The former manager of a Paris nightclub has claimed that Doors frontman Jim Morrison died in a toilet stall at the club from a heroin overdose.
This challenges the testimony of girlfriend Pamela Courson that Morrison died from heart failure while taking a bath.
In the book 'The End: Jim Morrison', Sam Bernett claims two drug dealers found Morrison's body in the toilet stall of Paris' Rock and Roll Circus club on 3 July 1971, and dragged him back to his apartment. In an attempt to revive him, they placed him in the bath.
Bernett writes, "When we found him dead, he had a little foam on his nose, and some blood too, and the doctor said, 'That must be an overdose of heroin.'"
