I know this subject is not of supernatural nature, but it doesn't make it any less scary and dangerous.
When we go to social networks, we are looking for an environment where we can relax and find people with the same interests as we do to befriend.
That was my thought when I started to use my twitter account I had since 2008 in August last year. How wrong I was!
I met a "friend" that at first was the sweetest person I've ever met, he was an MJ RP, always telling how much he loved me, almost too good to be true... because it was...
After a while he asked me to block someone cause they were rude to him and I believed him and did, then some time later he came with the same thing but this time the someone that was rude to him was a good friend of mine, that I knew a lot better than I knew him. So I thought wait, something is fishy there and I waited to talk to her and found out it was the other way around.
The guy was a control freak that insulted and unfollowed her just because she didn't have an MJ logo on her twitter page, but the day before that he said he loved her so much.
The amazing thing was that the very next day I was the one with a nasty DM of his waiting for me calling me names, accusing me of playing with people's feelings and the list goes on just because I didn't comply with his order to block my friend. Truth is he was just getting started, this way his MO he would tell you to do something and if you didn't he would attack you, block you and tell others on DM to block you too cause you hurt him. This way nobody would ever know what really happened between his victims and himself and he could play the victim.
I started to meet lots of other people he did the same to and I couldn't be quiet cause I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT HE WON'T STOP and many more will be hurt in the future. So the other victims of his and me would talk about what he did to us in hopes others would see and be careful for the same not to happen to them, that's when the bullying started, he making jokes calling us haters, devils that our day was coming, threatening to make a movie to show the good and bad people in his life (a good way to expose us to his followers so more people could bully us), threatened to go to court because we were harassing him and finally put our @ names on his page lying that we were fake MJ fans that have hurt him and would hurt others asking people to please block us.
His last one, he wrote a twitlong talking about suicidal thoughts because the "hate club" according to him (talking about his victims that came out and spoke about what he did in public) hated him and wanted him gone and all the pity talk he could throw out but that a stranger was with him on the phone giving him strength not to kill himself and in the same twitlong he asked people not only to block us but to report us so we would be gone.
Guys social networking bullying is true and nobody is safe from suffering it, and the social network itself won't be much of a help to you. You know how many times this guy was reported? Hundreds and he just deletes tweets and keeps going. So be careful out there, specially with RPs of famous people and unverified pages of famous celebrities that you love. They surely are fakes but they will use the love you have for the celebrity they are portraying to get control over you, and you never know who is on the other side of the screen, can be a psychopath, a pedophile, a narcissistic and the list goes on.
The Ozone Disco Club located along Timog Avenue corner Tomas Morato Avenue in Quezon City, opened its door in 1991 and was owned by Segio Orgaoow. Nobody at the time could predict what the future had in store for it.
Right away the club attracted many young students and couples for a fun night out and became very popular but... in March 18th 1996 tragedy strikes.
The house was overcrowded with nearly 350 students (most of the club guests were high school and college students attending graduation or end-of-the-school-year celebrations) and 40 club employees although it had been approved for occupancy of only 35 people, when shortly before midnight at 11:35 pm a little fire sparkled for 3 to 4 times.
Survivors said at first they thought it was all part of the DJ's special effects but after some minutes flames broke out, engulfing the place and caused the mezzanine to collapse.
Many of the bodies that were discovered were along the corridor leading to the only exit, piled up waist-high and it was said that the emergency exit door was blocked by a new building next door and locked by the bodyguards thinking a riot was taking place inside the club and also there was no proper fire exit installed.
The final death count was reported as between 160 and 162 people but it the story doesn't end there. It just begins... some time after the fire rumors started to spread about the place being haunted.
People would pass by the Disco and see shadowy figures watching them from the broken windows, whispering coming from the cursed Club and some crazy photographers captured ghost photos too.
With time some mediums were brought to make contact with the spirits of the victims who gave details of what happened that tragic night and were still trapped in the nightmare just wanting to say goodbye to their loved ones to finally find some peace.
Yotsuya Kaidan, the story of Oiwa and Tamiya Lemon, is a tale of betrayal, murder and ghostly revenge.
