00:00:01,801 --> 00:00:03,243
- (dramatic music)
- fitzharris: In their heyday,
2
00:00:03,267 --> 00:00:04,523
The rolling stones
were real rebels.
3
00:00:04,547 --> 00:00:06,432
Drug busts and jail time.
4
00:00:06,467 --> 00:00:08,992
But 1969 took it
all to a new level.
5
00:00:09,027 --> 00:00:10,817
Guitarist and band founder
brian jones
6
00:00:10,841 --> 00:00:12,672
Drowned in his swimming pool.
7
00:00:12,707 --> 00:00:15,672
The police and the papers
said he was drunk and high.
8
00:00:15,747 --> 00:00:17,563
But were they
telling us the truth?
9
00:00:17,587 --> 00:00:21,097
Jones: Janet described her own
statement as a pack of lies.
10
00:00:21,121 --> 00:00:23,417
Fitzharris: Who was really
there that night?
11
00:00:23,441 --> 00:00:24,952
Hallett: He was having a party,
12
00:00:25,027 --> 00:00:27,952
And midnight-ish we
heard some screaming.
13
00:00:28,027 --> 00:00:30,479
Fitzharris: And what really
happened in his swimming pool?
14
00:00:34,387 --> 00:00:37,712
This is a mystery so dark
it paints everything black,
15
00:00:37,787 --> 00:00:41,159
The band, the police, and
even the british government.
16
00:00:41,234 --> 00:00:43,552
Jones: This wasn't a case
of accidental drowning,
17
00:00:43,587 --> 00:00:46,512
But it was actually case of
manslaughter or possibly murder.
18
00:00:46,547 --> 00:00:48,272
(suspenseful music)
19
00:00:48,347 --> 00:00:50,363
Fitzharris: I'm dr.
Lindsey fitzharris.
20
00:00:50,387 --> 00:00:52,679
I'm a medical historian
and bestselling author,
21
00:00:52,754 --> 00:00:54,763
With a phd in the history
of science and medicine
22
00:00:54,787 --> 00:00:56,472
From oxford university.
23
00:00:56,547 --> 00:00:58,730
I've written about the
pioneering days of surgery,
24
00:00:58,754 --> 00:01:00,912
About syphilis,
plagues and pandemics,
25
00:01:00,947 --> 00:01:03,672
And even books
made of human skin.
26
00:01:03,747 --> 00:01:05,959
Some might say I'm
obsessed with the macabre
27
00:01:06,034 --> 00:01:07,152
And with death.
28
00:01:07,187 --> 00:01:08,912
But, I think the way people die
29
00:01:08,947 --> 00:01:11,472
Tells us a whole lot
about how they lived.
30
00:01:11,507 --> 00:01:14,032
I'm going to explore some of
history's most famous lives
31
00:01:14,107 --> 00:01:17,472
By looking at them through
their extremely curious deaths.
32
00:01:17,547 --> 00:01:19,552
This is my investigation room,
33
00:01:19,587 --> 00:01:22,192
And here is my science lab
where dr. Raychelle burks
34
00:01:22,227 --> 00:01:25,632
Will be doing tests
and experiments for me.
35
00:01:25,667 --> 00:01:28,177
And here is where my
crime-solving partner
36
00:01:28,201 --> 00:01:30,512
Former scotland yard
detective brian hook
37
00:01:30,547 --> 00:01:32,679
Helps me piece together
my investigations.
38
00:01:32,754 --> 00:01:34,792
Call it biography with a twist.
39
00:01:34,867 --> 00:01:36,832
A biography from the morgue.
40
00:01:36,907 --> 00:01:39,719
(dramatic music)
41
00:01:50,707 --> 00:01:52,832
The rolling stones
were the epitome
42
00:01:52,867 --> 00:01:55,232
Of 1960s rock and
roll rebellion.
43
00:01:55,267 --> 00:01:58,199
If you remember these
images, so the saying goes,
44
00:01:58,274 --> 00:01:59,832
You weren't there.
45
00:01:59,907 --> 00:02:01,803
The stones had the
sound, the style,
46
00:02:01,827 --> 00:02:03,632
The scandal, and the sleaze.
47
00:02:03,667 --> 00:02:06,432
From the front-page drug busts
to the glamorous girlfriends,
48
00:02:06,467 --> 00:02:08,203
They were every parent's
nightmare.
49
00:02:08,227 --> 00:02:09,479
They were badass.
50
00:02:09,554 --> 00:02:12,272
In 1969, at the height
of their fame,
51
00:02:12,347 --> 00:02:13,963
The rolling stones
were considered one of
52
00:02:13,987 --> 00:02:16,239
The greatest rock
and roll bands ever.
53
00:02:18,067 --> 00:02:19,243
In the summer of that year,
54
00:02:19,267 --> 00:02:21,872
Things go really genuinely bad.
55
00:02:21,907 --> 00:02:23,159
The band hits the headlines
56
00:02:23,234 --> 00:02:25,232
With a scandal no
one sees coming,
57
00:02:25,267 --> 00:02:27,432
The death of
guitarist brian jones.
58
00:02:27,507 --> 00:02:28,547
(suspenseful music)
59
00:02:28,594 --> 00:02:29,959
From that fatal night on,
60
00:02:30,034 --> 00:02:32,312
Rumors start circulating
about a death that was,
61
00:02:32,387 --> 00:02:34,432
Well, more than
any other premature
62
00:02:34,467 --> 00:02:37,719
Rock and roll death,
wildly curious.
63
00:02:37,794 --> 00:02:40,432
Is it an accident or
is someone responsible?
64
00:02:40,507 --> 00:02:43,639
Is it a classic rock and roll
alcohol and drugs' overdose
65
00:02:43,714 --> 00:02:46,479
Or is there, as some
have alleged, foul play?
66
00:02:47,874 --> 00:02:49,479
I'll start with the facts.
67
00:02:49,554 --> 00:02:50,879
Brian jones is found dead
68
00:02:50,914 --> 00:02:52,657
In his swimming pool
at around midnight
69
00:02:52,681 --> 00:02:55,319
On the night of the
second of July 1969,
70
00:02:55,394 --> 00:02:57,712
At his country mansion,
cotchford farm.
71
00:02:57,747 --> 00:02:58,839
A few days later,
72
00:02:58,914 --> 00:03:00,432
The inquest swiftly declares it
73
00:03:00,467 --> 00:03:02,507
An alcohol and drugs
related drowning.
74
00:03:03,874 --> 00:03:05,483
I've been working with
former scotland yard
75
00:03:05,507 --> 00:03:07,472
Murder squad
detective brian hook
76
00:03:07,507 --> 00:03:10,752
To start compiling a list
on his investigations board.
77
00:03:10,787 --> 00:03:13,712
(gentle music)
78
00:03:13,747 --> 00:03:16,272
So, brian, what do we actually
know about that night?
79
00:03:16,307 --> 00:03:17,872
Hook: We know a fair bit.
80
00:03:17,947 --> 00:03:19,930
I've actually got the
coroner's inquest file here.
81
00:03:19,954 --> 00:03:22,672
Cause of death, "drowning
whilst under the influence
82
00:03:22,707 --> 00:03:26,359
"of alcohol and
drugs, misadventure."
83
00:03:26,434 --> 00:03:28,959
Fitzharris: And who else was
there that night?
84
00:03:28,994 --> 00:03:30,923
Hook: Anna wohlin,
brian's girlfriend,
85
00:03:30,947 --> 00:03:32,497
Was there that evening,
86
00:03:32,521 --> 00:03:35,792
And a man called
frank thorogood.
87
00:03:35,827 --> 00:03:38,359
Now he was a builder.
88
00:03:38,434 --> 00:03:41,472
Brian was having a lot of
refurbishment done on the house,
89
00:03:41,507 --> 00:03:44,359
And frank was doing
that refurbishment.
90
00:03:44,434 --> 00:03:47,072
But, he was actually
living in an apartment
91
00:03:47,147 --> 00:03:49,792
Above the garage attached
to brian's house.
92
00:03:49,827 --> 00:03:51,323
Fitzharris: So in
the guest house?
93
00:03:51,347 --> 00:03:52,883
Hook: Yes. Fitzharris: Okay.
94
00:03:52,907 --> 00:03:55,872
Hook: And also we have
janet, who was a nurse.
95
00:03:55,907 --> 00:03:57,483
It was thought that at
the time that she was
96
00:03:57,507 --> 00:04:00,199
Having a relationship
with frank the builder.
97
00:04:00,274 --> 00:04:04,512
And then, lastly,
we have tom keylock,
98
00:04:04,547 --> 00:04:07,872
Who is employed by the rolling
stones as a tour manager
99
00:04:07,907 --> 00:04:10,832
But also as a minder for brian.
100
00:04:10,867 --> 00:04:12,359
He says he didn't arrive
101
00:04:12,434 --> 00:04:13,777
Until the early
hours of the morning.
102
00:04:13,801 --> 00:04:16,352
(dramatic music)
103
00:04:16,387 --> 00:04:17,883
Fitzharris: I need to
think differently
104
00:04:17,907 --> 00:04:20,067
From the way they were
thinking in the 1960s.
105
00:04:22,027 --> 00:04:23,632
It's time to meet brian.
106
00:04:23,667 --> 00:04:25,992
(suspenseful music)
107
00:04:26,067 --> 00:04:28,519
Under your 1960s finery brian,
108
00:04:28,594 --> 00:04:30,817
You're just the same as us.
109
00:04:30,841 --> 00:04:32,839
(dramatic music)
110
00:04:32,914 --> 00:04:34,239
You're just flesh and blood.
111
00:04:37,554 --> 00:04:42,192
This model made of gel behaves
just like a human body.
112
00:04:42,267 --> 00:04:45,632
With this, I'll be able to do
some tests and experiments.
113
00:04:45,667 --> 00:04:47,872
To help me, I've
asked dr. Judy melinek
114
00:04:47,947 --> 00:04:50,512
To take a close look
at brian's autopsy.
115
00:04:50,547 --> 00:04:53,239
(dramatic music)
116
00:04:55,827 --> 00:04:58,152
She's pronounced
on over 2500 cases,
117
00:04:58,227 --> 00:04:59,712
And was one of the medical team
118
00:04:59,747 --> 00:05:02,497
Who dealt with the
thousands who died in 9/11.
119
00:05:02,521 --> 00:05:04,152
She's going to use our gel body
120
00:05:04,227 --> 00:05:06,599
To recreate what happened
in brian's post mortem.
121
00:05:07,481 --> 00:05:09,337
So what are we looking at here?
122
00:05:09,361 --> 00:05:12,519
Melinek: He did have quite a bit
of alcohol in his bloodstream.
123
00:05:12,594 --> 00:05:16,192
A blood alcohol level
of .14 grams percent
124
00:05:16,227 --> 00:05:20,112
That's a little below
twice what we'd have
125
00:05:20,147 --> 00:05:21,992
For the legal limit for driving.
126
00:05:22,067 --> 00:05:23,363
Fitzharris: Okay.
Melinek: The kind of equivalent
127
00:05:23,387 --> 00:05:25,392
Of three and a
half pints of beer.
128
00:05:25,427 --> 00:05:26,683
Fitzharris: So it
doesn't sound like much.
