The death of Buddy Holly: accident, murder, more?

Since someone mentioned Kurt Cobain's death, (and yes, I know I promised to fork over my own links about that, which I will hopefully later this week) I thought I'd ask about B.H. Yes, I know that many consider the question of whether or not he was murdered to be a ridiculous one at best, but to me, it is still worth asking, even if no conclusive answers can ever be found. Does anyone here have any thoughts about this? Just curious (maybe we should do Hendrix next)?

Bobby Fuller?"
Lou Reed songs contain all the answers :)
Bobby Fuller was certainly murdered. Probably by "friends" of his management.

6. That's the guy!

Yup, or he was dating some mobster's gf or something. Found dead in a car outside his mother's home.

5. A very young Gary Busey did it!

It was the only way that Busey knew that he could assay a role which would continue to give him some semblance of credibility...even after becoming a sad, lamentable trainwreck of a "celebrity"

8. Off-topic, but was Holly's plane REALLY named American Pie?

Or was that just a story that got started because of the Don McLean song.
