Short answers, pulled from the story.
James Douglas Morrison was born on the 8th of December 1943 in Melbourne, Florida. His father was a naval officer who rose to the rank of rear admiral, creating a semi-nomadic childhood for the young Jim that took him from New Mexico to Texas, Virginia, and California.
When he was between three and four years old, Morrison allegedly witnessed a car crash in the desert of northern New Mexico where a truck overturned and Native Americans lay injured on the side of the road. He described this incident as the most formative event of his life, believing that the spirits of those dead Indians leaped into his soul.
On the 1st of March 1969, during a concert at the Dinner Key Auditorium in Miami, a visibly intoxicated Morrison attempted to spark a riot by screaming obscenities and asking the audience if they wanted to see his cock. Three days later, six warrants for his arrest were issued for indecent exposure, leading to the cancellation of many of their scheduled concerts and a trial that lasted sixteen days.
Pamela Courson served as Jim Morrison's girlfriend, muse, and eventual common-law wife from their early days in Clearwater, Florida, in 1962 until the end of his life. She was present in the apartment in Paris when Morrison died, and a probate court in California judged that they had a common-law marriage, making her the sole heir to his estate.
On the 3rd of July 1971, Jim Morrison was found dead in the bathtub of his apartment at 172 Rue des Beaux-Arts in the Le Marais district of Paris at the age of 27. The official cause of death was listed as heart failure, but no autopsy was performed as it was not required by French law, leaving the true circumstances of his death disputed.
The grave had no official marker until French officials placed a shield over it, which was stolen in 1973, leaving the site vulnerable to vandals and theft. In 1990, Morrison's father, George Stephen Morrison, placed a flat stone on the grave with a bronze plaque bearing the Greek inscription, Kata ton daimona eautou, which translates to true to his own spirit or according to his own daemon.