One of the most famous Japanese legends it’s Oiwa, the woman mistreated by her husband that kills herself and comes back from the dead to exact her terrifying revenge.
Oiwa, a beautiful woman, aroused the greed of Lemon, a strong warrior. Oiwa also is fueled by love for the warrior, but Oiwa's father did not like Lemon and had a bad feeling about the boy and he were right. Seeing the father of Oiwa as an impediment in his way, on a day that Lemon was drunk and met with her father he killed him with a sword.
Liar, the killer tells Oiwa that she’ll be avenged by the killers of her father. Amazed at the goodness of the false liar, she surrenders to him and the two marry. Later, Oiwa becomes pregnant and gives birth to a baby, but she gets sick, suffering from postpartum depression and abandoned by Lemon, who gets more out than at home with his wife and son.
He then begins to show interest in Oume, daughter of a wealthy merchant. Oume was pretty bad though, and having Oiwa like a stone to hinder her path, plotted with Lemon a plan to get her out of the way once and for all. Oume gave Lemon a poison that would kill Oiwa. Lemon agreed, was selfish and Oume was rich. Lemon makes Oiwa take the poison, but she does not die, instead something terrible happens to her: her hair falls in large volume, and her beautiful face gets deformed, leaving her with a horrible appearance. Needed a pretext to separate from Oiwa, Lemon threats a local youth to seduce her. Frightened at the appearance of the woman, the young man confesses the entire plan of evil of Lemon and Oume. Bewildered and disturbed, Oiwa ends her own life by cutting her throat.
When Lemon hears what happened with Oiwa, he gets angry and kills the young man who spoiled his plan, tying him with the body of Oiwa and throwing them away in a river, and spreads to all the village that they were both lovers.
Sometime later Lemon marries Oume, but on their wedding night, Oiwa, who now became a vengeful spirit begins to haunt and disturb Lemon with macabre visions. Lemon, freaked and having macabre visions, eventually beheaded Oume since Oiwa, who only appeared to Lemon, made him look Oume but see herself, leading him to kill his wife. Oiwa did not stop there, made Lemon kill the father and mother of Oume too.
The end of the tale has many variations, from Lemon’s suicide by being driven crazy til that Oiwa could have killed him.
The people discover all the terrible plot and buries the body of Oiwa in order to give peace to the her spirit, but in vain. The hatred of the poor woman is so that her soul can not get rid of the bitterness, and so she is always launching vengeful curses on people. They say that if a person cynical and unaware visits the place where Oiwa’s body is buried, their face will be disfigured mysteriously.
Today, Oiwa's grave is inside the Temple Of Myookooji, near Sugamo Station Subway Mita Line. The temple was originally Yotshuya, but in 1909 moved to the current neighborhood. Oiwa's grave is at the foot of a tree and is a pilgrimage site for artists that represent the character in plays, such as Kabuki and summer theaters.
During World War II, various human atrocities were carried out by all sides that fought it. The Japanese in particular did not spare their enemies, so much that they were protagonists on an event that left a dark mark in history: The March Of Death From Sandakan.
In the midst of war many British and Australian soldiers were eventually captured by the Japanese in Borneo, Indonesia. Asians forced their prisoners to walk for more than 247 kilometers in a heat of nearly forty degrees without giving them food or water. Many died of starvation or dehydration. And everyone who complained were punctured or beheaded by Japanese bayonets.
Therefore only six prisoners survived, they were the ones that fled in moments of distraction from their guards, otherwise they would have died along with their companions. This cruel episode was very well known because it was an act of mass torture that went public.
And now, almost seventy years later, Major John Tulloch was retracing the route taken by prisoners and ended up taking a picture. And what was supposed to be a simple recollection picture of the place proved something much more impressive, because it seems that the ghosts of those who had to live that infernal march are still walking around.
In the picture above taken by the Major, you can clearly see what appears to be skeletal figures of people walking in a scene that must be very similar to that which happened in the March of death from Sandakan. Were these the spirits of the dead soldiers, still trapped in the nightmare that led to their death?