129
00:05:26,707 --> 00:05:28,272
Would it have made him drowsy?
130
00:05:28,307 --> 00:05:29,963
Melinek: I think
that's unlikely.
131
00:05:29,987 --> 00:05:32,203
Someone's who's got a
history of chronic alcoholism
132
00:05:32,227 --> 00:05:34,003
And who drinks on
a regular basis,
133
00:05:34,027 --> 00:05:36,439
No, I would not expect them
to become unconscious from it.
134
00:05:36,514 --> 00:05:37,610
To give you a sense of it,
135
00:05:37,634 --> 00:05:39,439
I can show you on the model.
136
00:05:39,474 --> 00:05:40,592
(dramatic music)
137
00:05:40,627 --> 00:05:42,363
So normally when
I do an autopsy,
138
00:05:42,387 --> 00:05:44,159
I make a y-incision on the body.
139
00:05:44,967 --> 00:05:47,839
I go from shoulder to shoulder
down to the breastbone,
140
00:05:48,754 --> 00:05:50,432
And then down the abdomen.
141
00:05:50,467 --> 00:05:52,512
(gentle music)
142
00:05:52,547 --> 00:05:55,712
Fitzharris: I'm like a kid in a
science class right now.
143
00:05:55,747 --> 00:05:57,297
Melinek: Peel back everything.
144
00:05:57,321 --> 00:05:58,392
(gel squelching)
145
00:05:58,467 --> 00:05:59,667
Fitzharris: Oh, that sound.
146
00:06:00,294 --> 00:06:03,552
So really just open up
the body like a window.
147
00:06:03,627 --> 00:06:06,512
(dramatic music)
148
00:06:06,587 --> 00:06:09,199
Melinek: The next step is
to take loppers.
149
00:06:11,587 --> 00:06:12,992
Fitzharris: Wow.
150
00:06:13,027 --> 00:06:15,107
Melinek: And we use it
to clip the ribs.
151
00:06:15,281 --> 00:06:17,999
(bones cracking)
152
00:06:20,627 --> 00:06:24,599
And that allows us to
expose the chest cavity,
153
00:06:25,801 --> 00:06:27,801
The lungs, the
heart, and the liver.
154
00:06:28,987 --> 00:06:30,399
A normal-sized liver,
155
00:06:33,874 --> 00:06:36,112
Is about this size.
156
00:06:36,147 --> 00:06:38,272
But the pathologist found
157
00:06:38,307 --> 00:06:41,072
That brian jones had a
markedly enlarged liver,
158
00:06:41,107 --> 00:06:44,432
Twice normal size and
indicates hard drinking.
159
00:06:44,507 --> 00:06:46,352
(dramatic music)
160
00:06:46,387 --> 00:06:47,763
Fitzharris: That tells us that
the three pints or so of beer
161
00:06:47,787 --> 00:06:49,723
That brian had taken
onboard that night,
162
00:06:49,747 --> 00:06:51,803
Would have had minimal
effect on his ability
163
00:06:51,827 --> 00:06:53,312
To function normally.
164
00:06:53,347 --> 00:06:55,712
But we also know from
the coroner's report
165
00:06:55,747 --> 00:06:59,519
That brian had been under
the influence of drugs...
Apparently.
166
00:07:00,394 --> 00:07:03,159
I've asked analytical
chemist dr. Raychelle burks
167
00:07:03,234 --> 00:07:05,403
To take a close look at
the toxicology report
168
00:07:05,427 --> 00:07:06,472
From that night.
169
00:07:06,547 --> 00:07:08,639
(dramatic music)
170
00:07:08,674 --> 00:07:10,432
So raychelle, brian jones,
171
00:07:10,467 --> 00:07:11,919
Big time rock and roll star,
172
00:07:11,954 --> 00:07:13,803
But he wasn't partying
hard that night?
173
00:07:13,827 --> 00:07:16,992
Burks: Well, they tested for
five drugs and didn't find any.
174
00:07:17,027 --> 00:07:18,679
But, in the urine
175
00:07:18,754 --> 00:07:23,632
"amphetamine like
substance 1,720 micrograms.
176
00:07:23,667 --> 00:07:27,792
"in normal urine this never
exceeds 200 micrograms."
177
00:07:27,827 --> 00:07:29,483
Fitzharris: Wow.
Burks: Continuing,
178
00:07:29,507 --> 00:07:31,632
"these figures suggest ingestion
179
00:07:31,667 --> 00:07:33,952
"of a fairly large
quantity of drug."
180
00:07:33,987 --> 00:07:35,370
Fitzharris: So what
does all this mean?
181
00:07:35,394 --> 00:07:36,752
Burks: If it's in the urine,
182
00:07:36,787 --> 00:07:37,712
It means it's gone
through his system,
183
00:07:37,747 --> 00:07:38,912
And he's metabolized it.
184
00:07:38,947 --> 00:07:40,192
Now that takes some time.
185
00:07:40,227 --> 00:07:42,592
It could have been
24 hours before.
186
00:07:42,627 --> 00:07:45,319
(dramatic music)
187
00:07:50,347 --> 00:07:53,072
Fitzharris: As is routinely the
case, for his autopsy
188
00:07:53,147 --> 00:07:56,112
A sample of brian jones's
urine was examined.
189
00:07:56,147 --> 00:07:57,883
We take this
practice for granted,
190
00:07:57,907 --> 00:07:59,632
But way before stethoscopes,
191
00:07:59,667 --> 00:08:01,297
Blood tests, and mri scans,
192
00:08:01,321 --> 00:08:04,432
A pot of pee was a
crucial diagnostic tool.
193
00:08:04,467 --> 00:08:07,472
The influential greco-roman
physician, galen,
194
00:08:07,507 --> 00:08:10,112
Believed that urine was
the best way to determine
195
00:08:10,147 --> 00:08:12,177
Whether a patient's four humors,
196
00:08:12,201 --> 00:08:16,592
Blood, phlegm, yellow and
black bile, were in balance.
197
00:08:16,627 --> 00:08:17,712
In medieval europe,
198
00:08:17,747 --> 00:08:19,312
Something called a urine wheel
199
00:08:19,347 --> 00:08:21,392
Was used to diagnose disease
200
00:08:21,427 --> 00:08:23,632
Based on the color, smell,
201
00:08:23,667 --> 00:08:25,432
And even the taste of the urine.
202
00:08:25,507 --> 00:08:26,817
(tense music)
203
00:08:26,841 --> 00:08:29,552
These rather pretty
wheels had 20 colors
204
00:08:29,587 --> 00:08:31,792
Ranging from white as well-water
205
00:08:31,827 --> 00:08:33,559
To black as a very dark horn.
206
00:08:34,754 --> 00:08:36,570
The urine wheel may
not have been useful
207
00:08:36,594 --> 00:08:39,752
In diagnosing diseases as
we understand them today,
208
00:08:39,827 --> 00:08:42,639
But it was standard practice
for hundreds of years.
209
00:08:43,381 --> 00:08:46,199
Today, doctors no
longer taste our urine,
210
00:08:46,274 --> 00:08:47,712
Nor do they spend much time
211
00:08:47,747 --> 00:08:49,707
Contemplating its
smell or color.
212
00:08:50,381 --> 00:08:54,352
But asking a patient to pee
into an impossibly tiny cup
213
00:08:54,387 --> 00:08:56,199
Is not an uncommon request,
214
00:08:56,274 --> 00:08:59,479
As anyone entering a hospital
or medical office today knows.
215
00:08:59,554 --> 00:09:02,192
Or, as it turns out, a morgue.
216
00:09:02,227 --> 00:09:04,912
With modern chemical
analysis urine can tell us
217
00:09:04,947 --> 00:09:07,759
More today than it has
ever told us in the past.
218
00:09:09,667 --> 00:09:12,399
(dramatic music)
219
00:09:14,347 --> 00:09:16,123
So what else is
interesting here?
220
00:09:16,147 --> 00:09:18,250
Burks: Well, they did a thin
layer chromatography test,
221
00:09:18,274 --> 00:09:21,439
And they didn't find the
five drugs they tested for.
222
00:09:21,474 --> 00:09:24,992
"but, did show the presence
of two dense spots.
223
00:09:25,027 --> 00:09:28,497
"one yellow orange, which
has not been identified,
224
00:09:28,521 --> 00:09:30,912
"and the other a purple spot."
225
00:09:30,947 --> 00:09:33,003
Fitzharris: What's a thin
layer chromatography test?
226
00:09:33,027 --> 00:09:36,112
Burks: It's a way to separate
out a complex mixture.
227
00:09:36,147 --> 00:09:38,072
You drop the mixture on a plate.
228
00:09:38,147 --> 00:09:39,472
It would separate out,
229
00:09:39,507 --> 00:09:41,163
And give you lots
of spots like this.
230
00:09:41,187 --> 00:09:43,639
Now you've got to
identify each one.
231
00:09:43,714 --> 00:09:46,203
Fitzharris: So could these spots
be related to the amphetamine
232
00:09:46,227 --> 00:09:48,010
Like substances
found in his urine?
233
00:09:48,034 --> 00:09:49,512
Burks: They could.
234
00:09:49,587 --> 00:09:50,952
Fitzharris: Brian's drug taking
235
00:09:51,027 --> 00:09:53,832
Was affecting more than
his own body.
236
00:09:53,907 --> 00:09:55,552
Just before his death,
237
00:09:55,627 --> 00:09:57,923
There's high drama in the
world of the rolling stones.
238
00:09:57,947 --> 00:10:00,359
Drugs and alcohol were
contributing to an increase
239
00:10:00,434 --> 00:10:02,919
In the strength and frequency
of brian's mood swings.
240
00:10:04,107 --> 00:10:05,803
He's not turning
up for rehearsals,
241
00:10:05,827 --> 00:10:08,199
And when he is,
he's drunk or high.
242
00:10:09,127 --> 00:10:12,199
Mick jagger and keith richards
fire brian from the band.
243
00:10:14,467 --> 00:10:16,570
Film producer stephen
woolley became an expert
244
00:10:16,594 --> 00:10:18,523
On relations within
the rolling stones
245
00:10:18,547 --> 00:10:20,832
When he researched his
movie about brian jones
246
00:10:20,867 --> 00:10:22,352
Finding evidence that his death
247
00:10:22,387 --> 00:10:24,737
Might have been more
than pure accident.
248
00:10:24,761 --> 00:10:26,577
(gentle music)
249
00:10:26,601 --> 00:10:27,697
Woolley: Brian was the one who
formed the rolling stones.
250
00:10:27,721 --> 00:10:29,232
He had got the band together.
251
00:10:29,267 --> 00:10:30,472
He was the one that came up
252
00:10:30,547 --> 00:10:32,003
With the name the
rolling stones.
253
00:10:32,027 --> 00:10:32,952
(dramatic music)
254
00:10:33,027 --> 00:10:34,792
Before brian's death,
255
00:10:34,867 --> 00:10:36,519
Keith richards discovered that
256
00:10:36,594 --> 00:10:40,359
Having fired brian
from the band,
257
00:10:40,434 --> 00:10:43,152
Brian wanted to keep the
name the rolling stones.
