‘No evidence’ that BB King was murdered, say medics

Medical experts found no evidence that blues singer BB King was poisoned before he died, autopsy results have revealed.

Tests conducted after two of the star’s 11 adult children said their father had been murdered showed the cause of death was Alzheimer’s disease, plus physical conditions including coronary disease, heart failure and the effects of type 2 diabetes, Clark County coroner John Fudenberg said.

Daughters Karen Williams and Patty King had said through their lawyer, Larissa Drohobyczer, that King’s business manager LaVerne Toney and his personal assistant Myron Johnson hastened their 89-year-old father’s death.
