Jim Morrison was always drunk or stoned and died at age 27 from a heart attack, his body just gave out from all the abuse. He was in essensc a talented loser.

We don't always know everyone's backstory, though.  For instance, many would have looked down on Kurt Cobain, but he was the victim of child sexual abuse probably.

Now with Jim Morrison, I don't really know what is going on.  Maybe he wasn't a victim.  I know his dad was a high-ranking Navy admiral.  He was initially not supportive of Jim's musical pursuits.