258
00:10:43,187 --> 00:10:45,403
Fitzharris: If brian legally
kept the name rolling stones,
259
00:10:45,427 --> 00:10:48,352
It could be a financial disaster
for the rest of the band,
260
00:10:48,387 --> 00:10:51,319
And, it seems,
things did turn ugly.
261
00:10:51,394 --> 00:10:52,763
Woolley: I'm not sure this
is entirely true,
262
00:10:52,787 --> 00:10:55,792
But, apparently, a
brouhaha developed.
263
00:10:55,867 --> 00:10:57,952
Keith had pulled
a knife on brian
264
00:10:57,987 --> 00:11:00,112
And was held back by mick.
265
00:11:00,147 --> 00:11:02,912
(dramatic music)
266
00:11:02,987 --> 00:11:04,483
Fitzharris: According
to an eyewitness,
267
00:11:04,507 --> 00:11:06,672
There was a big fight
about the band's name.
268
00:11:06,707 --> 00:11:08,443
But could the rolling
stones possibly
269
00:11:08,467 --> 00:11:11,072
Have been involved in
brian's mysterious death?
270
00:11:11,147 --> 00:11:13,399
(suspenseful music)
271
00:11:15,587 --> 00:11:18,657
Shortly before his death sent
shockwaves to the rock world
272
00:11:18,681 --> 00:11:22,152
Former rolling stone brian jones
is rumored to have been seen
273
00:11:22,227 --> 00:11:24,123
Fighting with guitarist
keith richards.
274
00:11:24,147 --> 00:11:25,792
Over rights to the band's name.
275
00:11:25,827 --> 00:11:29,712
Can we trust this
eye witness' report?
276
00:11:29,747 --> 00:11:32,839
Hook: This story about keith
richard pulling a knife on brian
277
00:11:32,914 --> 00:11:34,672
Has been a rumor for years.
278
00:11:34,707 --> 00:11:36,683
So I'd take that
with a grain of salt.
279
00:11:36,707 --> 00:11:38,199
It's just a rumor.
280
00:11:38,274 --> 00:11:39,752
But, what can we be sure of?
281
00:11:39,827 --> 00:11:41,643
Hook: Well one thing
we're certain of,
282
00:11:41,667 --> 00:11:44,832
Brian's split with the band
was definitely acrimonious.
283
00:11:44,867 --> 00:11:46,512
(dramatic music)
284
00:11:46,547 --> 00:11:48,683
Fitzharris: Despite being fired,
brian doesn't go easy.
285
00:11:48,707 --> 00:11:50,432
He strikes a tough deal,
286
00:11:50,467 --> 00:11:52,827
Whereby, the stones pay him
a lump sum and a yearly fee.
287
00:11:53,907 --> 00:11:55,632
If brian jones lives,
288
00:11:55,667 --> 00:11:58,672
He can continue to make life
difficult for the stones.
289
00:11:58,707 --> 00:12:02,352
But is his death a coincidence
or something more sinister?
290
00:12:02,387 --> 00:12:03,952
(suspenseful music)
291
00:12:04,027 --> 00:12:06,199
So this is the
bombshell that's either
292
00:12:06,274 --> 00:12:09,272
Going to make or
break my career,
293
00:12:09,347 --> 00:12:12,679
Adding the rolling stones up
there on the suspect list.
294
00:12:13,907 --> 00:12:15,370
I don't know, should
I call my lawyer?
295
00:12:15,394 --> 00:12:16,474
Hook: Most certainly.
296
00:12:17,167 --> 00:12:20,192
There's no way that they
are people of interest.
297
00:12:20,227 --> 00:12:22,039
Their life got a lot easier
298
00:12:22,114 --> 00:12:24,312
After brian had left
the band and died,
299
00:12:24,387 --> 00:12:26,192
But no evidence whatsoever.
300
00:12:26,227 --> 00:12:28,817
So I'm sorry, not suspects.
301
00:12:28,841 --> 00:12:30,192
(dramatic music)
302
00:12:30,227 --> 00:12:32,657
(lively music) (crowd cheering)
303
00:12:32,681 --> 00:12:34,283
Fitzharris: Despite
the falling out,
304
00:12:34,307 --> 00:12:36,592
Brian's death led to
a poignant tribute
305
00:12:36,627 --> 00:12:38,799
At a rolling stones
concert two days later.
306
00:12:41,467 --> 00:12:43,712
Now it's the time to
return to the night itself.
307
00:12:43,747 --> 00:12:45,559
(chimes and beeps)
308
00:12:45,634 --> 00:12:48,199
Fitzharris: Brian dies at his
beautiful house, cotchford farm.
309
00:12:48,274 --> 00:12:51,472
Here's what it looks like at
the time of brian's death.
310
00:12:51,507 --> 00:12:52,839
It's a quaint old farmhouse,
311
00:12:52,914 --> 00:12:54,679
Comfortable but not enormous.
312
00:12:54,754 --> 00:12:56,352
Home of aa milne,
313
00:12:56,387 --> 00:12:58,497
Who wrote the wonderful
winnie the pooh books.
314
00:12:58,521 --> 00:13:00,177
It's thought that
with brian that night
315
00:13:00,201 --> 00:13:02,192
Were frank the builder,
316
00:13:02,227 --> 00:13:04,592
Anna, brian's girlfriend,
317
00:13:04,627 --> 00:13:06,799
And janet a nurse and
friend of frank's.
318
00:13:08,227 --> 00:13:09,850
So these were all the
people there that night,
319
00:13:09,874 --> 00:13:12,272
And presumably they gave
a statement to the police?
320
00:13:12,307 --> 00:13:14,730
Hook: Yes, they all say that
they had a little bit of food,
321
00:13:14,754 --> 00:13:15,850
And little bit of drink,
322
00:13:15,874 --> 00:13:17,312
And then, eventually,
323
00:13:17,347 --> 00:13:20,592
Frank, anna, and brian
go into the pool.
324
00:13:20,627 --> 00:13:21,723
Fitzharris: Does anything
strike you as odd
325
00:13:21,747 --> 00:13:22,872
From these statements?
326
00:13:22,947 --> 00:13:24,752
Hook: Yeah, none of them match.
327
00:13:24,787 --> 00:13:27,152
(dramatic music)
328
00:13:27,187 --> 00:13:28,603
Fitzharris: Frank thorogood
tells police
329
00:13:28,627 --> 00:13:30,999
That he was the last one
in the pool with brian.
330
00:13:32,787 --> 00:13:34,159
Frank leaves for a cigarette.
331
00:13:36,147 --> 00:13:37,850
And then, he says
that some time later.
332
00:13:37,874 --> 00:13:40,592
He discovers the body with anna,
333
00:13:40,667 --> 00:13:44,359
Who screams that brian is
on the bottom of the pool.
334
00:13:44,434 --> 00:13:46,832
Anna wohlin gives a completely
different account.
335
00:13:46,867 --> 00:13:49,159
(beeps and chimes)
336
00:13:49,234 --> 00:13:50,592
She went inside to the bedroom,
337
00:13:50,627 --> 00:13:52,119
Leaving the others by the pool.
338
00:13:53,827 --> 00:13:55,177
At around midnight,
339
00:13:55,201 --> 00:13:57,232
Anna says that she
hears janet scream
340
00:13:57,267 --> 00:13:59,439
That something has
happened to brian.
341
00:13:59,474 --> 00:14:01,072
So in anna's version,
342
00:14:01,107 --> 00:14:04,679
It's janet who discovers
brian in the pool not her.
343
00:14:04,754 --> 00:14:06,072
(ominous music)
344
00:14:06,147 --> 00:14:07,759
According to janet's statement,
345
00:14:09,907 --> 00:14:12,359
She heads inside the
house before anna.
346
00:14:12,434 --> 00:14:14,410
After speaking with
frank in the kitchen,
347
00:14:14,434 --> 00:14:16,599
She then finds brian
face down in the water.
348
00:14:17,747 --> 00:14:19,479
So, according to janet,
349
00:14:19,554 --> 00:14:21,777
Frank isn't at the poolside
when brian is discovered.
350
00:14:21,801 --> 00:14:23,632
She is.
351
00:14:23,667 --> 00:14:25,137
How come none of these
witnesses heard brian
352
00:14:25,161 --> 00:14:27,321
Struggling in the water
as he was drowning?
353
00:14:29,027 --> 00:14:31,552
(suspenseful music)
354
00:14:31,587 --> 00:14:34,279
(dramatic music)
355
00:14:39,907 --> 00:14:42,512
Whatever else happened that
night at cotchford farm,
356
00:14:42,547 --> 00:14:45,472
Brian jones was found
dead in the swimming pool.
357
00:14:45,507 --> 00:14:47,792
The autopsy may have
ruled it a drowning,
358
00:14:47,827 --> 00:14:50,359
But what actually happens
to your body as you drown?
359
00:14:51,427 --> 00:14:52,839
Most of us can hold our breath
360
00:14:52,914 --> 00:14:55,959
For between 30 seconds
and two minutes.
361
00:14:56,034 --> 00:14:57,592
Every second after that,
362
00:14:57,667 --> 00:14:59,152
Your chances of surviving
363
00:14:59,187 --> 00:15:01,799
Underneath the water
become slimmer.
364
00:15:01,874 --> 00:15:03,312
The instinct not to breathe
365
00:15:03,347 --> 00:15:05,799
While you're under
water is so strong,
366
00:15:05,874 --> 00:15:09,072
That it overcomes the agony
of running out of air.
367
00:15:09,107 --> 00:15:11,312
This is called the break point,
368
00:15:11,347 --> 00:15:13,439
When you just have
to take a breath in.
369
00:15:14,214 --> 00:15:16,952
Experiments have shown
this involuntary response
370
00:15:17,027 --> 00:15:20,112
Comes around about 87 seconds.
371
00:15:20,187 --> 00:15:21,963
You might be
surprised to discover
372
00:15:21,987 --> 00:15:24,472
That drowning doesn't
look like drowning.
373
00:15:24,547 --> 00:15:26,839
According to dr. Francesco pia,
374
00:15:26,914 --> 00:15:28,843
A lifeguard from
long island new york,
375
00:15:28,867 --> 00:15:31,712
Who is an expert on
rescuing drowning victims,
376
00:15:31,747 --> 00:15:33,777
The waving,
splashing, and yelling
377
00:15:33,801 --> 00:15:36,199
That we see in the movies
simply doesn't happen.
378
00:15:37,394 --> 00:15:38,992
The mouths of drowning people
379
00:15:39,027 --> 00:15:41,243
Are not above the surface
of the water long enough
380
00:15:41,267 --> 00:15:44,617
For them to exhale, inhale,
and call out for help.
381
00:15:44,641 --> 00:15:47,152
This is why drowning
children often go unnoticed.
382
00:15:47,187 --> 00:15:49,639
Of the roughly 750 children
383
00:15:49,714 --> 00:15:51,690
Who will drown next
year in the u.S.,
384
00:15:51,714 --> 00:15:53,912
Many will do so within 25 yards
385
00:15:53,987 --> 00:15:56,159
Of their parents
or another adult.
386
00:15:56,194 --> 00:15:58,952
The silent, undramatic
way that people drown
387
00:15:59,027 --> 00:16:00,832
May go a long way to explaining
388
00:16:00,867 --> 00:16:02,952
Why no one saw brian
jones slip under
389
00:16:03,027 --> 00:16:06,032
The water that summer
evening in 1969.