Sonny Bono
Bono died on January 5, 1998 of injuries sustained when he hit a tree while skiing on the Nevada side of Heavenly Ski Resort near South Lake Tahoe, California. His death came just a little less than a week after Michael Kennedy, a son of Robert F. Kennedy, died in a similar skiing accident in Aspen, Colorado.
After Bono's death, Mary told an interviewer from TV Guide that Sonny had been addicted to and was seriously abusing prescription drugs, mainly Vicodin and Valium. Though Mary claimed that Sonny's drug use caused the accident, the autopsy performed by the Douglas County Coroner showed no indication of any substances or alcohol.
Natalie Wood
The Rebel Without A Cause actress died in 1981 at 43, after falling overboard on a boat sailing near California's Catalina Island.
According to the autopsy report, Wood had dozens of bruises on her body,
including injuries to her face and arms. The autopsy found that her blood alcohol level
was .14, and an examining doctor stated that it was higher when she
went overboard. They also found two drugs in her bloodstream: Cyclivine,
a sea-sickness pill, and Darvon, a painkiller, which they believed caused a "much more drunken state" when combined with alcohol.
Officials ruled her death an accidental drowning, adding Wood had drank as many as eight glasses of wine, and was intoxicated when she died.
Detail: The West Side Story actress had
developed a deep-rooted fear of water ever since her mother warned her
as a child that she would meet her death by drowning in 'dark water'.
Marvin Gaye
The singer was fatally shot by his father, Marvin Gay, Sr. in the West Adams
district of Los Angeles at their house on Gramercy Place (Marvin was living in his parents house at the time because he was depressed and suicidal). Gaye was shot
twice after an altercation he had with his father after intervening in
an argument between his parents over misplaced business documents. Gaye's wounds proved to be fatal and he was pronounced dead on arrival at the California Hospital Medical Center.
Gaye's father had reportedly been beaten by the singer prior to the
shooting, and received five years of probation after pleading guilty to
manslaughter charges.
Gaye's death produced several musical tributes over the years including recollections of the incidents leading to his death.
Michael Jackson
While preparing for his concert series titled This Is It, Jackson died at the age of 50 of acute propofol and benzodiazepine intoxication on June 25, 2009, after suffering from cardiac arrest. The Los Angeles County Coroner ruled his death a homicide and his personal physician was convicted of involuntary manslaughter.
The day after Michael Jackson passed away, Lisa Marie Presley took to her blog on MySpace and posted about a conversation they had years ago where Michael Jackson stated that he was afraid he was going to end up like her father Elvis Presley.
Jackson's death triggered a global outpouring of grief, and as many as
one billion people around the world reportedly watched his public memorial service on live television.
Lisa “Left Eye” Lopez
The TLC beauty, known for hits such as Waterfalls and No Scrubs, died of head and neck injuries at 30 in 2002, following a single-car accident in La Ceiba, Honduras.
A documentary on the final twenty-six days of Lopes's life, titled The Last Days of Left Eye premiered at the Atlanta Film Festival in April 2007. The film captured a car accident in which Lopes was a passenger and
her assistant was the driver.
Ten-year-old Bayron Isaul Fuentes Lopez walked into the path of the
van driven by Lopes' personal assistant. The child had been trailing
after his sisters and brothers and stepped off the median strip at the
last minute.
The boy was hit. Lopes' party stopped and found the boy critically
injured. They loaded him into the car, and Lisa cradled the dying boy's
bleeding head in her arms. Someone gave him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation
as they rushed him to a nearby hospital. The boy died the next day and
Lopes paid for his medical expenses and funeral.
Earlier in the documentary, Lopes mentioned that she felt the presence
of a "spirit" following her, and was struck by the fact that the child
killed in the accident shared her last name, even thinking that the
spirit may have made a mistake by taking his life instead of hers. The program also showed the last minutes of Lopes's life, including her swerving off the road.
Brandon Lee
The son of karate icon Bruce Lee died at 28 in 1993 in Wilmington, North Carolina after he was accidentally shot on the set of his film "The Crow" by a gun with malfunction.
