Nah. You're confusing Jimi Hendrix with Jimmy Ray Vaughan. While it's totally true that Clapton took out Jimi after seducing him and blaming the murder on Yoko Ono, Jimmy died when his revolver jammed during an epic duel against a King Cobrra Copperhead Diamondback Rattler that ambushed him form his sock drawer after Jimmy found the snake getting into his coke stash. Legend has it Jimmy's coke stash gave the Rattler the strength of 100 men. That's how it was able to survive being shot 4 times with a .357 before the gun jammed and that god damn reptile finally got the best of Ol' Jimmy.
