Blues Singer Janis Joplin Found Dead in Hollywood
Hollywood police report the 27 year old blues rock star Janis Joplin was found dead in her hotel room with fresh needle marks on her arms.

She lived in Larkspur near San Francisco and had been in Hollywood since Aug 24 recording for Columbia with the Full Tilt Boogie group. The hotel manager last saw her about 1 a.m. and an ambulance attendant said it did not appear foul play. Joplin rose to fame after the 1967 Monterey Festival with Big Brother and the Holding Company.