One of the scenes shot for the film required that a gun was loaded, cocked and pointed at the camera but because of the short distance of the shot, live ammunition was real but with no gunpowder. After completion of this scene, the assistant wiped the gun dealer to remove the capsules, knocking one of the bullets in the barrel. The gun was loaded with blanks (which usually has two or three times more powder than a normal bullet to make a loud noise). Lee entered the set with a grocery bag containing an explosive bag of artificial blood. The bullet that was stuck in the barrel was accidentally shot at Lee passed through the bag he carried, causing holes in his internal organs and breaking his spine, causing his death by internal bleeding, even with the desperate attempt of a six-hour surgery to remove the bullet. There were rumors that the negatives with the filming of his death would have been destroyed without ever being revealed.
To this day, many questions exist regarding the circumstances of Lee's death.
David Carradine
The veteran star of classics like Kung Fu and Kill Bill died in 2009 when he was in Bangkok to shoot his latest film, Stretch. A police official said Carradine was found hanging by a rope naked in the room's closet, causing immediate speculation that his death was suicide. However,
reported evidence suggested that his death was the result of autoerotic asphyxiation. Two autopsies were conducted and concluded that the death was not caused by suicide. The cause of death became widely accepted as "accidental asphyxiation".
Immediately following his death, two of his former wives, Gail Jensen and Marina Anderson, stated publicly that his sexual interests included the practice of self-bondage. Anderson, who had plans to publish a tell-all book about her marriage to Carradine, said in an interview with Access Hollywood,
"There was a dark side to David, there was a very intense side to
David. People around him know that." Previously in her divorce filing
she had claimed that "It was the continuation of abhorrent and deviant
sexual behavior which was potentially deadly."
4. Jon Venables And Robert Thompson
Jon Venables and Robert Thompson (both 10 years old) had been stealing things all day at the shopping center - candy, a troll doll, some batteries, a can of blue paint, and other incidentals.
They boys approached James Bulger who had been wandering by the open door of the shop while his mother placed an orderand spoke to him, before taking him by the hand and leading him out of the precinct. This moment was captured on a CCTV camera recording timestamped at 15:42.
The boys took Bulger on a meandering 2.5-mile (4.0 km) walk across Liverpool to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal where he was dropped on his head and suffered injuries to his face. The boys joked about pushing Bulger into the canal. During the walk across Liverpool, the boys were seen by 38 people.
Bulger had a bump on his forehead and was crying, but most bystanders
did nothing to intervene, assuming that he was a younger brother.
Two people challenged the older boys, but they claimed that Bulger was a
younger brother or that he was lost and they were taking him to the
local police station. At one point, the boys took Bulger into a pet shop, from which they were ejected.
Eventually the boys arrived in the village of Walton, and with Walton
Lane police station across the road facing them, they hesitated and led
Bulger up a steep bank to a railway line near the disused Walton & Anfield railway station, close to Anfield Cemetery, where they began torturing him.
The video cameras at the mall caught several images of James Bulger in the hands of his killers, frozen in time. He was to be taken on a long, aimless walk, cruelly tortured along the way. James was senselessly abducted, tortured and beaten to death by his ten-year-old captors, who callously abandoned him on the railroad tracks.
Before they left him, the boys laid Bulger across the railway tracks and
weighted his head down with rubble, in the hope that a train would hit
him and make his death appear to be an accident.
The case's pathologist, stated that Bulger suffered so many injuries - 42 in total - that none could be isolated as the fatal blow.
3. Jesse Pomeroy
Jesse Harding Pomeroy was the youngest person convicted of the crime of murder in the first degree in the history of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Jesse Pomeroy was 14 when he was arrested in 1874 for the horrific murder of a four-year-old boy. He was quickly labeled “The Boston Boy Fiend.”
