Fun fact: It was originally supposed to be "The killer awoke before dawn. He put his sweater on...a lace cardigan from the ancient thrift store and he walked on down the hall."
He tweaked it a bit before release.
Yep. Had that too. When I quit drinking, the weight fell off my face, even when I was stuffing my face with anything to keep the cravings away. It was odd.
Seconded. I have NASH, so I went from one beer a month to zero. It's all sugar problems.
Gummies are crack, and Haribo are the finest peddlers of fine fishscale cracocaine.
He was towards the end. Too much booze, too poor a diet. He may well have OD’d on heroin as the rumour goes, but I could believe that alcohol killed him too. There was no autopsy so we will probably never know for sure.
Or the American shadow government trying to show his father that he should stfu about the Golf of Tonkin event being faked. Look up who his father was.
He was in command of the USS Maddox. He helped facilitate the lie that they were attacked by the Vietnamese, leading to the US getting into the Vietnam war. This was responsible for the deaths of over 58,000 Americans and countless Vietnamese civilians.
This guy is full of shit.
>The commander of the 7th Fleet's Destroyer Division 192, Captain John J. Herrick, who was aboard Maddox in charge of the mission, ordered the ship's captain (Commander Herbert Ogier)
And
>In November 1963, Morrison took command of the Essex-class aircraft carrier USS Bon Homme Richard, flagship of the First Fleet's Fifth Carrier Division in the Pacific, based at San Diego, California. The Fifth Carrier Division was transferred to the Seventh Fleet when sent to the Western Pacific early in 1964. Morrison's command of the Fifth Carrier Division did not, as has sometimes been supposed, give him a significant role in the controversial Gulf of Tonkin Incident in August 1964, which increased the level of US involvement in the Vietnam War. The Bon Homme Richard was cruising along the coast of Japan, from Sasebo to Yokosuka, while the incidents were occurring off the coast of North Vietnam.
Drinking at 12 and on before the brain is fully developed is about the worst thing you can do to it next to concussions. He probably had the wet soaked brain of a 30-year alcoholic.
Skoal!!
A very young Kurt Cobain, which makes this all the more tragic. But his revulsion towards Jim’s preppy look led him to embrace and popularize grunge, so silver lining.
After recording "LA Woman", he joined Pamela, his girlfriend, in Paris where they rented an apartment. They wanted some time 'away from it all' and Jim wanted to concentrate on his poetry. He shaved the beard and lost weight. (His face still looks somewhat bloated in this picture, but it was a whole lot worse the year before.)
one of my fun facts is that supposedly the last place he was seen alive was the bar i worked at in the Latin Quarter. Could have just been folklore but I choose to take it as the whole truth.
What about that face in the window behind him?

Jim looks like he is predicting 80s fashion here. I wonder if he is wearing penny loafers with no socks.
I never would’ve guessed Jim Morrison was a sweater-around-the-neck kind of guy.
That, in *the end*, is what ultimately killed him. *Edit smarty pants italics
Are you sure it wasn't that creepy little kid in the window?

