Patricia Kennealy-Morrison—the one-time rock journalist and partner of Doors singer Jim Morrison—died July 23rd at the age of 75.
“To all of you who have supported our beloved Lizard Queen, I wanted to let you know that she passed this morning,” Kennealy-Morrison’s Lizard Queen Press—the company she founded to release her fiction work—wrote on Facebook at the time. “To say we are all reeling from the news is an understatement. We will miss our friend very, very much. She was a beautiful soul, a talented writer, and a loving and wonderful friend.”
The Los Angeles Times reports that Kennealy-Morrison was found dead in her New York City apartment in late July; the cause of death has since been ruled complications from heart disease.