His horrible trek had begun three years earlier with the sexual torture of seven other boys. For those crimes, Pomeroy was sentenced to a children’s reform school but was released early. Not long after, he mutilated and killed a 10-year-old girl who came into his mother’s store. A month later, he kidnapped 4-year-old Horace Mullen, took him to a swamp outside town and slashed him so savagely with a knife that he nearly decapitated him. Because of his strange appearance (he had a milky white eye) and his previous abhorrent behavior, he was under suspicion. When he was shown the body and asked if he’d done it, he responded with a nonchalant, “I suppose I did.” Then the girl was found buried in his mother’s cellar and he confessed to that murder, as well.
He was convicted and sentenced to death. Following a public outcry against condemning children to death, his sentence was commuted to forty years of solitary confinement.
2. Mary Bell
Mary Bell was convicted of strangling a young boy, Martin Brown, on May 25, 1968, the day before her 11th birthday. She was, as far as anyone knows, alone on this occasion. On July 31, 1968, Mary and her friend (Norma Bell - no relation to Mary) took part in the death, again by strangulation, of three-year-old Brian Howe. Police reports concluded that Mary Bell had gone back after killing him to carve an “N” into his stomach with a razor, this was then changed using the same razor but with a different hand to an “M”. Mary Bell also used a pair of scissors to cut off bits of Brian Howe’s hair and part of his genitals. As the girls were so young and their testimonies contradicted each other, it has never been entirely clear precisely what happened.
Martin Brown’s death was initially ruled an accident as there was no evidence of foul play. Eventually, his death was linked with Brian Howe’s killing and in August, the two girls were charged with two counts of manslaughter. Mary was released in 1980 with court ordered anonymity. In 2003, the courts awarded her and her daughter anonymity for life.
1. Eric Harris And Dylan Klebold
The rise of school shootings has been staggering over the past 15 years and they still leave many people ultimately wondering why? Most of the kids involved had been ridiculed one way or another by not only school mates, but also family members at home. These murderous children acquired large caliber weapons in most cases; though in others, knives, hand guns, or the like were brought in to their schools and use just as effectively. Teachers, faculty, and students loose their lives each and every time this happens.
On Tuesday, April 20, 1999, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, embarked on a massacre, killing 12 students and 1 teacher. They also injured 21 other students directly, and three people were injured while attempting to escape. The pair then committed suicide. It is the fourth-deadliest school massacre in United States history, after the 1927 Bath School disaster, 2007 Virginia Tech massacre, and the 1966 University of Texas massacre, and the deadliest for an American high school.
In the aftermath, a great deal of debate occurred about the killers'
motivation and whether anything could have prevented the crime. Unlike
some other school shootings, the fact that both shooters committed
suicide made this one particularly difficult to assess. Answers were
slow in coming. There were no arrests or trial through which the victims
could vent their outrage.
This list is nothing but the tip of the ever-increasing iceberg...
Children are supposed to be innocent and pure; without malice, contempt,
sinister anger or desires to kill, yet every year many commit horrific
crimes.
Here is a list with Ten of the Most Evil Children in History. The age limit for this list is 17 years old.
10. Brian And David Freeman
The Freeman boys had always been a handful, drinking beer from the age
of six, taking drugs and even becoming racist skinheads. Everyone in the community knew they were troubled, but no one
expected them to kill their whole family in cold blood.
Bryan Freeman, 17 and David, 16, who had shaved and tattooed their heads as a symbol of their neo-Nazi beliefs, were immediate suspects when their parents and younger brother were found bludgeoned to death in their Salisbury Township, PA, home. The boys had been terrorizing the family and as a whole, the town. As the police told it, the triple murder uncovered in Salisbury Township, Pa., that week was every parent’s nightmare - the ghastly culmination of a long-running battle of wills between the parents Brenda and Dennis Freeman and their loutish, hulking sons Bryan and David.
9. Edmund Kemper
Also known as "The Co-ed Killer", he is an American serial killer and a necrophile who was active in California in the early 1970s.
In 1964, when Edmund Kemper was 15, he shot his grandparents, killing them both. He had been planning his repulsive act for some time and had no regrets later. The California Youth Authority detained him in Juvenile Hall so that they could put him through rigorous series of tests administered by a psychiatrist. Because the results suggested that he was a paranoid psychotic, he was sent to Atascadero State Hospital for treatment. There he learned what others thought about his crime and worked hard to make his doctors believe that he had recovered.