390
00:16:06,107 --> 00:16:07,959
(tense music)
391
00:16:08,034 --> 00:16:10,759
(dramatic music)
392
00:16:12,921 --> 00:16:14,512
On that night the eye witnesses
393
00:16:14,547 --> 00:16:16,799
Give completely different
stories to the police.
394
00:16:17,587 --> 00:16:20,272
If we've been able to
identify the contradictions
395
00:16:20,347 --> 00:16:23,152
In their statements what
do they make of them?
396
00:16:23,187 --> 00:16:26,072
Why don't they investigate
these discrepancies?
397
00:16:26,147 --> 00:16:27,632
So brian, you're a former cop,
398
00:16:27,667 --> 00:16:29,792
Whose job was it to
go to cotchford farm?
399
00:16:29,827 --> 00:16:31,883
Hook: Initially, it was the
sussex constabulary.
400
00:16:31,907 --> 00:16:33,872
They're a small rural force,
401
00:16:33,907 --> 00:16:35,232
And, interestingly, there's only
402
00:16:35,267 --> 00:16:37,137
One statement from
a police officer,
403
00:16:37,161 --> 00:16:39,792
And that's constable
albert evans.
404
00:16:39,827 --> 00:16:43,272
He arrives at cotchford
farm at 10 past 12:00.
405
00:16:43,347 --> 00:16:44,592
Sees a body.
406
00:16:44,667 --> 00:16:46,152
Goes into the house.
407
00:16:46,227 --> 00:16:48,272
But, it's extremely short.
408
00:16:48,307 --> 00:16:49,803
Fitzharris: Yeah, I mean,
I'm no cop,
409
00:16:49,827 --> 00:16:51,323
But this seems like a
very short statement.
410
00:16:51,347 --> 00:16:52,832
It's about a page long.
411
00:16:52,867 --> 00:16:55,232
Hook: Nothing about who
he spoke to,
412
00:16:55,267 --> 00:16:57,312
What the events were, nothing.
413
00:16:57,387 --> 00:16:59,403
Fitzharris: Really crucial facts
to the case are missing?
414
00:16:59,427 --> 00:17:00,523
Hook: They're just not there.
415
00:17:00,547 --> 00:17:02,432
(dramatic music)
416
00:17:02,467 --> 00:17:05,232
Fitzharris: Albert refused to
revisit that night with us.
417
00:17:05,267 --> 00:17:06,912
But scott jones, a journalist,
418
00:17:06,947 --> 00:17:09,312
Who has completed decades
of research on this case,
419
00:17:09,347 --> 00:17:11,712
Actually spoke to albert evans.
420
00:17:11,747 --> 00:17:14,592
Jones: In the 1990s
albert evans,
421
00:17:14,627 --> 00:17:17,392
Who was now out of the police,
422
00:17:17,427 --> 00:17:21,072
Wrote to the chief constable
to say that he wasn't happy
423
00:17:21,107 --> 00:17:23,239
With the police work
that had gone on.
424
00:17:25,027 --> 00:17:26,472
Albert evans told me
425
00:17:26,547 --> 00:17:29,457
He interviewed more
than three witnesses.
426
00:17:29,481 --> 00:17:31,723
Everybody had said to him
there'd been an altercation.
427
00:17:31,747 --> 00:17:33,232
There'd been a fight.
428
00:17:33,267 --> 00:17:35,370
The evidence he said
was incredibly clear.
429
00:17:35,394 --> 00:17:37,163
It was obvious
what had happened.
430
00:17:37,187 --> 00:17:39,079
Brian jones had died in a fight.
431
00:17:40,387 --> 00:17:43,479
Yet, albert evans said
to me that bob marshal,
432
00:17:43,554 --> 00:17:47,872
The most senior cid officer
on the case, stopped him,
433
00:17:47,907 --> 00:17:50,359
And from that moment onwards,
434
00:17:50,434 --> 00:17:51,719
That evidence was buried,
435
00:17:52,787 --> 00:17:54,032
And it was ignored.
436
00:17:54,107 --> 00:17:56,512
(dramatic music)
437
00:17:56,547 --> 00:17:57,930
Fitzharris: There
definitely was a fight,
438
00:17:57,954 --> 00:17:59,850
But the police aren't
investigating it.
439
00:17:59,874 --> 00:18:02,272
It seems that the police
are a big factor here.
440
00:18:02,307 --> 00:18:04,792
Hook: Well, the investigation is
gonna be the crux of this.
441
00:18:04,867 --> 00:18:07,792
We need to find out who's
actually pulling the strings.
442
00:18:07,827 --> 00:18:10,272
Fitzharris: So, you
have albert evans,
443
00:18:10,307 --> 00:18:12,039
The first cop on the scene.
444
00:18:12,114 --> 00:18:14,312
Hook: Yep, he spoke to
a lot of people,
445
00:18:14,387 --> 00:18:16,250
And they're saying
that there was a fight.
446
00:18:16,274 --> 00:18:18,043
Fitzharris: His evidence
is being ignored
447
00:18:18,067 --> 00:18:20,657
By his superior bob marshall.
448
00:18:20,681 --> 00:18:22,337
Plus, you have the police,
449
00:18:22,361 --> 00:18:24,170
Who represent the
establishment at this time.
450
00:18:24,194 --> 00:18:25,432
You have the rolling stones,
451
00:18:25,507 --> 00:18:26,763
Who represent the
counterculture.
452
00:18:26,787 --> 00:18:28,192
This is a dynamic that I think
453
00:18:28,227 --> 00:18:30,187
Is very interesting
to this case.
454
00:18:31,267 --> 00:18:33,083
The long running struggle
between the police
455
00:18:33,107 --> 00:18:36,192
And the counterculture
pivoted mostly on one thing:
456
00:18:36,227 --> 00:18:37,552
Recreational drugs.
457
00:18:37,627 --> 00:18:40,359
(dramatic music)
458
00:18:45,427 --> 00:18:47,112
As a world-famous rock star,
459
00:18:47,187 --> 00:18:49,003
It would have been easy
for brian to get hold of
460
00:18:49,027 --> 00:18:52,752
Almost any recreational
drug available in the 1960s.
461
00:18:52,787 --> 00:18:55,359
But mind-altering drugs
are as old as time.
462
00:18:56,434 --> 00:18:58,043
Before the development
of language,
463
00:18:58,067 --> 00:19:00,472
Our ancestors were
seeking out highs.
464
00:19:00,547 --> 00:19:02,792
Everything from the
ganja of rastafarians,
465
00:19:02,867 --> 00:19:04,752
To tobacco of native americans,
466
00:19:04,787 --> 00:19:07,152
And even wine in christianity.
467
00:19:07,187 --> 00:19:10,592
A survey of 488 modern
societies revealed
468
00:19:10,667 --> 00:19:13,312
That 90% have fundamental
belief systems
469
00:19:13,347 --> 00:19:16,497
Influenced by the consumption
of mind-altering drugs.
470
00:19:16,521 --> 00:19:18,152
(dramatic music)
471
00:19:18,227 --> 00:19:20,672
Celebrity use and abuse of
mind-altering substances
472
00:19:20,707 --> 00:19:22,039
Are nothing new.
473
00:19:22,114 --> 00:19:23,552
In the early 1800s,
474
00:19:23,587 --> 00:19:25,530
World-renowned
chemist humphry davy
475
00:19:25,554 --> 00:19:28,519
Experimented with
inhaling nitrous oxide.
476
00:19:28,594 --> 00:19:30,337
He thought it gave
him exclusive access
477
00:19:30,361 --> 00:19:32,010
To the inner
workings of the brain
478
00:19:32,034 --> 00:19:34,112
And the secrets of heaven.
479
00:19:34,147 --> 00:19:36,123
He wrote poetry while
under its influence
480
00:19:36,147 --> 00:19:37,883
And even held
laughing gas parties
481
00:19:37,907 --> 00:19:39,319
For his celebrity friends.
482
00:19:40,914 --> 00:19:42,954
Talking of mind
- altering substances,
483
00:19:43,027 --> 00:19:45,392
Cocaine was in common
and unregulated use
484
00:19:45,427 --> 00:19:47,312
Throughout the 19th century.
485
00:19:47,347 --> 00:19:50,912
In 1863, the french
chemist angelo mariani
486
00:19:50,947 --> 00:19:53,552
Marketed a wine treated
with coca leaves,
487
00:19:53,587 --> 00:19:55,879
The active ingredient
of which is cocaine.
488
00:19:57,234 --> 00:20:00,112
Vin mariani
contained 11% alcohol
489
00:20:00,147 --> 00:20:03,392
And 6.5 mg of cocaine
in every fluid ounce.
490
00:20:03,467 --> 00:20:04,472
(gentle music)
491
00:20:04,547 --> 00:20:05,759
It was an instant hit.
492
00:20:07,394 --> 00:20:09,799
Novelist robert louis
stephenson loved it.
493
00:20:09,874 --> 00:20:12,792
He wrote "the strange case
of dr. Jekyll and mr. Hyde"
494
00:20:12,867 --> 00:20:14,719
During a six-day cocaine binge.
495
00:20:15,447 --> 00:20:17,792
So, if you think the
drug-fueled party lifestyle
496
00:20:17,827 --> 00:20:20,912
Began in the 1960s, look
back a few hundred years,
497
00:20:20,947 --> 00:20:22,272
And think again.
498
00:20:22,307 --> 00:20:23,712
(bright music)
499
00:20:23,747 --> 00:20:26,439
(dramatic music)
500
00:20:28,667 --> 00:20:30,203
Drugs were the
polarizing feature
501
00:20:30,227 --> 00:20:32,919
Of the political landscape
in the late '60s.
502
00:20:33,887 --> 00:20:35,643
Hook: There'd been a lot of
tension between the band
503
00:20:35,667 --> 00:20:37,370
And the police in
the previous years,
504
00:20:37,394 --> 00:20:39,243
And, in particular,
the sussex police,
505
00:20:39,267 --> 00:20:41,232
Who were investigating the case.
506
00:20:41,267 --> 00:20:43,427
They had a history with
the rolling stones.
507
00:20:44,387 --> 00:20:46,312
On February 12, 1967,
508
00:20:46,387 --> 00:20:48,072
There's a notorious drug bust
509
00:20:48,147 --> 00:20:50,952
At keith richards's country
house, redlands in sussex.
510
00:20:51,027 --> 00:20:55,552
Keith and mick reportedly in
the midst of a debauched party,
511
00:20:55,587 --> 00:20:57,323
Including the
legendary one involving
512
00:20:57,347 --> 00:20:59,472
Mick's girlfriend
marianne faithful.
513
00:20:59,507 --> 00:21:01,432
And after a high-profile trial,
514
00:21:01,507 --> 00:21:03,639
All they got were
a few days in jail.
515
00:21:03,714 --> 00:21:05,483
So sussex police I
would have imagined
516
00:21:05,507 --> 00:21:07,319
Would have been humiliated.
517
00:21:07,394 --> 00:21:10,519
Now I'm not saying that's a
motivation for a cover up,
518
00:21:10,594 --> 00:21:14,279
But it must have left the
sussex police really smarting.
