If he was due to receive a substantial payout (as opposed to simply sharing in ongoing financial participation), it wouldn't end with his death - it would go to his heirs. Murdering him would not prevent anything. Now if one could prove something such as a manager or agent being his beneficiary, then you'd have a murder mystery worth pursuing. Since such info has never surfaced, I suspect his family received his royalty payments going forward.
I suppose the only wriggle room would have been if Brian was playing hardball suggesting he deserved more and making noise about suing all and sundry. If that was the case, why would he play nice with the press release over their split just a few weeks before? Not really likely from that perspective. Also, folks like Alexis Korner or Pete Townshend would likely have indicated that he said something of the sort to them. Most people going through an ugly split tell their friends about it. Someone would have said something.

As it will always be. It's a shame they keep making crappy 'documentaries', and 'dramas' about Brian. A good, professional, dispassionate documentary about Brian would be nice, but we've pretty much squeezed the grapes dry. Brian was talented. Brian was troubled. Brian was an a-hole. Brian got canned. Brian died. (Of which few questions remain, or matter). He's a cult figure. Not that major a figure as say, Buddy Holly.)

Not sure if this has been discussed, but a new radio documentary and interview with Anna Wohlin was done recently by Swedish National radio.
Indeed an interesting interview were she straight up says that Thorogood was responsible for his death (and she has always believed so). Unfortunately it is only in swedish, link below

I think you'll find both documentaries will end with the conclusion that Brian Jones is dead.

Where is that piece from, runaway?
"Brian, he's a cult figure". Can we define Brian as a cult figure? Cult is usually associated with a small but very active subculture of people who are fan.

Sounds just like Brian's fans. And I'm one of them. Few people know who he was. Few people appreciate him, or know of his accomplishments.
