducted a police investigation in 2004, which resulted in no less than 175 different versions. One of them is based, of course, on the fact that Diana was pregnant with Dodi's child and, according to rumors, they were engaged, so their deaths could not be an accident: the future king of England is unlikely to need a half-brother with such an unsuitable pedigree. Another version claims that the paparazzi chasing the car should be blamed for Diana’s death. There is also information that two unidentified black cars were driving behind Diana’s car, which then disappeared into the ground.

3. Medjikul

The absence of the St. Petersburg group “Medzhikul” in radio and TV rotation is quite possibly a temporary phenomenon. Their debut album “Everything about Marfa” has everything to please almost any listener: you can dance to both incendiary and slow dancing, they want to sing along, while the music itself is very far from the tired pop music.

“Medzhikul” is perhaps the first group in Russia that performs music in the genre of rhythm and blues of the 70s - the so-called Motown Sound.

In Russia, the boom of shoegaze music in the 80s and 90s went unnoticed, which is why this genre is still not popular among a wide audience. Pinkshinyultrablast do not count on success with Russian listeners: they give concerts abroad much more often than in Russia.
