Who murdered Freddie Mercury?

Asked by Wiki User

The medical establishment that filled him with toxic drugs to 'fight' his condition. Or it was a big pharmaceutical company when they created the HIV virus in a laboratory and with the help of governments 'allowed' it to escape. Either way, he was murdered.

The above answer is ridiculous. Freddie contracted HIV from having unprotected sex. No one knows who he got it from. I'm sure the person who gave him the virus did so unknowingly, as the HIV virus was not known at the time.

Asked by Wiki User

Freddie mercury did not officially have a grave. He was cremated and the whereabouts of his ashes remains a mystery. It has been said that they are buried under the cherry tree in his garden, at garden lodge. It has also been said that they were scattered at Lake Geneva, a place where Freddie had an apartment, and a place where he found great peace. There has been rumours that there is a parsee burial ground in London, where his ashes were buried in an unmarked grave there. (It too 1 whole year for his ashes to be picked up from the undertakers .. Quite sad) His whereabouts have to remain unknown as there are some strange people out there who would try and dig him up, when all he deserves is to be left to rest in peace.

Asked by Wiki User

It is an excess of $300 million as of today. In a documentary when he died in 1991 his networth was $85 million dollars. He gave hefty amount of money to AIDS charities before he died, so they could find a cure. The rest of his money went to his sister, parents and a little to his grlfriend, the rest went to his lover, chef and bodyguard.ACTUALLY, FREDDIE DONATED VERY LITTLE TO AIDS RESEARCH CONTRARY TO WHAT WAS SPECULATED AFTER HIS DEATH!!! i REMEMBER READING THAT AND JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO, i READ THAT FREDDIE WAS NOT HAPPY FOR THE FACT THAT HE HAD AIDS AND THAT LITTLE COULD BE DONE TO SAVE HIS LIFE!!! i AM SURE HE GAVE MUCH TO mARY AUSTIN, THE TRUE LOVE OF HIS LIFE AND PROBABLY HIS MUM AND DAD!!!
