13 Bon Scott - How he died (AC/DC)

[Info take from Hell Ain't No Bad Place To Be by Richard Bunton &
Shock To The System by Mark
Putterford]

Bon Scott died in February of 1980 in London, England. He choked to
death on his own vomit while sleeping in a friend's car. He and the
friend, a musician named Alisdair Kinnear, had been drinking the
evening of the 19th and Bon apparently fell asleep during the ride
home. Kinnear could not wake Bon, so he left him in the car to
sleep. Kinnear awoke early in the evening on the 20th, checked on
Bon, and found him unconscious in the car. Bon could not be
revived, and was pronounced dead.
There is another version of this story, examined by Mark Putterford
in his Shock To The System book. Putterford's angle questions
whether Kinnear was really Bon's companion, and suggests heroin may
have been involved in Bon's death.
