The End of Jim Morrison 

Nobody looked like him or sang like him, nobody wrote poetry like him, such a beautiful man❤

I just started listening to his music in 1970 and a friend was explaining to me how Jim Morrison is the best writer and how he loved his music. Then a year later we heard that he died. What a tragedy to the music scene that was. The friend I'm referring to has also died of a drug overdose last year and I just found out 4 days ago. Thank you, Mark Morris, for introducing me to some great music. RIP my childhood friend 🤗

Terrific documentary. He was so handsome and talented. Sorry he didn't have the chance to be truly celebrated for his music. But it doesn't sound like the music world was where he wanted a place. God bless you and thank you for the best documentary I've seen. He deserved this.

I've seen many Doors/Jim Morrison documentaries but never seen this one until now. Enjoyed it a lot. Thanks for uploading.

Fascinating documentary! No matter what you may believe, Jim is still gone and dearly missed. Such a beautiful soul.

Truly the best documentary I’ve seen on Jim’s demise. I wish he was still with us. Heartbreaking. He was a genius poet.

I know a lot about seeking friendship and not finding it. It's a lonely feeling. I can relate to Jim.

What a phenomenal documentary from start to finish. R.I.P. Jim ❤️

I had the privilege of visiting Jim’s grave site!! Nothing like I imagined!! But very unique to say the least! Some people come to this world only to stay for a little while! It was also our privilege to get a glimpse of those special people!! I appreciate the opportunity to revisit the life story of Jim Morrison! Thank you!❤

I have three books on the Doors and and probably have seen at least four videos on Morrison's death. The video is the only one that provides new information.

My grandfather was a naval captain, and the naval attache in Paris during Jim's passing. He was friends with Jim's father and looked into his death. Went to his place and everything,

You cant run away from yourself. Everyone realises that when its too late.

Best Documentary on Jim. No bullshit.

Jim had such a distinctive voice and look. A very unique human being.

I've watched a lot of Jim Morrison stuff on RU-vid, but this was worthy. There's so much junk, but this was worthy. Damn, Jim, we really missed something with you. You had a life left, and we missed it. Not that it was ours. Still, feel cheated. You were something.

I’ve read the books including no one gets out of here alive years ago . Good documentary. I visited the cemetery in the early 2000’s and by chance saw the doors visit on an anniversary. Unbelievable I know but true . Long live the doors

Wow, the “James Douglas Morrison; faithful to his demons.” written in Greek that his parents had put on the tomb 20 years after his passing is eerie and crazy. Never knew that fact before this. Great doc!

Very sad he didn’t have anyone close to him. The people in this video certainly didn’t have his back😢😢

WOW!! Outstanding! Thanks. Had seen many documentaries of Jim & The Doors, but this one was heartfelt, pained and wrenched my heart and soul! Requiescat in Pace / Repose en paix / Rest in Peace dearest Jimbo!!! 😭😭😭

This is a fine documentary about the man. And at the end, Jim came alive...

I think this documentary is the best one I’ve seen on him. Thank you!

An excellent documentary with comprehensive and convincing analysis. The mystique of Jim Morrison’s passing is presented with respect and witness recollection. RIP to all who influence with art and make impressions to humanity ✌🏽

This was a fascinating documentary. I had read an article that suggested Jim died this way. Heartbreaking loss.

Just amazing. I was never crazy about the Doors or their music, (they were decades before I was born. However I was a real advocate of other bands. TBH, I've watched Doors documentaries before and they were _never NEVER_ like this one. I feel foolish for believing the indecent exposure thing & not truly knowing who Jim Morrison really was. Had I not heard his band mates speak, I would still be ignorantly in the dark. Thank you for doing what other documentaries haven't...for some reason.

When EVERYONE is lying or shutting up when its time to tell the truth, what results is always Chaos.

Say what you want to but the doors was a fantastic band and the 3 musicians behind jim were excellent but without jim they would be unknown to us all

They didn’t know, at age 27, that you could die from alcoholism? Geez, I knew it when I was 9. And you don’t even need to be an alcoholic to die from alcohol poisoning. It always blows my mind that so many grown ass “adults” don’t know this.

This was very good. I think this is the most plausible scenario surrounding his death. I want to add that the intended meaning of the inscription that Jim’s father put on his grave was “ true to or faithful to his own spirit” not demon.

