Jim Douglas
Morrison was the lead singer for a band called The Doors. Morrison was also
known for his outrageous lyrics and drug and alcohol abuse. He died on July
3rd, 1971, of a heart attack caused by an overdose of Heroin (“How Did Jim
Morrison Die?”). A theory was made that Jim Morrison purposely drugged himself
and made himself look dead, then he went into a comma and woke up six weeks later
(“The Doors Conspiracy Surrounding Jim Morrison’s Death”). It is also said that
Morrison’s wife Patricia Kennelly murdered him by preforming witchcraft (“The
Doors Conspiracy surrounding Jims Morrison’s Death”). No one really knows how
Morrison died, and as a result many theories were made.
On December 8, 1943, a crazy genius named Jim Morrison was
born. "During high school Morrison’s grades were astonishing and was a
year ahead of his class" his sister stated ("Interview with
Morrison's father and sister"). As a student in high school, Morrison's
hobby was to read and write poetry ("Interview with Morrison's father and
sister"). When Morrison graduated high school, he attended UCLA in Florida
to get a degree in film and later to join Hollywood ("Interview with Morrison's father and
sister"). But, things did not go as planned. After graduating UCLA
Morrison lived on someone's roof top only eating canned beans and doing LSD for
months ("short biography of Jim Morrison"). He later stumbled upon
Ray Manzarek, who he went to UCLA with ("short biography of Jim
Morrison"). Morrison informed Ray that he had been writing poems and songs
and that he was visioning a rock concert in his head, so ray asked Morrison to
sing one of his songs ("short biography of Jim Morrison"). Ray was so
impressed that he suggested starting a band later to be known as The Doors
("short biography of Jim Morrison").
Jim Morrison’s internal conflict
was the use of drugs. He used the quote "if the doors of perception were
cleansed everything would appear to man as it is infinite” as an excuse to take
mind expanding drugs in order to see the truth and to write his lyrics
("short biography of Jim Morrison").
Morrison started taking drugs regularly in the late 1960s. Besides this,
Morrison reportedly started coming to studio recordings in completely drunken
state (Jim Morrison Biography). Morrison also arrived late at live shows and
performances. For example, in 1969, while in a
stage performance at the concert taking place in Dinner Key Auditorium, Miami,
Jim allegedly vexed the audience and tried to spark off a riot among the crowd
but he failed (Jim Morrison Biography). Jim was arrested and a warrant was
issued by the Dade County Police department after three days of the performance
(Jim Morrison Biography). Jim Morrison was a crazy genius!
Since Morrison passed away, many
conspiracy theories were made. The first conspiracy theory is that Jim Morrison
faked his own death. The details of what
actually happened on July 3, 1971, the night of Morrison’s death, are not
exactly clear ("The
Doors Conspiracy Surrounding Jim Morrison’s Death"). What is known is that Pamela
Courson, Jim Morrison’s longtime girlfriend, found him dead in the bathtub of
their Parisian apartment (1). It seems that French medical examiners found no
evidence of foul play and ruled Morrison’s death a result of natural causes (1).
The official stance was that 27-year-old Jim Morrison died of heart failure (1).This
determination was made without the medical examiner performing an autopsy (1).
Morrison’s age, the lack of an autopsy, and the fact that his passing was not
announced until four days after his death sparked a flurry of alternate
theories about what really happened to The Doors front man (1).
The second conspiracy theory is that
Patricia Kennealy, Jim Morrison’s wife, murdered Jim by the use of witch craft.
Their wedding ceremony was really unusual. She married Jim Morrison in a witch
hand-fasting ceremony (“Patricia (keneally) Morrison of the Doors is a
Wiccan/Celtic Witch!”). In the witch marriage ceremony blood was spilled and a
knife was used. Mrs. Morrison said “I make two tiny cuts on the inside of my
left wrist, carefully over the bone; we don't want to slice any arteries here
and blood wells up immediately” (1). Patricia also said that they cut each
other’s wrists and drunk some blood (1).Patricia is from a religion called
paganism. Pagans are dedicated to spiritual growth and personal development
(“What Is Paganism”). They also worship a god or goddess through rituals or ceremonies
(1).From what it sounds like, it is normal to do all that crazy witchcraft during a pagan wedding ceremony, but it is
still possible that she killed Jim because of her past experience with
witchlike practices.
The third conspiracy theory is that Jim
overdosed on heroin. In 1969 Jim was accused of showing his genitals to the
audience (“Did Jim Morrison Really Die in His Bathtub?”). Jim got charged with indecent exposer and
due to that incident many of his concerts were cancelled (1).This led Jim to
move to Paris, in order for him to escape the negative publicity. In Paris
Morrison spent practically every night at the Rock and Roll Circus; this club
was managed by a man called Bernett. On July 3, 1971, Morrison went to the club
and was joined by two men that were drug dealers who sold him heroin for
Courson, Bernett said (1).At one point, Bernett noticed that Morrison had
disappeared. Later, the bouncer broke down the door of a locked toilet stall,
and they discovered Morrison unresponsive (1). They told a customer who was a
doctor to examine him and he was pronounced dead. Bernett did not call the
paramedics in order to avoid a scandal (1).
Later the two men said that Morrison was just unconscious and they
carried him back to his room and threw him in the bathtub in a last attempt to
revive him (1).
The problem
was that Jim’s girlfriend Pamela Courson told a completely different story.
Pamela said that they went to the movies and out for dinner that night,
listened to records and fell asleep (1). Later Morrison awoke in the night
feeling ill and took a hot bath. Pamela said she found him dead in the tub (1).
As the years have passed, no one really Knows what
happened to Jim Morrison. As a result there were three conspiracies developed:
1. Jim morrison faked his own death.
2. Patricia Keneally (Jim's wife) murdered Morrison by
the use of witchcraft
3. Jim overdosed on heroin
Even today, after 44 years of Jim Morrison's sketchy
death, people debate wether morrison died that day or if he faked his own death
to escape the fame and critisism, to pursue his long life dream of beign a
poet.
