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.[77][78]
Borderline genius and threw it all away. As much acid as he dropped, I wonder what his true mental state was when he died. As successful as the Doors were, he died penniless.
