So, looks like Jim Morrison did not die of a heart attack while playing with himself in the bath. Rather, according to a new book written by someone there on the night, he OD’ed snorting heroin.
Officially, Morrison is said to have died of heart failure in his bath at the age of 27.
But 36 years later, a former manager of a Paris nightclub is telling a
different story. Sam Bernett claims he found Morrison’s body in a
lavatory cubicle at the venue after what he believes was a heroin
overdose.
He says in his book The End: Jim Morrison: "The
flamboyant singer of The Doors, the beautiful California boy, had
become an inert lump crumpled in the toilet of a nightclub."
He believes two drug dealers took Morrison’s body back to his flat.
Difficult to know which of the two versions is less grubby really.
