Jim Morrison Cause Of Death

Jim Morrison’s drug use, violent temper and infidelity culminated in disaster in New Haven, Connecticut on the night of December 9, 1967. Morrison was high, drunk and carrying on with a young woman backstage before a show when he was confronted by a police officer and sprayed the mace.

He then stormed onstage and delivered a profanity-laced tirade that led to his arrest on stage, which then sparked area riots. Morrison was later arrested in 1970 for allegedly exposing himself at a Florida concert, though the charges were posthumously dropped decades later.

On July 3, 1971, Curson found the Morrison dead in the bathtub of their apartment, apparently, of heart failure. Since the French officials found no evidence of foul play, no autopsy was performed, which has, in turn, led to endless speculation and conspiracy theorizing about his death.

He was only 27 years old at the time of his death.
