Morrison excelled throughout his education, having had an IQ of 149. He was a troubled soul though, eventually becoming so alienated from his parents that he would later state that they were dead. The Doors were unstoppable in the late 60's. But this was short lived as Morrison's drug and alcohol abuse started taking a toll on him. He was frequently drugged or drunk, regularly showing up late for live performances. Morrison’s drinking, shenanigans and drug-taking severely hampered his ability to hit the high notes. On 3 July 1971, Morrison was found dead under mysterious circumstances, drug overdose being the most likely cause. Another version of this story has him waking up, coughing up blood, taking a bath, and then having the heart attack. Other rumors included him faking his death and his death happening at a Paris night club, and his body being taken to the apartment. But the information surrounding his death is still a mystery as an autopsy was never performed. Morrison was aged 27.
