(November 12, 2008)--Mitch Mitchell, who was the drummer for the legendary Jimi Hendrix Experience of the 1960s, was found dead Wednesday in his Portland, Oregon hotel room.
Erin Patrick, a deputy medical examiner, said Mitchell was found dead a little after 3 a.m. Wednesday in his room at the Benson Hotel in downtown Portland.
She says Mitchell evidently died of natural causes at 62.
An autopsy is planned.
Mitchell was touring with the Experience Hendrix Tour, which performed Friday at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall in Portland.
It was the last stop on the West Coast leg of the tour.
Hendrix died in 1970.
Noel Redding, bassist for the trio, died in 2003.
