Morrison's death at the age of 27 in Paris, France stunned his fans; the circumstances of his death and secret burial have been the subject of endless rumors and play a significant part in the mystique that continues to surround him.
He died on July 3, 1971, at age 27, and was found in his bathtub.
The official report listed the cause of death as heart failure. No autopsy was performed because the medical examiner, pursuant to French law, found no evidence of foul play. The lack of an official autopsy left many questions unanswered and provided a fertile breeding ground for speculation and rumor.

When it comes right down to it, the ones that know aren't changing the official cause of death, heart failure. But I found this a long time ago and copied it - I did not write it:
He died on July 3, 1971, at age 27, and was found in his bathtub by Courson. According to Stephen Davis' biography of Morrison, it was reported that he had dried blood around his mouth and nose and large bruising on his chest. This suggests Morrison might have died from a massive hemorrhage caused by tuberculosis. Many fans and biographers have speculated that the cause of death was a drug overdose, but the official report listed the cause of death as heart failure. No autopsy was performed because the medical examiner, pursuant to French law, found no evidence of foul play. The lack of an official autopsy left many questions unanswered and provided a fertile breeding ground for speculation and rumor.

They don't it's still a mystery. He died July 3, 1971. Morrison's death at the age of 27 in Paris, France stunned his fans; the circumstances of his death and secret burial have been the subject of endless rumors and play a significant part in the mystique that continues to surround him.
He was in the group the Doors. A lot of younger people don't remember him. But they might recognize some of his music.

On 3 July 1971 Morrison was found death in his bathtub. He had regurgitated a small amount of blood on the night of July 2, but claimed he felt fine. Recently had consulted a local doctor concerning a respitory problem.

Cocaine used over a long period of time will cause damage to the heart. This will eventually lead to a heart attack. Jim's drug use, fear of bathing, and angering the Almighty caused his death. The demons finally caught up to him.

Drugs, alcohol, reading Nietzsche--lethal combination.

He supposedly died of a drug overdose, but some wonder if he's actually dead. Why would someone who died of a drug overdose have a closed casket??