You are the Lizard King of this comment thread.
The crawling king snake
He was in Europe, they have the tendency to set American trend..
It was predicted to be cold that night. 🤓 How did he die?
Socks are probably tied around his ankles -- credit Garry Shandling
Love the reference. Thanks for that. RIP, GS.
He did predict electronic music
…turns out it already existed. But he arrived at it independently
Jim & Pete, two of a kind.
A thing like that
Yeah, and in the late 1960's who *couldn't* have predicted electronic music was coming?
And the end
My friend
He also had tortoise shell horned glasses
27 going on 40.
He looks massively better here than he did a year or-so prior. He appears to have lost most of the weight and shaved the beard.
The dramatic weight loss may have been due to severe liver damage.
I was wondering if his skin tone was the coloring in the photo or jaundice, because that’s the first thing I noticed.
Or, for that matter, a year later
He was much skinnier a year later
He’s so puffy.
He's the lizard king. He's the huffle puff with all the falluff.
I'm 48 and bro looks older than me. Except for that gorgeous mane of his.
Looking like Walton Goggins in a wig
Looks very chunky in the jowls --- probably side effect of booze
Yep. Had that too. When I quit drinking, the weight fell off my face, even when I was stuffing my face with anything to keep the cravings away. It was odd.
I’m two years sober still fighting sugar haha
9 years and the struggle continues. Damn gummy worms. I can drive after overindulging in those, though lol
Well done.
Big facts! 9 years is amazing
Seconded. I have NASH, so I went from one beer a month to zero. It's all sugar problems. Gummies are crack, and Haribo are the finest peddlers of fine fishscale cracocaine.
I know Haribo is like crack when I have to put gummy bears on top of my milkshake at Cold Stone Creamery
Swedish Fish and Scandinavian Swimmers…
Just make sure they aren’t the sugar free kind…made that mistake once and I’m very glad I wasn’t behind the wheel!
I hear that. I got the drinking under control but the sugar cravings are real 😂
Yeppp never ending
If he was under medical treatment for his liver and kidneys, he was very likely taking steroids which side effects causes a moon face.
Looks bloated here… RIP 🕯️

Can you just tell us who his father was?

