May 13 1988 Chet Baker jazz trumpeter, falls to death out of a hotel window at 59.
"At about 3:00 am on May 13, 1988, Baker was found dead on Prins Hendrikkade, near Zeedijk, on the street below his second-story room at the Prins Hendrik Hotel in Amsterdam, Netherlands, with serious wounds to his head. Heroin and cocaine were found in his hotel room, and an autopsy also found these drugs in his body. There was no evidence of a struggle, and the death was ruled an accident."
Happens to the best of us.
Charley would call me a cab sometimes, have the driver meet me in front of Prins Hendrik Hotel. It's right across from Central [train] Station. Too busy to find Charley's taxi at Central.
