of cardiac arrest in his bathtub.<\/p>\n<p>A French journalist, Sam Bernett, claimed in a 2007 book that close friends and family spun the official version of Morrison&#8217;s death to sanitize his reputation.<\/p>\n<p>Bernett said Morrison actually died from a heroin overdose on the toilet of a nightclub that the journalist owned at the time, the &#8220;Rock &#8216;n&#8217; Roll Circus&#8221; on Paris&#8217; Left Bank.<\/p>\n<p>The Doors, founded in Los Angeles, were among the most influential rock groups of the late 1960s and early 70s and a mainstay of the counterculture at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Their hits include &#8220;Riders on the Storm,&#8221; &#8220;Light My Fire&#8221; and &#8220;The End,&#8221; a haunting song that features prominently in Francis Ford Coppola&#8217;s 1979 Vietnam war movie &#8220;Apocalypse Now&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>In February, Paris named a bridge after the iconic singer, located just steps from the bohemian Marais district where he last lived.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS
