November 13, 2008
Jimi Hendrix Experience Drummer Mitch Mitchell Found DeadMitch Mitchell, drummer for the Jimi Hendrix Experience, has been found dead at 62 in his hotel room in Portland, Oregan.

The legendary musician had apparently died of natural causes says Erin Patrick, a deputy medical examiner. He was found on Wednesday (November 12) at 3 A.M. in downtown Portland at the Benson Hotel.

Mitchell was performing at a stop on the ‘Experience Hendrix Tour’ Friday night, the last show on the West Coast portion of the tour according to the Associated Press.

Mitchell was the last surviving member of the Jimi Hendrix Experience with bassist Noel Redding passing in 2003 and Jimi Hendrix in 1970.