Although he was considered a sociopath, he worked in the psychology lab to help administer the tests to others. In the process, he learned a lot about other deviant offenders. Kemper was released after another five years and remained under the supervision of the Youth Authority. His doctors recommended that he not be returned to his mother’s care, but the Youth Authority ignored this. After Kemper murdered and dismembered eight women over the next five years, these same doctors affirmed his insanity defense. In fact, even as he was carrying parts of his victims around, a panel of psychiatrists judged him to be no threat to society.
8. Joshua Phillips
In 1998, 14-year-old Joshua Phillips bludgeoned his 8-year-old neighbor to death and hid her body beneath his bed. Seven days later, his mother noticed something leaking from beneath the bed. Joshua claimed that’s he’d accidentally hit Maddie in the eye with his baseball bat causing her to scream. In his panic he dragged her to his home where he hit her again and then stabbed her eleven times.
His story failed to convince a Florida jury, who convicted of the first degree murder, and sentenced to life in prison without chance of parole.
His mother is still appealing his conviction based upon the fact that he was given an adult penalty for his crime and at age 26, Joshua Phillip is still in prison serving his life sentence.
7. Willie Bosket
Willie Bosket, born on December 9, 1962, is a convicted murderer, whose crimes, committed while he was still a minor, led to a change in New York state law, so that juveniles as young as thirteen could be tried in adult court for murder and would face the same penalties.
On March 19, 1978, Willie Bosket, then fifteen years old, shot dead Noel Perez on the New York subway, during an attempt to steal some money and a watch. Eight days later, Bosket shot another man, Moises Perez (no relation to his first victim) in another botched robbery attempt. Bosket was tried and convicted of the murders in the New York City Family court, where he was sentenced to five years in prison (the maximum for a minor).
The short length of Bosket’s sentence caused a public outcry, and led the New York State Legislature to pass the Juvenile Offender Act of 1978. Under this act, children as young as thirteen years old could be tried in an adult court for crimes such as murder, rape, arson, assault and burglary, and receive the same penalties as adults. New York was the first state to enact a law of this nature; many other legislatures have since followed suit.
Bosket was eventually released from prison, but has subsequently been convicted of a number of other felonies, for which he has received a number of life sentences. He is currently in the New York prison system, in solitary confinement.
6. Laurie Tackett
On the morning of Saturday, January 11, 1992, Indiana resident Donn Foley and his brother Ralph decided to do some quail hunting in a nearby Jefferson County forest. Just one mile into their trip, as Donn turned onto Lemon Road, Ralph spotted a strange object just a few feet from the road in a barren soybean field. At once it appeared to them that it might be a body, but the form was so badly burned and scarred that it looked to them to be a doll. Upon closer investigation, it became painfully obvious that it was not a doll.
Upon investigation, it turned out to be the body of Shanda Sharer who would later be found the victim of a jealous lesbian love triangle. Her body, prior to the murder, had been slashed and stabbed with death eventually resulting from torching. Laurie Tackett was ultimately implicated along with Toni Lawrence and Hope Rippey.
Mary Laurine (Laurie) Tackett was born on October 5, 1974 in Madison, Indiana. Her mother was a fundamentalist Pentecostal Christian and her father was a factory worker with two felony convictions and prison stints in the 1960s. Tackett claimed she was molested at least twice as a child, at ages five and twelve.
5. Brenda Anne Spencer
On Monday, January 29, 1979, 16-year-old Brenda Ann Spencer put herself by a window in her home and began
randomly shooting at Grover Cleveland Elementary School across the
street. She opened fire as children were waiting outside for principal
Burton Wragg to open the gate.
The shooting claimed the lives of Wragg and Mike Suchar, and injured
eight students and a police officer. Wragg was killed while trying to
help the children, and Suchar was killed while trying to pull Wragg to
safety.
