The Apple TV+ documentary “Before The End: Searching for Jim Morrison” explores the theory that Jim Morrison, lead singer of the band The Doors, faked his own death. The musician unexpectedly passed away in Paris at the age of 27 in 1971.
A passionate fan of The Doors, Jeff Finn, produced the documentary “Before The End: Searching for Jim Morrison,” which investigates the theory that Jim Morrison, the band’s lead singer, faked his death.
Morrison was buried at Père Lachaise Cemetery after unexpectedly dying in Paris in 1971 at the age of 27. Many theorize that the singer’s death was related to a heroin overdose.
The musician’s girlfriend, Pamela Courson, initially denied his death and later claimed she found him lifeless in the rented apartment. No autopsy was performed.
The Apple TV+ documentary follows director Finn as he investigates the theory that Morrison faked his death, as claimed by The Doors’ keyboardist Ray Manzarek.
Finn decided to track down a man named Frank X, who had features similar to Morrison.
He showed a photo of Frank standing next to the band’s drummer, John Densmore, to Morrison’s ex-girlfriends, who were shocked by the man’s resemblance to their former partner.
After verifying that some physical traits were similar to the singer’s, Finn asked Frank, “Are you Jim Morrison?”
“I’m not Jim, but I love Jimmy Cliff’s music: ‘We are all one, we are the same person,’” Frank replied.
