Death of Stones' guitarist to be re-examined
Police in Sussex, UK are reviewing the investigation after being handed new information connected to the guitarist's death 40 years ago.
Jones was found dead at the bottom of a private swimming pool at a house in Sussex in July 1969. The police inquest at the time recorded a verdict of death by misadventure despite speculation that he was murdered.
A spokesperson for the police said it was too early to say whether a new investigation would be launched, but that new documents would be reviewed immediately.
Jones, who was 27 when he died, was a founding member of the Rolling Stones.
