PORTLAND — Authorities say Mitch Mitchell, drummer for the legendary Jimi Hendrix Experience of the 1960s, has been found dead in his Portland hotel room. Erin Patrick, a deputy medical examiner in Multnomah County, says Mitchell was found dead a little after 3 a.m. today in his room at the Benson Hotel in downtown Portland. She says Mitchell apparently died of natural causes at 62. An autopsy is planned.

Almost everybody else of any note that played in either the Experience or Band Of Gypsies is gone now. Billy's the last one.
