According to a former employee at the famed Rock 'n' Roll Circus club in Paris, Doors frontman Jim Morrison died in a toilet. It's generally accepted the singer died from a heroin overdose in his apartment bathtub, but former Circus manager Sam Bennett says he passed away in the toilet of the infamous nightclub. The 62-year-old says the singer's death was covered up to avoid police investigating drug activity at the venue. "The club was full of dealers," Bennett said. "Jim disappeared to the lavatories at around 2am. Then, about half-an-hour later, a cloakroom attendant came up to me and told me someone was locked in a cubicle and wasn't coming out. It was then I got a bouncer to smash the door down. I recognised the US Army combat jacket and the riding boots, which he never took off. It was Jim Morrison." France's national police say they will investigate the new claims.
