Holy Crap!
So, rumor has it that Jim Morrison’s death (in 1971) might be reinvestigated.
Apparently, The Doors frontman didn’t die in his bathtub at age 27, but instead, lost his life inside the bathroom of the Rock ‘n Roll Circus club in Paris, from a heroin overdose.
It’s also claimed that he was moved to the bathtub for the purpose of a cover-up, that way the drug dealers he despised wouldn’t get a bad name for themselves.
This information comes from a presonal friend of Morrison, Sam Bernett.
Here’s a clip of the article in Rolling Stone.
“Bernett claims that in the early hours of July 3, 1971, Morrison showed up looking to buy heroin for his then-girlfriend Pamela Courson. After scoring and splitting for the bathroom, he failed to reappear. “About half an hour later, a cloakroom attendant came up to me and told me someone was locked in one of the cubicles and wasn’t coming out. I got a bouncer to smash the door down,” Bernett recalls. He says he found Morrison’s body slumped over the toilet. “We were certain he’d been snorting heroin because there was foam coming out of his lips as well as blood,” Bernett says. “He was scared of needles so never injected drugs.” Bernett brought in a customer who worked as a medic, who proclaimed Morrison dead.
At this point, Bernett says, Morrison’s dealers appeared, insisted the singer was still alive (though passed out) and carried the rocker out of the club, saying they would take care of him. Shortly thereafter, Bernett claims someone representing the club’s owner called, warning him not to tell anyone what happened.”