519
00:21:15,667 --> 00:21:17,123
Fitzharris: We know that
bob marshall,
520
00:21:17,147 --> 00:21:19,163
The senior cop leading
the investigation,
521
00:21:19,187 --> 00:21:22,112
Told albert evans, the
first cop on the scene,
522
00:21:22,147 --> 00:21:23,632
To look away from the evidence
523
00:21:23,667 --> 00:21:25,627
Of an altercation
involving brian.
524
00:21:26,627 --> 00:21:28,363
But journalist
scott jones thinks
525
00:21:28,387 --> 00:21:30,347
The police went
one step further.
526
00:21:32,227 --> 00:21:35,072
Jones: There are notes at the
bottom of albert's statement
527
00:21:35,107 --> 00:21:38,992
In bob marshall's handwriting,
details about drugs.
528
00:21:39,027 --> 00:21:41,792
Brian jones he clearly was under
529
00:21:41,827 --> 00:21:44,199
A doctor in london we know that,
530
00:21:44,274 --> 00:21:45,963
And we know, obviously,
from the records
531
00:21:45,987 --> 00:21:48,832
That these were the drugs that
the doctor was giving him.
532
00:21:48,867 --> 00:21:52,592
But bob marshall's
hand-written notes
533
00:21:52,627 --> 00:21:54,352
Have been turned into evidence
534
00:21:54,387 --> 00:21:57,392
That's attributed
to albert evans.
535
00:21:57,427 --> 00:21:59,530
That isn't what you
would normally expect
536
00:21:59,554 --> 00:22:03,632
From a proper full and
fair police investigation.
537
00:22:03,707 --> 00:22:06,272
(suspenseful music)
538
00:22:06,347 --> 00:22:09,072
Fitzharris: So bob marshall is
adding the presence
539
00:22:09,107 --> 00:22:11,559
Of drugs to albert evans'
original statement.
540
00:22:11,634 --> 00:22:13,643
Hook: Maybe to push the
drugs overdose angle?
541
00:22:13,667 --> 00:22:15,803
And if that was the case,
it certainly worked
542
00:22:15,827 --> 00:22:17,952
Because the tabloid press jumped
543
00:22:17,987 --> 00:22:19,792
On the anti-drugs bandwagon.
544
00:22:19,827 --> 00:22:23,152
They assumed that brian jones
had got what he deserved.
545
00:22:23,187 --> 00:22:24,410
Fitzharris: This
police investigation
546
00:22:24,434 --> 00:22:25,712
Into brian jones's death
547
00:22:25,747 --> 00:22:27,799
Is looking curiouser
and curiouser.
548
00:22:29,507 --> 00:22:32,719
Brian jones was one of rock
n roll's first casualties
549
00:22:32,754 --> 00:22:36,359
Drowned in his swimming pool in
the summer of 1969.
550
00:22:36,434 --> 00:22:40,752
Its quickly decided to be an
alcohol and drugs related death
551
00:22:40,787 --> 00:22:43,123
But we've discovered that the
police investigation at the time
552
00:22:43,147 --> 00:22:44,919
Is full of inconsistencies
553
00:22:46,227 --> 00:22:48,337
Retired detective
inspector stuart booth
554
00:22:48,361 --> 00:22:51,159
From the sussex police had
to manage any new evidence
555
00:22:51,234 --> 00:22:54,097
That emerged in this case
throughout the 1980s and 90s.
556
00:22:54,121 --> 00:22:55,599
(gentle music)
557
00:22:55,634 --> 00:22:57,163
Booth: If you look
at the contents
558
00:22:57,187 --> 00:22:58,912
Of these witness statements,
559
00:22:58,987 --> 00:23:01,159
It says that the
statement was taken
560
00:23:01,234 --> 00:23:04,672
In the presence of chief
inspector marshall.
561
00:23:04,707 --> 00:23:06,483
It is unusual for
a senior officer
562
00:23:06,507 --> 00:23:08,337
To sit in for a statement.
563
00:23:08,361 --> 00:23:11,999
It doesn't give an independent
view of what's being said.
564
00:23:13,227 --> 00:23:15,617
He's only sitting
in for one purpose.
565
00:23:15,641 --> 00:23:18,359
Control of the inquiry.
566
00:23:19,867 --> 00:23:22,472
Fitzharris: In 2008,
chief inspector bob marshall
567
00:23:22,547 --> 00:23:24,203
Went on record to
say he was happy
568
00:23:24,227 --> 00:23:25,937
With the result of the inquest.
569
00:23:25,961 --> 00:23:27,472
But at the time,
570
00:23:27,507 --> 00:23:29,712
Could someone have been
putting pressure on him?
571
00:23:29,747 --> 00:23:32,352
Jones: It's true to say that
the police investigation
572
00:23:32,387 --> 00:23:35,392
On the ground everything
stopped with bob marshall.
573
00:23:35,427 --> 00:23:37,872
But what's also true is that
574
00:23:37,907 --> 00:23:41,472
Cid officers would not
risk their own careers
575
00:23:41,507 --> 00:23:45,792
And reputation by
carrying out cover ups
576
00:23:45,827 --> 00:23:47,443
If they didn't think they
were gonna get away with it,
577
00:23:47,467 --> 00:23:49,083
And the only way
they'd get away with it
578
00:23:49,107 --> 00:23:52,432
Is if they knew they had
the support from above them.
579
00:23:52,467 --> 00:23:54,999
I think it's highly
likely that the pressure
580
00:23:55,747 --> 00:23:58,039
That sussex constabulary
would have been under
581
00:23:58,114 --> 00:24:00,432
Would have come from
the home office.
582
00:24:00,467 --> 00:24:01,530
Fitzharris: Well that's an
interesting angle
583
00:24:01,554 --> 00:24:02,752
From scott jones,
584
00:24:02,787 --> 00:24:04,872
But tell me what's
the home office?
585
00:24:04,947 --> 00:24:06,923
Hook: The home office is a
government department.
586
00:24:06,947 --> 00:24:10,512
It supervises all the police
forces in the united kingdom.
587
00:24:10,547 --> 00:24:12,363
It's kind of like your
department of justice.
588
00:24:12,387 --> 00:24:14,912
You gotta remember
this is the 1960s.
589
00:24:14,947 --> 00:24:17,592
The government have effectively
declared war on drugs.
590
00:24:17,667 --> 00:24:19,712
They're terrified
of the drug culture,
591
00:24:19,787 --> 00:24:23,639
So anybody that falls
foul of that drug culture
592
00:24:23,714 --> 00:24:26,992
And is high profile, as far as
they're concerned, is great.
593
00:24:27,027 --> 00:24:30,312
(dramatic music)
594
00:24:30,387 --> 00:24:32,679
Fitzharris: This war on drugs
is fascinating.
595
00:24:32,754 --> 00:24:35,472
Scott jones' investigation
took him deep into the links
596
00:24:35,507 --> 00:24:37,483
Between the government,
the police force,
597
00:24:37,507 --> 00:24:39,759
And even coroners
in the late '60s.
598
00:24:41,747 --> 00:24:43,323
Jones: We have a copy
of the letter here
599
00:24:43,347 --> 00:24:46,199
From the home office
written by peter beedle,
600
00:24:46,274 --> 00:24:47,857
A senior civil servant
601
00:24:47,881 --> 00:24:50,352
To the coroner who
led the inquest
602
00:24:50,427 --> 00:24:52,952
Into brian jones's death.
603
00:24:53,027 --> 00:24:55,457
He says, "you have kindly
agreed to let me have a copy
604
00:24:55,481 --> 00:24:58,432
"of the post mortem
examination report.
605
00:24:58,467 --> 00:25:02,112
"I am very grateful for
your cooperation."
606
00:25:02,147 --> 00:25:06,152
Now if we're to believe
that brian jones
607
00:25:06,227 --> 00:25:09,552
Accidentally drowned
in his swimming pool,
608
00:25:09,587 --> 00:25:12,177
Why on earth does a
senior civil servant
609
00:25:12,201 --> 00:25:14,457
Need to be kept informed?
610
00:25:14,481 --> 00:25:16,439
It just doesn't go together.
611
00:25:17,341 --> 00:25:20,192
Clearly they were happy
to try and get the message
612
00:25:20,227 --> 00:25:22,267
That they wanted out
there about drugs.
613
00:25:22,967 --> 00:25:24,843
Fitzharris: Well, that's
certainly a cracker of a theory
614
00:25:24,867 --> 00:25:26,312
From scott jones.
615
00:25:26,387 --> 00:25:28,483
That the home office put
pressure on the police.
616
00:25:28,507 --> 00:25:30,912
Hook: I mean, I don't think that
there was a direct order
617
00:25:30,947 --> 00:25:32,272
From the home office,
618
00:25:32,307 --> 00:25:34,203
But I just think
that some strings
619
00:25:34,227 --> 00:25:35,479
Were probably being pulled,
620
00:25:35,554 --> 00:25:37,632
And I'm sure that
the sussex police,
621
00:25:37,667 --> 00:25:40,832
Way down the bottom felt
those strings being tugged
622
00:25:40,867 --> 00:25:43,912
And will be more than happy
to please their masters.
623
00:25:43,987 --> 00:25:45,003
Fitzharris: Well, it's
certainly compelling,
624
00:25:45,027 --> 00:25:46,512
The idea that the cover up goes
625
00:25:46,547 --> 00:25:48,912
All the way to the
top, to the government.
626
00:25:48,987 --> 00:25:50,992
(dramatic music)
627
00:25:51,027 --> 00:25:52,839
According to the inquest,
628
00:25:52,914 --> 00:25:55,163
There are only three witnesses
at cotchford farm that night,
629
00:25:55,187 --> 00:25:57,187
And their statements
are problematic.
630
00:25:57,707 --> 00:26:00,432
But albert evans, the
first cop to arrive,
631
00:26:00,467 --> 00:26:02,283
Claims he speaks
to several people,
632
00:26:02,307 --> 00:26:04,759
Who were still at cotchford
farm when he got there.
633
00:26:06,467 --> 00:26:10,112
We've uncovered a fascinating
interview from the early 1990s
634
00:26:10,147 --> 00:26:12,359
With brian jones' neighbor,
mary hallett.
635
00:26:12,434 --> 00:26:13,952
She worked as his cleaner
636
00:26:13,987 --> 00:26:16,352
And her house is a spitting
distance from his.
637
00:26:16,387 --> 00:26:18,879
Surely, she would know
who was there that night?
638
00:26:20,307 --> 00:26:22,203
Hallett: The day before
brian died,
639
00:26:22,227 --> 00:26:24,992
He was telling me that
he'd got people coming down
640
00:26:25,027 --> 00:26:28,272
That evening because
he was having a party.
641
00:26:28,307 --> 00:26:31,072
There was quite a
noise down there,
642
00:26:31,107 --> 00:26:34,432
Music and people's voices.
643
00:26:34,467 --> 00:26:36,497
Later on, midnight-ish,
644
00:26:36,521 --> 00:26:39,639
We came out and we saw
police with walkie talkies.
645
00:26:39,714 --> 00:26:41,392
(dramatic music)
646
00:26:41,427 --> 00:26:43,563
Fitzharris: If this is true,
there's a huge party
647
00:26:43,587 --> 00:26:46,272
At brian's mansion
on the night he dies.
