Jim Morrison was found dead in Paris, France, on this day in 1971.
Morrison as he is best recalled. By the time of his death he had gone to having a heavy beard.
Morrison was an iconic figure of late 1960s rock and roll. He was the son of a Naval officer who would rise the rank of admiral. His upbringing was somewhat unconventional and necessarily nomadic and, following graduation from UCLA's film school, he took up a career in music and went from being unknown to being a major figure in the 1960s rock scene by the late 60s. Dependent upon alcohol and a user of drugs, the actual cause of his death at age 27 is not known.
