If you tool around the web a little, searching for "Thorogood death
Brian Jones," you'll find lots of mentions of a supposed deathbed
confession on the part of Frank Thorogood, somebody who was working on
Brian's house at the time of his death.

The Wikipedia says: "However, Anna Wohlin claimed in 2000 that he had
been murdered by a builder who had been staying with them renovating
the house the couple shared. The builder, Frank Thorogood, allegedly
confessed to the murder on his deathbed to the Rolling Stones' driver,
Tom Keylock: however it should be noted that there were no other
witnesses to this confession. In her book ("The Murder Of Brian
Jones") she alleges that Frank Thorogood behaved suspiciously and
showed little sympathy when Jones was discovered in the pool (he was
also the last one to see Brian alive): however she also admits that
she was not actually physically present at the time of Jones' death.
Witnesses have been interviewed by various journalists who claim to
have seen the 'murder': however, these witnesses almost always use
pseudonyms, and none of them have been prepared to go on record or
report what they claim to have seen to the police."

So, it's a little iffy, but there may be something there.

There's also a nice quote from George Harrison in that same Wikipedia article:

"When asked by a newspaper reporter his reaction to Jones' death,
George Harrison responded, "When I met him I liked him quite a lot. He
was a good fellow you know. I got to know him very well, I think, and
I felt very close to him: you know how it is with some people, you
feel for them, feel near to them. He was born on 28 February 1942, and
I was born on 25 February 1943, and he was with Mick and Keith, and I
was with John and Paul in the groups, so there was a sort of
understanding between the two of us. The positions were similar, and I
often seemed to meet him in his times of trouble. There was nothing
the matter with him that a little extra love wouldn't have cured. I
don't think he had enough love or understanding. He was very nice and
sincere and sensitive, and we must remember that's what he was.""