JM⭐️⚡️💥❤️‍🔥The Icon.Thank for uploading this film🫶

Merci pour ce documentaire. Jim m'a toujours fascinée. J'ai vu sa tombe au père Lachaise mais pour moi il n'est pas là. Il chevauche toujours les cieux tourmentés par l'orage.

Morrison was exhibiting classic withdrawal symptoms. He was cold in July, wanted to sit by a fireplace, coughing nonstop, short of breath going up the stairs, tense, depressed, etc. Classic WD signs. He wasn't just dabbling he had physical dependency at that point.

Hi. I’m the only person who has never seen the movie or any Morrison documentaries. This is interesting and sad.

I've always been fascinated by Jim Morrison. Thanks for the video.👍🏽

It feels like everybody is holding some piece of the secret.... The manager and the un-opened casket... The g-friend and the bathtub... The fireman not questioning the 30 degrees water .. the parent's late inscrption ..... Many things do not seem to tied up...... As the drummer says... If someone could fake his own death, that could be Jim

Break on through....love and best wishes from Scottish long time fan...still got my teeshirts as a teenager. Embarrassing for my children but i love them... Jim is a legend

Jim Morrison was eccentric and very talented in writing and very charismatic. He lived a very sad life because he never found peace alcohol ruled call him and destroyed his future. His life was cut short because of his choices 😔

The phrase in Greek that his parents inscribed on Jim Morrisons tombstone means "TRUE TO HIS NATURE, TRUE TO HIS SPIRIT"..Not True to his demons!...I'm Greek, Get it Right!..Whats wrong with you!! The man was exploited enough!! Jim's parents and family adored him! You are disrespecting and lying about the Eternal Legacy of Jim Morrison, his family, his Art and his fans like me that will LOVE this man past forever. I love and thank you Jim Morrison ❤ TRUE TO YOURSELF 💕

The trend setter for eighties hair, even before the seventies.

This is an amazing bio. So wonderfully put together both visually, anecdotally, and historically.Thank you for putting this out. ✌🏻

Wow this was amazing. I've listened to many doc about Jim. But wow interesting turn of events that we didn't know. .. and perhaps never will 😢

Best music and performances. Sooo talented!

Pam saying "I don't want any interference" (paraphrasing). Am I the only one who thinks that is an odd thing to say ? Even from a heroin addict?

He had aged so quickly in such a short period. His good looks and lean body were gone by the time he was 27 years of age. He lived and partied hard. Very sad end.

I remember as a young kid watching the doors play Light my fire on some Saturday night TV show in 1968, I believe, I remember we had a black and white TV, kind of like the opening of this documentary.

53 years that's as close to the truth as we can get

Yes..LA is different now.. The sidewalks are stained with blood.. The stench of death blows in ftom the desert..the vultures gaze never shifts, from above..

Fantastic and thought provoking. Marvelous!

This was in French sub titled in English. I believe the ‘club’ version. After a while Jim was mostly on his own. Pam was off with her friends and French count. According to Jim’s brother in law he was impotent the last 3yrs of his life because of alcoholism and that’s why he started to take the china white so he could rise to the occasion. He became extremely depressed. I think he started to miss home. I believe this documentary to be a true account. Also according to Jim’s brother in law, Pam constantly mentioned about how much she would receive if he should ‘pop off’.

Great Documentary thanks for sharing

Where has this been hiding?, never seen it before… never knew so much happened in such short of a time after Jim left LA. Thanks for the upload 🙏

Thank you for this.

I love Jim Morrison, most great minds have issues.

In the end, Jim is the one responsible for his own demise. No mystery here. His unhealthy lifestyle and the choices he made took a toll on his body and he passed away.

Thank you---Best on the topic that this ol' Doors man ever saw.

First I've seen in such detailed way!!! ❤ But at the same time it makes you wonder why he didn't look in the casket ...but I do appreciate the fact that people haven't forgotten about him or the doors ..I still listen to their songs ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

J'ai grandi avec les Doors et malgré toutes ces années j'ai toujours plaisir à les écouter. Que dire de plus je ressens un grand vide 😢 depuis la mort deJim. Ce documentaire est très intéressant merci ❤

very well done! but wat puzzles me is the bath water being warm 30 degrees is that Celsius I'm assuming why would the water be warm 2 and half hours after Pam finds Jim when the Fire brigade show up ?

