Jim Morrison 41 Years


July 3, 1971 was the day Jim Morrison died in Paris, 41 years ago. An apartment on the Right Bank of the Seine at 17–19 rue Beautreillis in the 4th arrondissement was where he was living with Pamela Courson at the time of his untimely death at the age of 27. There have been many varying stories about his death over the years. Pamela herself gave different accounts. It is basically assumed he died of a drug overdose. There have been stories over the years that Jim Morrison did not die at the Right Bank apartment but in a mens room stall in a Paris rock club and was transported there. There are others who believe that not unlike Elvis did not die.
The grave site in the Pere Lachaise cemetary in Paris is a must see tourist attraction to many Doors fans. Jim Morrisons remains are intered with the like of Gertrude Stein and Collete. Stiv Bators ashes were sprinkled upon Jim Morrisons grave.
"It hurts to set you free
But you'll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die
This is the end"
