Jim Morrison Bust found by chance during the police search, 37 years after he was stolen from Singer

The French police have recovered by chance the lost bust of the American singer Jim Morrison that once adorned the tomb of the iconic doors leader, 37 years after it was stolen from a cemetery in Paris.

The sculpture, disappeared since 1988, was found during a search linked to a case of fraud led by the Public Prosecutor of Paris, said a source close to the investigation to the News.

Fan of rock nostalgics still go to Morrison’s tomb in the Père Lachaise cemetery in Paris, where he was buried after his death in the French capital in 1971 at the age of 27.

The sculpture, by Croatian artist Mlald Mikulin, had been placed in the tomb to commemorate the tenth anniversary of Morrison’s death.

It was found by the financial and anti -corruption brigade of the Police Judicial Police Department.

Morrison’s serious: in an area known as Corner of the poet -That maybe the most visited resting place in the world of a musician. In 1991, on the 20th anniversary of the singer’s death, a riot broke out in his grave, the BBC reported, forcing the cemetery to hire additional security.

After that, a guard was “permanently parked in Morrison’s tomb, but the messages continue to appear in the surrounding tombs,” said the New York Times in 1993.

The exact circumstances of the singer’s death are still wrapped in mystery, and most of the first stories say he died of cardiac arrest in his bathtub.

A French journalist, Sam Bernett, said in a 2007 book that close friends and family turned the official version of Morrison’s death to disinfect their reputation.

Bernett said that Morrison actually died of an overdose of heroin in the bathroom of a nightclub that the journalist possessed at that time, the “rock circus ‘n’ roll” on the left shore of Paris.

The doors, founded in Los Angeles, were among the most influential rock groups in the late sixties and early 70s and a counterculture pillar at that time.

His successes include “Riders on the Storm”, “Light My Fire” and “The End”, a disturbing song that is prominently presented in the Vietnam War movie of Vietnam by Francis Ford, “Apocalypse Now” of 1979.

In February, Paris appointed a bridge after the iconic singer, located a few steps from the District of Marais Bohemio where he lived for the last time.