Interesting content. Thank you for the work.

I was just at his grave a few weeks ago. I went early and was the only one there, there’s a fence up to prevent people from going near the grave. There were a lot of drawings and momento’s left on his grave though. It was such a surreal moment seeing his grave after being obsessed with Jim’s lyrics and Doors music for the last 20 years or so (I’m 38). It was a very somber feeling standing there seeing the image I’d seen in so many photos and read multiple books about The doors. Very beautiful walk through pere lachaise cemetery and I highly recommend going if you’re in Paris.

May you rest in peace Jim.

Good documentary. Nothing that I didn't already know. Yes, the OD possibility at the Circus, is new info, but it truly doesn't change the outcome.

Good documentary - Thanks for uploading it. This should quash all the rumors that Jim Morrison faked his death and planned to disappear. How could he, when his body and his health were in such bad shape from all the alcohol abuse and drugs. The Doors were a great '60's rock group - would have liked it if the makers of this film had also included interviews with Robby Kruger and Ray Manzarek. Morrison was a handsome guy - too bad he wasted his good looks on alcohol and drugs which made him paunchy.

Loved JM.

The inscription was true too his own spirit, big difference, you might want to correct that.

Well done. Very interesting content

The 27 club! 🥶

I have see this documentary in 2015 firts time!! Very interesting!!

Jim Morrison dad was the U.S. navy commander of the ships that got attacked starting the Vietnam war

Awesome video thank you ❤

Faithful has come clean and told her story in the last few years. It's a heck of a story and I believe she's telling the true story.

Brilliant documentary!

So sad this 27 club, great artists gone too soon. RIP Jim

What’s with the Parisians regarding assisting people to hospital? Like the night Princess Di died. And calling a fire brigade?

Thanks 👍

This man had congestive heart failure. It is obvious from how he looked at the end. The doctors kept giving him inhalers for asthma. The alcoholism didn't help. Almost anything on top of those factors would have killed him. Rest in power, Jim.

Amazing the same tub where he died is still there and in use. Imagine showering every day in the same tub Jim Morrison died in.

Riders on the Storm clearly about a Serial killer, strange the 70's would become Serial killers period of mass killings of such, he also predicted computer generated music in future, 90's it happened. This is very good, lot I not have seen of people he was was friends with. Very good ....The Irish in him, Drank, brawled....deep romantic of poems .....sort of Celtic, indeed interesting ....and great music. from UK....

Back in the 1,960's and 1,970's, young males AND young females in the USA regularly wore white, long-sleeved, formal, dress shirts with casual pants and casual shoes.

most talented people seem to all have metal problems. from athletes to entertainers to artist.