648
00:26:46,307 --> 00:26:47,803
But there aren't any
witness statements
649
00:26:47,827 --> 00:26:49,872
From any of these
other party goers.
650
00:26:49,907 --> 00:26:51,752
And even more curious,
651
00:26:51,827 --> 00:26:53,963
There is a witness statement
from the rolling stones minder,
652
00:26:53,987 --> 00:26:57,239
Tom keylock, who says he wasn't
even there when brian died.
653
00:26:58,547 --> 00:26:59,952
But if there's this big party,
654
00:26:59,987 --> 00:27:02,199
Why do we only have
four witness statements?
655
00:27:02,274 --> 00:27:04,312
And one of them is
from tom keylock,
656
00:27:04,387 --> 00:27:06,512
Who says that he
arrived at 3:30 a.M.?
657
00:27:06,547 --> 00:27:08,483
He wasn't even there
when brian died.
658
00:27:08,507 --> 00:27:10,363
Hook: Yeah, but, if you look
at these photographs,
659
00:27:10,387 --> 00:27:11,712
You can see tom keylock dealing
660
00:27:11,747 --> 00:27:13,643
With the press the
following morning.
661
00:27:13,667 --> 00:27:15,457
It certainly looks like
he's at the center of this.
662
00:27:15,481 --> 00:27:17,112
He's commanding things.
663
00:27:17,187 --> 00:27:18,839
He's orchestrating them.
664
00:27:18,914 --> 00:27:21,137
Fitzharris: Yet, in the midst
of all this pandemonium,
665
00:27:21,161 --> 00:27:23,392
While the press is
clamoring for answers,
666
00:27:23,427 --> 00:27:26,152
Tom keylock seems to
be very much in charge.
667
00:27:26,227 --> 00:27:27,599
(suspenseful music)
668
00:27:27,634 --> 00:27:29,643
He is having to deal
with a shocking event.
669
00:27:29,667 --> 00:27:32,992
One of the world's most famous
rock stars is suddenly dead.
670
00:27:33,027 --> 00:27:34,512
(suspenseful music)
671
00:27:34,547 --> 00:27:37,112
If the police in 1969
were reluctant to pursue
672
00:27:37,187 --> 00:27:38,843
The full truth of what
happened that night
673
00:27:38,867 --> 00:27:40,719
At cotchford farm, I'm not.
674
00:27:41,954 --> 00:27:43,914
Tom keylock, died
a few years ago,
675
00:27:44,707 --> 00:27:46,163
But film producer
stephen woolley
676
00:27:46,187 --> 00:27:48,752
Took a special interest in him.
677
00:27:48,827 --> 00:27:54,312
Woolley: Tom keylock was a
london cockney who had glasses
678
00:27:54,387 --> 00:27:57,159
And a demeanor like a
very rough michael caine.
679
00:27:57,234 --> 00:27:59,617
He was a road manager
680
00:27:59,641 --> 00:28:02,592
Or security man for
the rolling stones.
681
00:28:02,667 --> 00:28:06,272
Tough, didn't take
no nonsense guy.
682
00:28:06,307 --> 00:28:07,963
Had a strange
relationship with brian
683
00:28:07,987 --> 00:28:11,072
Because tom would be sort
of taking these girls
684
00:28:11,107 --> 00:28:12,323
Who were throwing
themselves at brian,
685
00:28:12,347 --> 00:28:14,952
Taking advantage
in order to live
686
00:28:15,027 --> 00:28:17,199
The rolling stones
lifestyle himself.
687
00:28:19,187 --> 00:28:20,363
Fitzharris: Keylock
says he arrives
688
00:28:20,387 --> 00:28:22,497
At cotchford farm at 3:30 a.M.
689
00:28:22,521 --> 00:28:24,592
But, what is he
doing before then?
690
00:28:24,667 --> 00:28:26,199
Tom's account of that evening
691
00:28:26,274 --> 00:28:28,592
Is called into question
by terry rawlings,
692
00:28:28,627 --> 00:28:32,112
An author who became obsessed
with the death of brian jones.
693
00:28:32,147 --> 00:28:33,472
What's really cool is that
694
00:28:33,507 --> 00:28:35,323
He managed to track
down tom keylock
695
00:28:35,347 --> 00:28:37,592
And took him back
to cotchford farm.
696
00:28:37,667 --> 00:28:41,472
And lucky for us, he
filmed the whole thing.
697
00:28:41,507 --> 00:28:44,112
This is the first time
some of this extraordinary
698
00:28:44,187 --> 00:28:47,159
And unique footage has been
shown to a tv audience.
699
00:28:47,234 --> 00:28:49,232
(dramatic music)
700
00:28:49,307 --> 00:28:50,763
Rawlings: I became
quite close with tom,
701
00:28:50,787 --> 00:28:54,239
And his guard went down
quite a lot with me.
702
00:29:17,907 --> 00:29:19,137
The longer it went on that day,
703
00:29:19,161 --> 00:29:20,683
The less believable
tom's account
704
00:29:20,707 --> 00:29:22,839
Of his whereabouts
for that night became.
705
00:29:27,234 --> 00:29:28,250
Fitzharris: That sounds
really strange.
706
00:29:28,274 --> 00:29:29,817
Step me through the timeline.
707
00:29:29,841 --> 00:29:33,872
So tom returns back to redlands,
708
00:29:33,947 --> 00:29:36,912
And at some point on his
journey, he stops for dinner.
709
00:29:36,947 --> 00:29:40,792
In 1969, 10.30 p.M. In the
middle of the countryside,
710
00:29:40,867 --> 00:29:42,519
There will be nowhere open.
711
00:29:42,594 --> 00:29:44,177
Fitzharris: Do we know the name
of the restaurant?
712
00:29:44,201 --> 00:29:45,963
Did he, did he?
Hook: Nope, no details.
713
00:29:45,987 --> 00:29:48,112
Never been disclosed.
714
00:29:48,147 --> 00:29:49,432
After midnight,
715
00:29:49,507 --> 00:29:52,192
Tom is stopped by
a police officer
716
00:29:52,227 --> 00:29:54,272
And told that brian is dead.
717
00:29:54,307 --> 00:29:55,937
Fitzharris: Okay, so
a police officer
718
00:29:55,961 --> 00:29:57,872
Happens to come across his car
719
00:29:57,907 --> 00:29:59,617
And stops it for the
purpose of telling him
720
00:29:59,641 --> 00:30:00,912
That brian is dead.
721
00:30:00,947 --> 00:30:03,152
This seems really,
really unlikely.
722
00:30:03,187 --> 00:30:04,923
Hook: Yes, I have to
agree with you there.
723
00:30:04,947 --> 00:30:06,337
I really, really do.
724
00:30:06,361 --> 00:30:09,832
He then drives to cotchford farm
725
00:30:09,907 --> 00:30:14,272
Arriving there at 3:30 a.M.
726
00:30:14,307 --> 00:30:17,072
Fitzharris: Tom's account of his
movements is hardly convincing.
727
00:30:17,147 --> 00:30:19,592
But I know that terry rawlings
manages to catch up with him
728
00:30:19,667 --> 00:30:22,159
Much later in life in 2009.
729
00:30:22,754 --> 00:30:24,523
Rawlings: Tom would
give things away
730
00:30:24,547 --> 00:30:26,497
Over the course of an
evening's drinking,
731
00:30:26,521 --> 00:30:27,610
And in the morning
he'd sober up,
732
00:30:27,634 --> 00:30:29,152
And go, "I never said that."
733
00:30:29,187 --> 00:30:31,592
You had to try and catch him out
734
00:30:31,667 --> 00:30:33,617
Because he was so
well rehearsed.
735
00:30:33,641 --> 00:30:34,641
(dramatic music)
736
00:30:54,867 --> 00:30:57,152
Fitzharris: Forty years later
it seems like tom keylock
737
00:30:57,187 --> 00:31:00,032
Is admitting he was there at
the time of brian's death.
738
00:31:00,107 --> 00:31:01,432
(dramatic music)
739
00:31:01,507 --> 00:31:02,963
It's pretty clear
now that tom keylock
740
00:31:02,987 --> 00:31:05,312
Must have been
lying back in 1969,
741
00:31:05,347 --> 00:31:08,152
And so it seems
was everyone else.
742
00:31:08,227 --> 00:31:09,479
None of the witnesses mention
743
00:31:09,554 --> 00:31:11,514
That tom was there
when brian died.
744
00:31:13,441 --> 00:31:18,112
Scott jones managed to
interview anna wohlin in 2011.
745
00:31:18,147 --> 00:31:20,672
Jones: I went over to
stockholm to meet anna.
746
00:31:20,707 --> 00:31:22,832
She told me that her statement
747
00:31:22,867 --> 00:31:26,839
Had been effectively
dictated by bob marshall.
748
00:31:26,914 --> 00:31:29,632
When I asked her
why she was willing
749
00:31:29,667 --> 00:31:31,952
To have signed that statement,
750
00:31:31,987 --> 00:31:36,472
It became clear that anna
was very, very disorientated
751
00:31:36,547 --> 00:31:38,752
On the night of
brian jones's death.
752
00:31:38,787 --> 00:31:41,632
Clearly sort of drunk
and possibly high
753
00:31:41,667 --> 00:31:45,072
And incapable of giving
a coherent statement.
754
00:31:45,107 --> 00:31:46,792
(dramatic music)
755
00:31:46,867 --> 00:31:48,363
Fitzharris: Anna's not
the only one.
756
00:31:48,387 --> 00:31:49,697
One of the other witnesses named
757
00:31:49,721 --> 00:31:52,112
In the inquest file,
janet lawson,
758
00:31:52,187 --> 00:31:54,999
Also wanted to revise the
statement she gave at the time.
759
00:31:57,107 --> 00:31:59,472
Jones: Janet described her
own statement to me
760
00:31:59,507 --> 00:32:01,392
As a pack of lies,
761
00:32:01,467 --> 00:32:04,817
Lies that were set out
by sussex constabulary.
762
00:32:04,841 --> 00:32:06,523
On a false promise
from the police.
763
00:32:06,547 --> 00:32:08,283
That false promise
being you can come back
764
00:32:08,307 --> 00:32:09,632
And give another full statement
765
00:32:09,667 --> 00:32:11,530
When you're ready
in your own time.
766
00:32:11,554 --> 00:32:13,872
She was never given
that opportunity.
767
00:32:13,907 --> 00:32:15,639
Janet was absolutely certain
768
00:32:15,714 --> 00:32:17,152
That there was a party going on
769
00:32:17,187 --> 00:32:19,392
At brian jones's house
the night he died.
770
00:32:19,427 --> 00:32:21,552
That explains why
when albert evans
771
00:32:21,587 --> 00:32:23,610
Turned up on the scene
just after midnight,
772
00:32:23,634 --> 00:32:25,752
The first pc to arrive,
773
00:32:25,827 --> 00:32:27,947
He interviewed lots of
people in the garden.
774
00:32:30,201 --> 00:32:32,361
Fitzharris: Both janet lawson
& anna wohlin
775
00:32:32,434 --> 00:32:35,072
Go back on their
1969 statements.
776
00:32:35,107 --> 00:32:36,730
But these retractions
never make it
777
00:32:36,754 --> 00:32:38,817
Into the official police report.
