Was Blues Guitarist BB King Really Murdered?

The 2 daughters of blues guitar legend claim that their father was poisoned by his manager and are filing claims for murder. Karen Williams and Patty King said the musician was given “foreign substances to induce his premature death” by his business manager Laverne Toney.

Nevada’s Clark County Coroner said they would investigate the claims along with the LV Police Department’s homicide division. They issued a statement saying, “At this point, we don’t have evidence that these allegations of foul play will be substantiated, However, we are taking them very seriously and will be conducting a thorough investigation. We are co-ordinating our investigative efforts with the homicide division of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. I expect the investigation will take a minimum of six to eight weeks.Until such time as the Clark County Coroner determines Mr King’s death to be from other than natural causes, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is not moving forward with any investigation.”
