Was Tommy Bolin buried wearing the ring that Jimi Hendrix wore the day he died?

The news came over the radio as I walked down a rainy Manchester street. Since the Purple tour almost nothing of his career had been reported here, it felt to me as if he’d died on that stage in Liverpool back in March. Over in Japan Ritchie dedicated “Mistreated” to his memory.
Six days later Tommy Bolin was buried back in Sioux City. His old girlfriend flew over from England to place on his finger a ring she’d been saving for him, a present from a roadie. It had been on Jimi Hendrix’s hand the day he died.

It looks to be a mistery if it's true or not.