778
00:32:38,841 --> 00:32:40,672
(gentle music)
779
00:32:40,707 --> 00:32:43,003
So what are the key players
really doing that night?
780
00:32:43,027 --> 00:32:44,657
Movie producer stephen woolley,
781
00:32:44,681 --> 00:32:48,192
Spoke to janet about 40
years after brian's death.
782
00:32:48,227 --> 00:32:49,457
Woolley: She started to talk
783
00:32:49,481 --> 00:32:51,719
About tom keylock in
the interview.
784
00:32:51,794 --> 00:32:54,352
And it became
apparent to me that
785
00:32:54,387 --> 00:32:58,672
That's why she was at
cotchford farm was to see tom.
786
00:32:58,707 --> 00:33:01,137
She was not there to
see frank thorogood.
787
00:33:01,161 --> 00:33:05,312
Janet was actually
tom keylock's mistress
788
00:33:05,347 --> 00:33:09,712
And would meet tom at the
house to have their own tryst.
789
00:33:09,747 --> 00:33:11,639
(suspenseful music)
790
00:33:11,714 --> 00:33:13,883
Fitzharris: Tom was having
an affair with janet.
791
00:33:13,907 --> 00:33:16,432
That's why tom is there,
to see janet.
792
00:33:16,507 --> 00:33:19,872
Now we know why he spins so
many lies about his whereabouts.
793
00:33:19,907 --> 00:33:23,712
He's married & covering up
this illicit relationship.
794
00:33:23,747 --> 00:33:25,323
But there's one more
person who's movements
795
00:33:25,347 --> 00:33:27,472
That night need
more investigation.
796
00:33:27,507 --> 00:33:29,519
The builder, frank thorogood.
797
00:33:33,747 --> 00:33:35,912
In the mysterious death
of brian jones
798
00:33:35,987 --> 00:33:38,832
We've so far established that
key evidence is ignored
799
00:33:38,867 --> 00:33:40,843
There are inconsistent
witness statements
800
00:33:40,867 --> 00:33:44,399
And now, a cover up
elicit relationship
801
00:33:45,801 --> 00:33:47,672
Brian, help me summarize a bit.
802
00:33:47,747 --> 00:33:50,432
Frank wasn't having an affair
with janet, is that correct?
803
00:33:50,467 --> 00:33:53,697
Hook: No, tom was having
the affair with janet.
804
00:33:53,721 --> 00:33:57,152
That's why he says he
was miles and miles away.
805
00:33:57,187 --> 00:33:59,952
He invents this
cock and bull story.
806
00:33:59,987 --> 00:34:02,239
But I've found out a
bit more about frank.
807
00:34:03,641 --> 00:34:06,272
Woolley: What happened as well,
808
00:34:06,307 --> 00:34:08,839
I mean, which wasn't
reported in the newspapers,
809
00:34:08,914 --> 00:34:11,799
Was frank wasn't being
paid for the work
810
00:34:11,874 --> 00:34:15,232
That he was engaged
in, in the house.
811
00:34:15,267 --> 00:34:20,039
Frank was fired being told he
would be paid at a later date.
812
00:34:20,807 --> 00:34:22,803
Fitzharris: So frank thorogood
had just found out
813
00:34:22,827 --> 00:34:25,799
That his lifestyle at brian's
party house might be ending.
814
00:34:27,187 --> 00:34:28,912
Now that's interesting.
815
00:34:28,987 --> 00:34:31,632
Hook: Yeah, because the rolling
stones office had decided,
816
00:34:31,667 --> 00:34:34,432
That as brian was no longer
a member of the band,
817
00:34:34,467 --> 00:34:36,177
They were not gonna
pay his bills.
818
00:34:36,201 --> 00:34:38,112
(gentle music)
819
00:34:38,147 --> 00:34:39,883
Fitzharris: Frank thorogood,
is a builder who's been living
820
00:34:39,907 --> 00:34:41,803
And working at brian's
house all summer.
821
00:34:41,827 --> 00:34:44,152
He's also, crucially,
the last person
822
00:34:44,227 --> 00:34:45,432
In the pool with brian.
823
00:34:45,507 --> 00:34:47,159
Even frank himself admits this
824
00:34:47,234 --> 00:34:49,472
In his statement to the police.
825
00:34:49,507 --> 00:34:51,959
Stuart booth uncovered
some astonishing
826
00:34:52,034 --> 00:34:53,872
And unexpected new evidence.
827
00:34:53,907 --> 00:34:55,632
(dramatic music)
828
00:34:55,667 --> 00:34:58,359
Booth: One day I walked
into my office
829
00:34:58,434 --> 00:35:04,159
And found a statement of
detective sergeant mike harvey.
830
00:35:04,194 --> 00:35:07,152
I had never seen it before
in the coroner's report.
831
00:35:07,187 --> 00:35:08,999
It was not in there.
832
00:35:10,467 --> 00:35:12,912
Basically, he had been called
out to search the place,
833
00:35:12,947 --> 00:35:16,432
And he had found
some drugs, durophet,
834
00:35:16,467 --> 00:35:19,392
In the coat pocket
of frank thorogood.
835
00:35:19,467 --> 00:35:23,312
On that statement it says
"cautioned" in handwriting.
836
00:35:23,347 --> 00:35:25,759
But in those days,
837
00:35:25,794 --> 00:35:27,792
They would seek to prosecute
838
00:35:27,827 --> 00:35:31,232
Anybody committing
an offense of drugs.
839
00:35:31,267 --> 00:35:33,752
(dramatic music)
840
00:35:33,827 --> 00:35:35,272
Fitzharris: Frank thorogood
841
00:35:35,347 --> 00:35:36,410
The last man to be in
the pool with brian
842
00:35:36,434 --> 00:35:38,152
They let him off with a caution.
843
00:35:38,227 --> 00:35:41,112
But he has a big packet of
brian's drugs in his pocket.
844
00:35:41,187 --> 00:35:43,952
And the police decide not
to let the coroner know
845
00:35:43,987 --> 00:35:46,497
And remove the statement
about it from the file.
846
00:35:46,521 --> 00:35:48,519
But remember the
mysterious spots
847
00:35:48,594 --> 00:35:50,410
Mentioned in the
pathology report
848
00:35:50,434 --> 00:35:52,512
Found on the
chromatography test?
849
00:35:52,547 --> 00:35:54,250
Could these spots be
linked to the drugs
850
00:35:54,274 --> 00:35:55,952
Frank was in possession of?
851
00:35:55,987 --> 00:35:57,472
(dramatic music)
852
00:35:57,507 --> 00:35:59,563
So I just found out that
brian jones's builder
853
00:35:59,587 --> 00:36:01,643
Had a drug called
durophet in his pocket.
854
00:36:01,667 --> 00:36:02,810
Does that mean anything to you?
855
00:36:02,834 --> 00:36:04,312
Burks: It does.
856
00:36:04,387 --> 00:36:06,363
I've got a note written
by brian jones's doctor.
857
00:36:06,387 --> 00:36:10,112
It lists all of the
prescriptions he gave jones.
858
00:36:10,147 --> 00:36:12,272
One of them is durophet,
859
00:36:12,307 --> 00:36:14,203
Active ingredient
is amphetamine.
860
00:36:14,227 --> 00:36:15,530
Fitzharris: Okay,
that's interesting.
861
00:36:15,554 --> 00:36:17,563
Burks: Now it lists
other drugs as well.
862
00:36:17,587 --> 00:36:20,512
Mandrex for sleeping,
valium as a tranquilizer.
863
00:36:20,547 --> 00:36:22,272
A medihaler for asthma,
864
00:36:22,307 --> 00:36:23,792
And piriton for hay fever.
865
00:36:23,827 --> 00:36:25,883
Fitzharris: That sounds like
a lot of drugs.
866
00:36:25,907 --> 00:36:28,497
Now could any of these drugs
be responsible for the spots
867
00:36:28,521 --> 00:36:31,552
That we're seeing on the thin
layer chromatography test?
868
00:36:31,627 --> 00:36:33,283
Burks: The only way
we'd know for sure
869
00:36:33,307 --> 00:36:36,272
Is to run the exact same test
870
00:36:36,347 --> 00:36:39,232
Using all of our new
drugs of interest.
871
00:36:39,307 --> 00:36:41,210
And that's exactly what
I got my fellow chemist,
872
00:36:41,234 --> 00:36:43,432
Dr. Agatha grayler,
to do for us.
873
00:36:43,507 --> 00:36:45,643
Fitzharris: All right, well,
let's see what her results are.
874
00:36:45,667 --> 00:36:47,152
Burks: Let's give her a call.
875
00:36:47,187 --> 00:36:49,152
Hi, agatha, I'm
here with lindsey.
876
00:36:49,187 --> 00:36:50,592
Fitzharris: Hey.
877
00:36:50,627 --> 00:36:51,857
Grayler: Hi, lindsey
nice to meet you.
878
00:36:51,881 --> 00:36:53,323
Fitzharris: Yeah nice
to meet you.
879
00:36:53,347 --> 00:36:55,083
I hear you've done
some tests for us.
880
00:36:55,107 --> 00:36:57,432
Grayler: Yes, I ran all the
drugs that are on
881
00:36:57,507 --> 00:36:59,992
Brian jones's prescription
note from his doctor.
882
00:37:00,067 --> 00:37:01,963
Fitzharris: We're looking
specifically for purple
883
00:37:01,987 --> 00:37:04,519
And yellow orangey spots.
884
00:37:04,594 --> 00:37:05,872
Did you find anything?
885
00:37:05,907 --> 00:37:07,907
Grayler: Well, I did
find some spots,
886
00:37:08,627 --> 00:37:10,752
And they are purple.
887
00:37:10,787 --> 00:37:12,432
Fitzharris: Oh, great!
888
00:37:12,467 --> 00:37:13,712
(women exclaiming)
889
00:37:13,747 --> 00:37:15,072
Look at that.
890
00:37:15,107 --> 00:37:16,683
Okay, so what does
that indicate?
891
00:37:16,707 --> 00:37:20,377
Grayler: Well, these spots
were for antihistamines,
892
00:37:20,401 --> 00:37:22,952
Which is anti-allergic tablets.
893
00:37:23,027 --> 00:37:24,592
Fitzharris: That's interesting.
894
00:37:24,627 --> 00:37:26,043
Burks: Well, one of the well
- known side effects
895
00:37:26,067 --> 00:37:28,792
Of most antihistamines
is drowsiness.
896
00:37:28,867 --> 00:37:30,443
Fitzharris: So that could have
been a contributing factor
897
00:37:30,467 --> 00:37:32,112
To the reason why he drowned?
898
00:37:32,147 --> 00:37:35,872
(dramatic music)
899
00:37:35,907 --> 00:37:38,112
Our new test has resolved
one major question
900
00:37:38,147 --> 00:37:40,152
About brian jones's death.
901
00:37:40,227 --> 00:37:42,519
Antihistamines
combined with alcohol
902
00:37:42,594 --> 00:37:44,912
Could have been a
dangerous sedative.
903
00:37:44,947 --> 00:37:48,679
However, the mysterious
spots weren't durophet.
904
00:37:48,754 --> 00:37:51,210
But we do know that frank was
in possession of these drugs,
905
00:37:51,234 --> 00:37:52,679
Which belonged to brian.
