Documentary saying Jim Morrison is alive is released

The legendary Doors singer and main songwriter, Jim Morrison, died in 1971 at the age of 27 and was buried in Paris, where he was living at the time. However, filmmaker and Doors superfan Jeff Finn has another theory about his fate.

As he speculates in the documentary “Before the End: Searching for Jim Morrison“, now available on Apple TV+, the musician is actually alive and living in Syracuse, New York.

According to Finn, Morrison faked his own death and has been living as a maintenance worker named Frank. Several coincidences have fueled this theory, such as Frank allegedly being a friend of Doors drummer John Densmore and having a scar on his face where the late singer had a mole. Additionally, they share similar interests and connections. However, there are also key differences—Morrison had lighter eyes, while the maintenance worker has dark eyes.

In the documentary, Frank denies being The Doors’ singer but states that if anyone could have faked their own death, it would certainly be Morrison.

Morrison was buried before an autopsy was performed, and the official cause of death was ruled as heart failure, possibly due to his heavy drug and alcohol use. He would have celebrated his 82nd birthday in 2025.

I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago. Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions. After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world! MTB: 0021377/MG