Okay here is the truth of how I got to meet Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger. I live on the East Coast of America in the Delaware River Valley region, the Delaware river is between Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and my ancestral home. So I heard on the radio in 2007 that the Doors were to receive their Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame while I was on the East Coast. I called Leon Hendrix (Jimi's younger brother) to let him know I'd be coming to Los Angeles and was going to see the Doors Star ceremony. So after we had lunch at "Musso & Frank Grill" we went. And while the ceremony was getting more and more crowded, Leon and I went across the street to the Roosevelt Hotel to have a seat and drink at the "Cinegrill" inside of the Roosevelt Hotel. We could see through the window the affair was winding down and a number of people were coming over to the Roosevelt Hotel. Prior to going into the Cinegrill Leon and I walked to the back pool area of the Roosevelt Hotel and we noticed that there was a get together event being held for the Doors on the ground floor in one of the ballrooms inside the Roosevelt. As the Star laying ceremony broke up a number of people were walking into the Roosevelt. So we wondered if we could get in this after event and got in line. Now just when Leon and I got up to the young lady holding the clipboard with the names of the invited guest Robby Krieger walked up and saw Leon and said "Hey Leon nice to see you do you want to join us" just like that we were inside beyond the "velvet rope". I spoke with Ray Manzarek. I told him about my summers of '66 & '67 at the New Jersey shore at the town of Seaside and about the coaster ride "the Swiss Bob" on the Seaside, NJ boardwalk and about the operator of this coaster ride only played the long version of "Light My Fire" during the ride. And told Ray about how it was for me being on that coaster ride with the beat of John Densmore and his, Ray's, carnival like keyboards of "Light My Fire" coursing through my mind at that time. It reminded me of a book I read a few years earlier in 1964 by Ray Bradbury called "Something Wicked This Way Comes". You can catch the gist of the story in this Wikipedia page: "A carnival comes to town. In dealing with the creepy figures of this carnival, the boys learn how to combat fear. The carnival's leader is the mysterious "Mr. Dark", who seemingly wields the power to grant the citizenry's secret desires." In the summer of '67 again back at Seaside Beach and I just got out the movie theater after seeing "The Dirty Dozen" and I'm up on the boardwalk right near where Maruca's Tomato Pies (Maruca’s Pizza) was originally located (on September 12, 2013 that portion of the Seaside Boardwalk was destroyed in a massive fire) and I put $0.25 down on one of the "try your luck spin the wheel" stands and it landed on the one and only spot on the wheel where you got the choice of any thing and I took the sunburst electric guitar made in Japan that was a copy of a Fender Stratocaster. I still play guitar today and have quite a few but I should have kept that $0.25 Japanese Fender copy. It actually wasn't too bad. I have photos of Leon Hendrix and Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger and I at the Roosevelt Hotel. On October 27, 1997 Robby and his son Oakley Krieger were playing for a Muscular Dystrophy benefit at the club "Tramps" on 51 West 21st Street, Manhattan, New York City. And John Densmore was there but I didn't speak with John I wished I had but it looked to me he just wanted to be left alone so we just stood in the wings of the staged and watched the show. My buddy Scott Simon from Yardley, Pennsylvania was filling in for the keyboard player in the Blue Oyster Cult that night. Ray Manzerek was to ill to play. But Ray has also jammed with BOC in the past as well as Robby who has done at least a good handful of times.

This is the end the end, my friend

He died at 5am, The fire dept got there at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="570">9:30</a> am and the tub water was warm?

Morrison's good friend Danny Sugarman, wrote a good book about his times with Morrison. According to him, Jim's woman, Pamela, confessed to him that she had given Morrison a shot of pure heroin, and the repercussions of that led to his death. The couple had both been using heroin, Pam more than him. She died around three later, from a heroin overdose.

The definition of an alcoholic is someone who cannot stop once they start. RIP Jim

This was excellent

It's interesting to see new people or hear new stories from people about what happened to Jim. Too much content on RU-vid is being repackaged for views.

Whether he really died, or merely staged his own demise, the goal was acheived, which was to escape an existence that held no meaning for him and that had spun out of control. But he burned bright for a short while just as many like him had. Jack London, Rimbaud, Oscar Wilde, and some of his own contemporaries in music.

Excellent ❤.

nice documentary , thanks . Morrison was a special man but doors a special band , a sound and themes not like the others

The 27 club. Sad.

This doc presentation was superior to several others. It connects the dots best. 👏

This was great thank you for sharing ❤

*At **<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="3036">50:36</a>** mark in this video James Douglass Morrison 1943 - 1971 Inscription in Greek "KATA ΤΟN ΔΑΙΜΟΝA EAΤΟΥ" translates in English "AGAINST THE DEMON WITHIN THYSELF" is the correct translation*

Riders on the storm was fantastic and other artists have sung this song it's SO good. RIP Jim gone too soon 😢❤

Thanks

This is probably the best documentary about Jim's death I've seen! Perhaps one day Marianne Faithful will divulge her own account of things..? Here's hoping. It would put a lot of ghosts to rest.

Je suis Française et <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="694">11:34</a> pourtant jim estmon idole .... Ce n etait pas evident de l aimer en 1966 67 jusqu en 71 J etais a Paris le jour ou on a appris son deces ...c etait lugubre ..... Il etait si beau si complique si malheureux .....seul .....il love you jim for ever❤

Very informative. RIP Jim ❤✌🏼🙏🏼

At the end when he says the inscription on his gravestone in Greek says 'Faithful to his own Demons'' is wrong. I watched an interview with his sister and she said it means 'Faithful to his own spirit' .She said their Father had chosen this.verse.

I saw the Doors perform twice, before Jim started loosing it with alcohol, at Santa Monica Civic (1967 summer) and the 5th of July 1968 Bowl concerts. Jim would be pleased their music has had huge numbers of fans in every generation since then.
