A sculpture of the late American singer and poet Jim Morrison that went missing from his gravesite in Paris almost four decades ago has been found,
“The energy of Jim Morrison is still with us, in the ether.”Morrison, who was also known as “The Lizard King,” developed a reputation for his heavy alcohol drinking and shocking onstage antics.Morrison left the band in 1971 to focus on writing poetry and he moved to Paris with his girlfriend, Pamela Courson.However, he died in their Paris apartment later that year.Courson told authorities that she had found the singer dead in the bathtub.His cause of death is officially recorded as being heart failure but no autopsy was conducted, prompting conspiracy theories. “After 37 years of absence, the bust of Jim Morrison, stolen in 1988 from the Père Lachaise cemetery, has been found,” wrote the Paris Regional Judicial Police Directorate in an Instagram post on Friday. Resting in the Père Lachaise cemetery, it is one of the most popular graves in Paris, according to the city’s official tourism website, with crowds gathering there on the anniversary of his death on July 3 every year.
