Johnny Thunders was a punk rock icon — raw, fearless, and unapologetically real. But his death in Room 37 of a New Orleans hotel in 1991 remains one of music’s most disturbing unsolved mysteries.

In this episode of Spotlight Murders by Skoob, we take a deep dive into the final hours of Johnny Thunders, founding member of the New York Dolls and leader of The Heartbreakers. Was his death the result of a drug overdose, a failing body ravaged by illness, or something far more sinister?

We examine the autopsy results, missing belongings, conflicting toxicology reports, and the chilling murder theories that refuse to disappear. From allegations of robbery and forced drugs to claims of police negligence and cover-ups, this case raises haunting questions that were never fully answered.

This is not just the story of a rock star’s death — it’s a deep investigation into how legends fall, how truths get buried, and why some cases are never truly closed.

🎧 Tune in for a gripping true crime deep dive where music history meets unanswered questions.
