It's hard to imagine why Brian Jones would be killed for COINTELPRO-like reasons. His drug problems had pretty much sidelined him and forced him out of the Rolling Stones. If government forces were trying to cause the destruction of their targets personally Jones was already well on down the road on his own.
It's pretty much established that Jones' personal minder and groundskeeper Frank Thorogood murdered Jones by submerging his head underwater in a fit of anger. Apparently Thorogood had been skimming on construction costs for renovations at Jones' Cotchford Farm estate. I read that Jones waited until Thorogood had put out 6,000 pounds for the next job and then told him to pay for it out of what he had already taken. That was the alleged source of the conflict that supposedly came from Thorogood's own mouth in a death bed confession to Rolling Stones manager Tom Keylock.
Some researchers have found evidence that there might be more to it than that. They found that Mick and Keith had visited Brian that day and that there was an argument. The former were trying to arrange a negotiated settlement for Brian's exit from the band. Mick has made some statements about Jones' death saying he got as good as he gave and that they were young at the time. Sounds like Mick is referring to something there. Also, witnesses saw Tom Keylock at the estate that afternoon and he later lied about it.
Though it may not apply in this case, one must always take the letter of the law in COINTELPRO's own self description that they intended to cause the deaths of their targets by creating conflicts between the people around them that would cause those people to kill the target, therefore creating plausible deniability. So there is the outside possibility that the problems with Thorogood were deliberately instigated with this intended result. And, there is also the possibility Mick and Keith would not be too upset that this major problem for the band had been solved.
There's no doubt the police made an effort to not investigate so one must try to figure out the reason. Anyone versed in Deep Politics, their method, and purpose would see there's much potential here. As usual, there's a group of people who are staying quiet now because they don't want to discuss why they stayed quiet at the time.
