Albert - no problem at all. The film is new, but I merged the threads because information on Brian Jones' death is relatively scarce.

What is more than obvious is the basic police detective work that could have exposed this back in 1969 was never done. I think the politics that motivated that non-investigation is what sticks-out the most here.
The "deal with the devil" stuff is just classic psy-ops trying to denigrate their victims and make them look like they brought it on themselves.
As per my post #2 in this thread, I'm strongly of the view that Jones' death has to be viewed in the context of Nic Roeg's Borgesian sex-death-drugs labyrinth peddled as Performance and of Altamont.
From the little we know, Thorogood, Jones' gangster minder-cum-shadow, was a version of the James Fox character in Performance
