The death of B.B. King, one of the most iconic musicians of his time, has unearthed numerous issues which now include the possibility of a homicide. In a statement released to the Associated Press (via ABC News), the daughters of the late blues singer and Hall of Famer cried foul play and cited that their father was slowly and methodically poisoned to hasten his demise. He was 89.

"I believe my father was poisoned," wrote King's daughters in separate statements which pointed out allegations that closely resemble one another. They continued, "He was administrated foreign substances to induce his premature death." The affidavits were submitted by Karen Williams and Patty King, the great singer's daughters, in relation to their allegations that Laverne Toney, King's business manager and personal assistant, poisoned their father.

King's daughters then set off to urge the Nevada police to launch a homicide investigation on the strength of their accusations. "(I) request a formal investigation into this matter," both Karen and Patty wrote in their affidavits. Toney is the designated executor of King's estate.

Meanwhile, three doctors said that King had received suitable medical care throughout his illness. Chicago Tribune reported that the blues star was given 24-hour care and monitoring from medical experts "up until the time that he peacefully passed away in his sleep." These sentiments were reiterated by Brent Bryson, Toney's lawyer. "I hope they have a factual basis that they can demonstrate for their defamatory and libelous allegations," said Bryson, who went on to describe the accusations as "ridiculous."

"They've been making allegations. What's new?" responded Toney, who decided to simply shrug off the accusations and endeavor to fulfill the will of his departed boss.

Earlier this year, Toney and the rest of King's children were also embroiled in another argument. It appears that when the blues singer fell ill, Toney refused to allow visitors to be with King. In an effort to see their father before he passes away, the King children then decided to contest the Power of Attorney of Toney but their case was dismissed.

"We love him, and the reason he hasn't seen us is because we're being kept away," Rita King, one of the singer's daughters, disclosed to 8 News NOW. "He's dying and why shouldn't family be allowed to be with him," added Karen Williams, King's daughter.

The legendary singer passed away on May 14 in Las Vegas, where he established his home in an effort to keep up with the hectic schedule involving various shows lined up for him.