906
00:37:52,754 --> 00:37:54,763
And when frank was
questioned by the cops,
907
00:37:54,787 --> 00:37:57,632
He said he was in charge
of giving them to brian.
908
00:37:57,667 --> 00:37:59,617
Everything is pointing
at frank being involved
909
00:37:59,641 --> 00:38:02,752
In some way in brian's death
the drugs in the pocket,
910
00:38:02,787 --> 00:38:05,137
Which he could have been
using to spike him with.
911
00:38:05,161 --> 00:38:06,672
Frank doesn't get paid that day,
912
00:38:06,707 --> 00:38:09,312
So he feels that brian
owes him a lot of money.
913
00:38:09,347 --> 00:38:11,792
And he's the last one
in the pool.
914
00:38:11,827 --> 00:38:13,883
There's a lot of evidence
mounting against frank,
915
00:38:13,907 --> 00:38:15,937
But would this case
make it to court?
916
00:38:15,961 --> 00:38:17,792
Hook: Good question.
917
00:38:17,827 --> 00:38:19,850
There is a lot of evidence,
but it's all circumstantial.
918
00:38:19,874 --> 00:38:21,803
Fitzharris: And frank
sticks to his story.
919
00:38:21,827 --> 00:38:24,312
He maintains that he
left brian in the pool,
920
00:38:24,387 --> 00:38:26,137
Happily swimming away.
921
00:38:26,161 --> 00:38:27,803
Hook: Yeah, in my
experience though,
922
00:38:27,827 --> 00:38:30,192
People that have been
involved in a major incident
923
00:38:30,227 --> 00:38:31,712
Change as they get older,
924
00:38:31,747 --> 00:38:33,352
And that's a burden on them.
925
00:38:33,427 --> 00:38:35,872
And if you keep a secret
for too long,
926
00:38:35,947 --> 00:38:38,112
That burden becomes
really heavy.
927
00:38:38,147 --> 00:38:39,563
Fitzharris: Well, it's funny
that you should say that
928
00:38:39,587 --> 00:38:41,232
Because there were some people
929
00:38:41,267 --> 00:38:43,639
That just couldn't
leave this story alone.
930
00:38:45,074 --> 00:38:47,392
Terry rawlings followed
this case for years
931
00:38:47,467 --> 00:38:49,690
And he spoke to frank and tom
at length about it.
932
00:38:49,714 --> 00:38:53,479
In 1993 he persuaded them both
back to cotchford farm
933
00:38:53,554 --> 00:38:57,072
To relive that night,
hoping to get to the truth
934
00:38:57,107 --> 00:38:58,799
And he filmed it all.
935
00:39:01,347 --> 00:39:03,483
Fitzharris: Twenty-five years
after brian jones's death,
936
00:39:03,507 --> 00:39:05,952
Journalist terry rawlings
persuades key players
937
00:39:05,987 --> 00:39:07,952
Tom keylock and frank thorogood
938
00:39:07,987 --> 00:39:09,947
To revisit the scene
of the death.
939
00:39:11,347 --> 00:39:13,792
Rawlings: We was not the
greatest of film crews,
940
00:39:13,827 --> 00:39:15,999
But we had microphones
dotted around.
941
00:39:16,867 --> 00:39:18,432
We wanted them to slip up
942
00:39:18,507 --> 00:39:21,072
And stray away from that story
they'd been sticking to
943
00:39:21,107 --> 00:39:24,679
And get just that little bit
more of the jigsaw puzzle.
944
00:39:55,627 --> 00:39:57,297
They was getting more
and more uncomfortable
945
00:39:57,321 --> 00:39:59,712
About being there
the longer it went on.
946
00:39:59,747 --> 00:40:01,530
I don't find anything
convincing about
947
00:40:01,554 --> 00:40:02,923
How they're conversing
with each other
948
00:40:02,947 --> 00:40:05,552
At all about the night.
949
00:40:05,627 --> 00:40:07,472
(gentle music)
950
00:40:07,507 --> 00:40:09,443
Fitzharris: So terry didn't
catch them out that time.
951
00:40:09,467 --> 00:40:12,112
Yet, like a lot of people
as the years went on,
952
00:40:12,147 --> 00:40:14,112
Frank kept talking
to journalists,
953
00:40:14,147 --> 00:40:16,152
To investigators, to friends.
954
00:40:16,227 --> 00:40:17,552
And guess what?
955
00:40:17,587 --> 00:40:19,559
Terry filmed one
of frank's "chats".
956
00:40:28,227 --> 00:40:29,552
(suspenseful music)
957
00:40:29,587 --> 00:40:31,163
Fitzharris:
Decades after the fact,
958
00:40:31,187 --> 00:40:32,992
Frank admits on camera
959
00:40:33,027 --> 00:40:36,912
That on the night of brian's
death he was the prime suspect.
960
00:40:36,987 --> 00:40:39,712
(suspenseful music)
961
00:40:39,747 --> 00:40:41,639
Frank died in 1993,
962
00:40:41,714 --> 00:40:43,319
And I can't help wishing we got
963
00:40:43,394 --> 00:40:45,952
A little bit more out of
him in that interview.
964
00:40:45,987 --> 00:40:48,272
But I know that shortly
after frank died,
965
00:40:48,347 --> 00:40:50,817
Terry rawlings filmed an
interview with tom keylock,
966
00:40:50,841 --> 00:40:52,839
The rolling stones tour manager,
967
00:40:52,914 --> 00:40:55,799
Who we now know was there
the night brian jones died.
968
00:40:55,874 --> 00:40:57,639
It was back at cotchford farm.
969
00:40:57,714 --> 00:41:00,512
And tom makes a
sensational claim
970
00:41:00,547 --> 00:41:03,159
About something frank
said just before he died.
971
00:41:33,267 --> 00:41:34,752
(suspenseful music)
972
00:41:34,787 --> 00:41:37,112
So what do you make of
what tom keylock says?
973
00:41:37,187 --> 00:41:39,792
Hook: I don't trust deathbed
confessions at all.
974
00:41:39,827 --> 00:41:41,163
Fitzharris: Well, it seems
like this is a secret
975
00:41:41,187 --> 00:41:42,643
That went to the grave
with frank.
976
00:41:42,667 --> 00:41:44,497
It's frustrating that so many
977
00:41:44,521 --> 00:41:47,359
Of the key players
have since died.
978
00:41:47,394 --> 00:41:49,210
But I know scott jones
recorded one of his
979
00:41:49,234 --> 00:41:51,632
Final conversations
with janet lawson,
980
00:41:51,707 --> 00:41:54,839
The nurse having an affair
with stones minder tom keylock.
981
00:41:54,914 --> 00:41:56,832
(dramatic music)
982
00:41:56,867 --> 00:41:58,192
Jones: If you were asked
983
00:41:58,227 --> 00:41:59,803
Is there a chance
that brian jones
984
00:41:59,827 --> 00:42:01,643
Could have simply drowned
would your answer be,
985
00:42:01,667 --> 00:42:05,112
Yes there's a chance, or is
that no something happened?
986
00:42:05,187 --> 00:42:08,832
Lawson: I think because of
the state that frank was in.
987
00:42:08,867 --> 00:42:10,432
I came back out of the house
988
00:42:10,467 --> 00:42:12,832
And brian was lying at
the bottom of the pool.
989
00:42:12,867 --> 00:42:14,472
Jones: Yeah
990
00:42:14,547 --> 00:42:16,323
Lawson: And frank was in the
kitchen shaking like a leaf.
991
00:42:16,347 --> 00:42:18,432
I mean why would frank
have been standing
992
00:42:18,507 --> 00:42:20,523
In the kitchen
absolutely terrified...
993
00:42:20,547 --> 00:42:21,872
Jones: Mm.
994
00:42:21,907 --> 00:42:22,752
Lawson: ...If something
hadn't happened?
995
00:42:22,787 --> 00:42:24,359
(ominous music)
996
00:42:24,434 --> 00:42:26,352
That's pretty condemning stuff
997
00:42:26,387 --> 00:42:28,359
From the mouth of a key witness.
998
00:42:28,434 --> 00:42:31,112
She believes frank did
something to brian.
999
00:42:31,187 --> 00:42:34,632
That's the strongest statement
yet that frank is the killer.
1000
00:42:34,707 --> 00:42:37,937
I wish frank thorogood was
still alive to answer to that.
1001
00:42:37,961 --> 00:42:39,872
(gentle music)
1002
00:42:39,947 --> 00:42:42,839
The death of brian jones
seemed so simple at the time
1003
00:42:42,914 --> 00:42:44,963
A rock and roll alcohol
and drugs drowning
1004
00:42:44,987 --> 00:42:46,519
In a swimming pool.
1005
00:42:46,594 --> 00:42:48,839
But it seemed it was
anything but simple.
1006
00:42:48,914 --> 00:42:50,203
And the people who
would have known
1007
00:42:50,227 --> 00:42:52,632
What happened have since died.
1008
00:42:52,707 --> 00:42:54,352
The death was ruled an accident.
1009
00:42:54,387 --> 00:42:56,363
But, was it something
more disturbing?
1010
00:42:56,387 --> 00:42:57,959
We will never know for sure,
1011
00:42:58,034 --> 00:43:00,912
But this my theory on
the death of brian jones.
1012
00:43:00,987 --> 00:43:03,799
(dramatic music)
1013
00:43:05,507 --> 00:43:07,639
This is what I now
believe to be the truth.
1014
00:43:07,714 --> 00:43:10,519
Frank thorogood is responsible
for brian's death.
1015
00:43:10,594 --> 00:43:13,112
There's just too much evidence
pointing at him.
1016
00:43:13,187 --> 00:43:15,552
I think that frank discovers
earlier that day
1017
00:43:15,587 --> 00:43:17,483
That he's not gonna
be paid for his work.
1018
00:43:17,507 --> 00:43:19,530
Resentment has been
mounting all summer.
1019
00:43:19,554 --> 00:43:21,112
Maybe he just snaps.
1020
00:43:21,187 --> 00:43:23,323
Maybe it's play fighting
that just goes wrong.
1021
00:43:23,347 --> 00:43:25,752
The first cop arrives
just after midnight.
1022
00:43:25,827 --> 00:43:27,552
He suspects foul play.
1023
00:43:27,587 --> 00:43:30,657
But when more senior officers
arrive around 3:00 a.M.,
1024
00:43:30,681 --> 00:43:35,152
They insist on it being an
alcohol and drugs related death.
1025
00:43:35,187 --> 00:43:37,632
Why? Because they know
that the government
1026
00:43:37,667 --> 00:43:40,792
Is keen to use high profile
drugs deaths
1027
00:43:40,867 --> 00:43:43,592
To discredit the counterculture
of the late '60s.
1028
00:43:43,667 --> 00:43:45,919
In a police investigation
that's riddled
1029
00:43:45,954 --> 00:43:48,199
With missing evidence
and unfollowed leads,
1030
00:43:48,274 --> 00:43:50,432
It's hard not to conclude
that brian jones
1031
00:43:50,507 --> 00:43:53,312
Is a victim of a miscarriage
of justice,
1032
00:43:53,347 --> 00:43:56,817
And his death will remain
wildly curious.
1033
00:43:56,841 --> 00:43:59,679
(dramatic music)
