27 years old...DUMB FUCK
On July 3, 1971, Morrison was found dead in the bathtub of the apartment at approximately 6:00 a.m.,
[67] by Courson.
[68][69][70] He was 27 years old.
[71] The official cause of death was listed as
heart failure,
[72][73] although no
autopsy was performed, as it was not required by
French law. It has also been reported, by several individuals who say they were eyewitnesses, that his death was due to an accidental heroin overdose.
[74]
His death came two years to the day after the death of
Rolling Stones guitarist
Brian Jones and approximately nine months after the deaths of
Jimi Hendrix and
Janis Joplin — all of whom
died at the age of 27.
[75] Three years after Morrison's death, Courson also died, of a heroin overdose, at the age of 27.
[76] There have been a number of conspiracy theories concerning Morrison's death.
