How did Eva Sundquist and Jimi Hendrix meet?

Jimi Hendrix and Eva met on a tram when “The Experience” was playing in Stockholm in 1968. They met while riding a local tram and this was the beginning of their relationship. Jimi and Eva stayed in contact even after the end of his tour and he departed.

When the band returned to Stockholm in January 1969, they again connected and Eva claimed that the result was the birth of James Daniel on the 5th of October, nine months after his mother, Eva, hooked up with Hendrix in Stockholm, Sweden, and “had two complete intercourses,” as the Swedish judges put it. While a Swedish court later proclaimed that James Daniel was the son of Jimi, there was never a paternity test.

According to sources, Eva informed Jimi about his son’s pregnancy and birth. Jimi stated that he would meet his son upon his return to Stockholm in 1970. Despite promising to return to Sweden to meet his son, Jimi never got to meet him before his death. Though James Daniel never met his father, he did have the opportunity to meet his grandfather, James Allen Hendrix.

Following the death of Eva Sundquist’s partner, Jimi, in 1970, his father, James Allen Hendrix aka Al, inherited his son’s fortune and excluded other family members from it. Al was unconcerned about his son having a child, even if it was out of wedlock.

Armed with a paternity judgment upheld by Swedish courts, Eva Sundquist’s son, Hendrix Jr. sought to inherit his father’s dispersed and bitterly contested estate, estimated to be worth at least $30 million, if not more than twice that. As a result, James Daniel eventually filed a lawsuit against his grandfather for failing to include him in his father’s will.

He filed a case in Los Angeles Superior Court, claiming that he is the true heir to his father’s fortune rather than his grandfather. This battle dragged on for a long time because, while the court accepted James Daniel as Jimi’s son, no paternity tests were performed to confirm this. The story is from the May 19th, 1994 issue of Rolling Stone.

Eva Sundquist’s Partner, Jimi Hendrix’s Death

Details are disputed concerning Hendrix’s last day and death. On the day of his death, Jimi was with his last girlfriend, German champion skater Monika Danneman in London who was the only witness to his final hours. According to Monika, she had cooked a supper for him that they enjoyed at her apartment in the Samarkand Hotel around 11 p.m. before driving him to a friend’s house at approximately 1:45 a.m. where he remained for about an hour before she picked him up and drove them back to her flat at 3 a.m. She said that they talked until around 7 a.m. when they went to sleep.

On the morning of September 18, 1970, Dannemann awoke around 11 a.m. and found Hendrix breathing but unconscious and unresponsive. She called for an ambulance at 11:18 a.m., and it arrived nine minutes later. Paramedics transported Hendrix to St Mary Abbot’s Hospital where Dr. John Bannister pronounced him dead at 12:45 p.m. on September 18.

Jimi, according to Dannemann, may have taken up to 9 tablets of Vesparax sleeping pills, which she gave him because he had been unable to sleep for days. However, the police and Jimi’s ex-girlfriend, Kathy, who spent three years studying and thoroughly researching the case, maintained there were numerous contradictions in Monika’s accounts. According to the autopsy report, Eva Sundquist’s partner died from aspirating his own vomit and died of asphyxia while intoxicated with barbiturates.
