Just seen an article in The Mail on Sunday regarding new claims that Jim did not die in his bath at all. See the full article here:

Make your own minds up on this one, I am just the messanger!

moving this to general discussion

wow, if so i hope they at least charge them with something.
this changes history quite a bit... he was helpin' out pam.. thats why he left her in th eapartment, getting her some horse, but i;'v eheard it time an dagian that jim did not do H.....i dunno

if true, this clarifies some of the mystery.

whats ray's take ?

This may sound a bit silly but does it really matter how JDM died? I think everyone can really accept that one way or another Jim died from abusing intoxicants, whether it was alcohol, heroin or some new fandangled substance he ultimately died through drug abuse. If a new investigation is opened then it is also unlikely they are going to come away with anything conclusive after 36 years, so they may as well let the mystery continue. It is what attracts a lot of people to the doors music and keeps the band in the press ultimately collecting new fans.

I heard one of the D J on Sirius radio talking about it today. So it is definately out.

Well, I don't think this is new news........I think everyone has speculated about drugs being a part of his death. The whole thing was a huge cover up the way his way buried so quickly etc........With Pam's nasty little heroin habit, there are theories that Jim could have snorted her heroin thinking it was cocaine and if he had alcohol in his system (probably) it is a lethal combination that leads to respiratory failure. It happened to the late great Tim Buckley. So, they called it a "heart failure" to soften it all up.
Nobody is really fooled.
But getting back to the subject......yeah after all of these years......does it really matter? No. The music is still alive.

It won't happen (They are affraid of what might or might not be revealed)

It won't happen, they are affraid of what it may reveal.

Bollox. I saw that too. Has anyone ever read David Carradine's book, Endless Highway? Well, he was pretty loud and eccentric, and he drank as much as Jim and took as many drugs - in fact, probably even more and he is still kicking around at the age of 70 - literally kicking too! Think about it. Jim did not die of drugs and/or alcohol abuse. Trust me.

My comments:
Wow, If that is true they would have to dig up the body and do you know how many people would object to that ?
And just a little pun on lyrics from Yes, The River Knows

"If you don't need me
I'm going, but I need a little time
I promised I would drown myself in mysticated wine
Please believe me
The river told me
Very softly
Want you to hold me, ooo
I'm going, but I need a little time
I promised I would drown myself in mysticated wine
Free fall flow, river flow
On and on it goes
Breath under water 'till the end"

The Rock and Roll Circus club up is up for rent which means the story that Jim died in the toilet there is a hoax.

Sam is looking for a sucker of a new owner who will be naive enough to further perpetuate his lie so that more tourists will flock over there like it's the Pere Lachaize or something. It's pure bunk.

The story is so absurd: Two heroin dealers/underworld figures perhaps (probably on heroin) carried Jim's dead weight of a lifeless body that was seeping bodily fluids all over the place, carried the body out of the club on early July 3rd which was a festive Fourth of July Holiday Weekend where tourists were roaming the Paris streets. Then the French Burke and Hare arrived at the hotel C.O.D., where there was staff and a clerk at the desk handing out keys to the room, took Jim's dead body up to his room up three flights of stairs, then dumped his body in the bath tub? Absurd.

That depresses me. One of the things I want to do before I die is to visit Jim Morrison's grave. Although he was dead way before I was even concieved, he still is and always will be an important person in my life. I wish he was still alive so bad. I love him so much. Ray, John, and Robbie are sooo lucky to have been with him most of the time. To have made music with him....

='(

Hi All, did he have to wait all this time just to think up that dumb story.

It doesn't really matter if Jim

overdosed on any drug legal or other

slipped in the bath

had an asthma attack

eloped to Mexico

joined the circus

or my favourite he's a red-neck cowboy

He's not here thats the sad fact, he's no longer able to share his magical poetic insight with us thats a FACT.

Hi Nora I don't think you have to travel all the way to Paris to visit Jim's grave which is essentialy an empty shell listen or read his poety if you want to shoe him some last respect.

To me it's the way the music can sometimes give you butterflys in your tummy when you here the opening few cords on one of his fantastic songs it feels sometimes like a first date.

You are right. You are absolutely right and I know the feeling. Anytime I'm angry, sad, happy, whatever emotion I am, I still listen to the Doors and get the same emotion. I love them all so much...Jim Morrison is dead. At least, his body is, but I think his spirit lies in me and anyone who listens to his music and embraces the words he says, the sounds of the instruments. He is alive in soul. I wish that I could meet him soo bad though- in real life. I want to meet Ray/Robbie/John equally as bad. They are all so wonderful and so liberated...I admire them..

BANG!

BANG


HORRAY!

I shot myself in the head

Hooray!

VIVA LAS VEGAS!
