Jim Morrison - Overdose

One fact that seems fairly conclusive is that when he complained of feeling ill Courson drew Morrison a bath, and found his dead body still immersed next morning. Whether he had overdosed on heroin remains an unanswered question, his body was already sealed in a coffin before a reliable post mortem could be performed. What seems most likely is that years of alcohol and drug abuse finally took their toll on a man who was only twenty seven but felt bloated and forty seven.
