Legendary bluesman B.B. King passed away this month due to complications from diabetes, but the Associated Press has just obtained sworn affidavits filed by two of his daughters that suggest foul play. King's daughters Karen Williams and Patty King insist that the guitarist's family was kept away from him in is final days by his longtime business manager and personal assistant, who've been accused of having a hand in his passing. "I believe my father was poisoned and that he was administered foreign substances," King and Williams' statements read. "I believe my father was murdered."

King's manager LaVerne Toney was named executor of his estate in his will and suspects this is a money matter. "They've been making allegations all along, Toney told the AP. "What's new?" Local detectives are taking the allegations very seriously, but doctors on hand at the Las Vegas home where King lived out his final days say he passed peacefully in his sleep after days of round-the-clock care.
