Po vydaní úspešného albumu L. A. Woman sa Jim Morrison dostal z drogovej a alkoholovej závislosti. Neskôr odišiel na oddych do Paríža, kde mal v pláne sa sústrediť na písanie poézie. Našli ho ale mŕtveho v jeho hotelovej izbe vo vani dňa 3. Júla 1971. Mal len 27 rokov, čím sa stal ďalším členom nechválne známeho Klubu 27. Hoci nebola spravená pitva, ako príčina smrti bol napísaný infarkt. Jeho smrť tým pádom dodnes nie je jednoznačne vysvetlená a vznikajú okolo nej rôzne teórie. a b Crosby, David; Gottlieb, Carl (2005). Long Time Gone: The Autobiography of David Crosby.

In letters to friends, he described going for long walks through the city alone. [95] During this time, he shaved his beard and lost some of the weight he had gained in the previous months. [96] He also telephoned John Densmore to ask him how L.A. Woman was doing commercially; he was the last band member to ever speak with him.
