The 27-year-old frontman for The Doors was found dead in the bathtub of an apartment in Paris on July 3, 1971. Though there were witnesses, no autopsy was performed and he was buried quickly in a Paris cemetery. A leading theory for his death was heart failure from a drug overdose, likely heroin.

Before the End is a new documentary by director Jeff Finn exploring the persistent conspiracy theory that The Doors lead singer Jim Morrison faked his own death at age 27 on July 3, 1971. The generally accepted and rather tragic tale is that Morrison drank himself death and died of heart failure in the bathtub of his Paris apartment.