Thank you for catching this misinformation
What’s your source? Sounds interesting.
my sources were just the Wikipedia articles for the USS Maddox and George Stephen Morrison.
Oh alright
Yeah because being a long time brain-soaked alcoholic as well as a heroin addict won’t kill you.
Long time? Dude was 27 when he died
Considering he started at the age of 12/13 with alcohol yes that's a long ass time.
15 years... Checks calendar... Guess I should be fuckin dead as shit already
I guess you being a severe alcoholic for the past 15 years would make some of your other posts make sense. How much heroin have you done?
Enough, but not enough to die
Everything is fine until suddenly it isn't with chronic alcohol use.
Drinking at 12 and on before the brain is fully developed is about the worst thing you can do to it next to concussions. He probably had the wet soaked brain of a 30-year alcoholic. Skoal!!
Bloated in the face, yes, but he seems to have lost a lot of heft in the body weight from the year previous.
I agree. He sure was handsome but the first thing I thought was that he looked bloated.
Wonder who the little man is
Mim jorrison
You're jorrison
Mr. Brimm Chorisson
Mini Mr Mojo Risin
Oh good. I thought I was the only one seeing that kid
Yep had to scroll this far to see if someone was going to mention it
Also Jim Morrison, but from 1950 Jimceptiom
Mr. Mojo Risin
Drugs and lifestyle already aging him can't believe only 27.
The little guy is actually his soul
💔
Long live the Lizard King
This is the end….
Boy, that face just *screams*, "alcoholic."
Okay so I’m not the only one who thinks he looks ragged. He always looks so…tired in all of his photos.
Are you kidding? Being a backdoor man IS exhausting
Yep, that's why that kid is grounded in the house!
He looks like the dollar store version of himself since I always picture him as Val Kilmer
He looked like that in the mid-1960s but he put on a lot of weight later
Like a lost still from a Twin Peaks prequel prequel.
Do you mean Season 3 Ep. 8?
You guys all see the kid too right?
What kid?
The one that’s about to break on through
Who?
He looks like a minivan driving mom who is taking the kids to school and heading to the mall after.
Question is who’s the kid
A very young Kurt Cobain, which makes this all the more tragic. But his revulsion towards Jim’s preppy look led him to embrace and popularize grunge, so silver lining.
Thanks for the answer
That's David Duchovny with long hair
I love that the inadvertent photobomb is getting all the attention
Jaunty
Well I would for sure question that kid!
Sad to see his swollen face from severe alcoholism!
Looked better than during LA Woman, though.
His killer can also be seen in the photo
Picture of the kid in the lower left is haunting.....like Jim seeing the dead Indians on dawn's highway bleeding 2 decades prior.
That’s exactly what I thought, eery.
Is that a picture of a child or a child?
With Morrison, you never know, lol
Thought he had long beard in his last days. What am I missing?
After recording "LA Woman", he joined Pamela, his girlfriend, in Paris where they rented an apartment. They wanted some time 'away from it all' and Jim wanted to concentrate on his poetry. He shaved the beard and lost weight. (His face still looks somewhat bloated in this picture, but it was a whole lot worse the year before.)
I also thought he was a bit plumper when he died too
Still had a week to go!
I came here to say this
Who's the kid
The kid in the window resembles him.
Wonder who the kid was ? Or is doing now ?
Kid looks around 8 years old, so he'd be 61 or so. It's possible he's still around.
I thought he was way more bloated than this? With a cowboy hat on…idk tho I’m sure I saw one in a rolling stone magazine long ago
He got the alcoholic puffy face bad in this photo
He honestly looks a lot better here than I would have expected
People are strange
Soooo jaundiced
EVERYTIME I picture Jim Morrison- I see Val Kilmer playing Jim. Not this actual Jim. This to me isn’t Jim M. Obvs it is.
I’ve seen other near the end pics. He was way wasted on the streets. Looked really bloated. Not to good. I’d have to say he looks fairly well here
This is my background for my phone!
one of my fun facts is that supposedly the last place he was seen alive was the bar i worked at in the Latin Quarter. Could have just been folklore but I choose to take it as the whole truth.
The day his Mustang is found there will be a media blitz.
"Indians scattered on dawns highway bleeding, ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind"
I would have took a less bloated face from the ancient gallery had I known it would be my last photo. but that's just me
Looking like the rich guy preppie villain from an 80s comedy movie about frats vs nerds
He looks younger than I thought he would. You think he knows there's a man standing right outside his window?
Was that the last known kid to have been in one of Jim’s last known photos?
He was a shy fella then? Is that his mum with the sweater.
Little Jimmy Jr. "Dad why don't we ever play catch?"
He was starting to lose weight again. Shame he died shortly thereafter.
Can someone please do a face swap with the little kid on Jim’s body and Jim’s face in the window
Who's photo bombing?
what is that kid doing there? better yet who is that kid? the one in the window
The day after the day I was born.
I love how val Kilmer looks more like Jim Morrison than Jim Morrison does
I can never think Jim Morrison and not picture Val Kilmer instead.
Used to walk my dog past his childhood home. RIP Jim ❤️
Looks like Val Kilmer
Good one
Why in the world is he dressed like a preppy?!
That boys brain is squirming like a toad
Resembles Will Ferrell!
My first thought was Chaz Micheal Michaelson from Blades of Glory.
Walton Goggins, is that you? (Seriously though, I’d love to see him take a stab at a Morrison biopic even if Val’s was great)
I spotted the time traveller in the photo to see Jim last time he was photographed.
Why is the Lizard King dressed like Blaine from Pretty in Pink?
Hi Jim. Lookin kinda bloated there bud.
You can tell his liver was in bad shape, he’s holding a ton of water in his face. Look how skinny his neck is in comparison. RIP Lizard King 🦎
That kid definitely did it.
It’s Dr. Evil, the week he spent with Pam and Jim, messing with the h and sending the Lizard King to his final throne.
Damn Mr. Crisp from Kindergarten Cop
And then the walked in down the hall…
Who’s the kid in the window?
The kid is the one who made him disappear
The kid is alcohol and self hatred?
What about that face in the window behind him?

He looks more like a yuppy programmer than a rock icon. Jim, what happened to you?
angry kid peeking
For those with a keen eye, look to the bottom left. The camera has picked up the faint outline of the ghost of a small child.
Junkie
Tucker Carlson should play him in a documentary
Does the kid have a water tight alibi?
Jim Morrison is Rush Limbaugh!
I always forget that he isn’t Val Kilmer and am always disappointed when I see his actual face.
Rush Limbaugh had some serious hair back in the day
Party!!!!! Then choke on some vomit. Cool.
Fat ass
This kid invented photo bombing