The school was across the street from her house. She used the rifle she had recently been given for Christmas by her father. When the six-hour incident ended and the pretty teenager was asked why she had committed the crime, she shrugged and replied, “I don’t like Mondays. This livens up the day.” She also said: “I had no reason for it, and it was just a lot of fun.” “It was just like shooting ducks in a pond.” and “(The children) looked like a herd of cows standing around; it was really easy pickings.”
Her lack of remorse and inability to provide a serious explanation for her actions when captured inspired the song “I Don’t Like Mondays” by The Boomtown Rats, written by socialist musician Bob Geldof. Her quote “I don’t like Mondays” also appears written on a wall in the movie, The Breakfast Club.
Singer Amy Winehouse (14/9/1983 - 23/7/2011) is the newest member of the so-called Club 27, also known as Forever 27 Club.
The members? Great rock idols who died at age 27 having inn common, talent to spare and abuse of drugs and alcohol.
The coincidence (or not?) inspired Eric Segalstad and Josh Hunter to write a book: "The 27's - The Greatest Myth of Rock & Roll", released by the publisher Samadhi Creations.
In 2008, the exhibition "Forever 27" gathered in London, photos of musicians who died at... 27 of course.
See below a summary of some of those who have left the world of music at the early age of 27:
1. Janis Joplin (19/1/1943 - 4/10/1970)
Known for her husky and singular voice, the American singer Janis Joplin recorded wonders like the albums Cheap Thrills (1968) and Pearl (1971).
The artist, who was in Brazil in 1970 with her tour was the victim of a heroin overdose when she was at the end of the recording sessions for Pearl.
2. Jim Morrison (8/12/1943 - 3/7/1971)
One of the great poets of rock and totally unpredictable: He was able to present a wonderful or horrible show, depending on his mood.
The Doors (1967), Strange Days (1967) and LA Woman (1971) are some of his best albums with the Doors.
He was considered the greatest sex symbol of the rock in the 60, which irritated him. His body was found in a hotel in Paris, France. The cause of his death is uncertain.
3. Jimi Hendrix (27/11/1942 - 18/9/1970)
He is still considered the greatest guitarist in rock history, recorded spectacular albums as Axis Bold As Love (1967) and Electric Ladyland (1968).
He died suffocated on his own vomit after a mixture of sleeping pills and alcohol.
4. Brian Jones (28/2/1942 - 3/7/1969)
This guitarist created and named a legendary band, "The Rolling Stones". The great musician ended up dipping into drugs and being fired from his own group by Mick Jagger.
He was found dead in his swimming pool, drowned, just one day after being fired. Even today some believe he was murdered.
Jones was the first rock musician to die at the age of 27.
5. Kurt Cobain (20/2/1967 - 5/4/1994)
The greatest myth of rock in the 90s. Singer, songwriter, guitarist and leader of the American group Nirvana, who released the brilliant Nevermind (1991) and In Utero (1993).
He did not know how to handle success, and his end was tragic: he committed suicide with a shotgun wound to the head.
He did shows full of ups and downs with Nirvana in Brazil in January 1993, and reached a recording studio in Rio de Janeiro.
6. Richey James Edwards (22/12/1967 - 14/2/1995)
He was the lyricist and rhythm guitarist of the Manic Street Preachers, one of the leading British bands of the 90s.
One day before the band travel to the United States, he simply disappeared.
Until now his whereabouts are unknown.
7. Robert Johnson (8/5/1911 - 16/8/1938)
This singer, songwriter and guitarist is considered the most influential blues man of his time.
Legend has it that he had sold his soul to the devil at a crossroad to become an excellent guitarist, singer and composer and he died so early just because of this.
Officially, he was the victim of poisoning and pneumonia.
8. Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson (4/7/1943 - 3/9/1970)
The Canned Heat was one of the leading American blues bands of the 60s, and Alan was their guitarist. He knew every great work of the genre.
Future Blues (1968), best album of the group, played a major part by Alan.
He was found dead by his bandmates, overdosed on pills with gin.
9. Kristen Pfaff (26/5/1967 - 16/6/1994)
Kristen Pfaff played bass with Hole, the band led by Courtney Love, the wife of Kurt Cobain. She joined the group and participated in their best-selling album, Life Through This (1994).
