Jim Morrison 'Died in Nightclub Lavatory'
- by Foreign Staff
A new book claims to reveal the truth about the death of Jim Morrison, the singer of the rock group The Doors, after decades of rumours.
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."
