Ever heard of Sam Bernett? Of course you haven't! But Bernett claims to have been a close, personal friend of Jim Morrison's, and—as such—says he knows the truth about the Doors frontman's death.

Lucky for us, Morrison's old buddy is not only ready to tell all (thanks, in no small part, to a sweet book deal) but is also quick to debunk that whole "Died of Natural Causes in the Bathtub" myth.

Yep, according to Bernett (a.k.a. Jim's former bestie) Morrison actually sustained a massive heroin overdose at the Rock 'n' Roll Circus, however his body was subsequently moved to his apartment as part of an elaborate drug cover-up.

And Bernett isn't shy about the gruesome details.

In his book, he writes: "I recognised the US Army combat jacket and the riding boots from the Camargue region of France which he never took off. It was Jim Morrison, with his head between his knees, his arms dangling.

"For a few seconds our eyes were glued to the unmoving corpse. We were mesmerised by the baffling spectacle.

"The flamboyant singer of The Doors, the cool and good-looking Californian guy, was now a collapsed and inert lump lying in a nightclub toilet.

Hear that? Thirty six years ago, Jimbo may or may not have died on the toilet! Which is way crazier than that official story that had him kicking the bucket in a bathtub. Sadly, however, anyone who could potentially verify Bernett's claims has long since died, leaving readers of the The Mail (UK) commenters to judge the authenticity of these somewhat belated claims.

"Oh dear," writes Abigal. "Here we go again! another conspiracy about Jim Morrison. does it really matter? it was 36 years ago. he was a huge talent who gave us some fantastic music but he's gone. his life ended to (sic) soon i know but it ended, so why does it have to be dragged up again just because some old french bloke wants his 15 minutes of fame!"

When reached for comment, the old French bloke replied to Abigal by explaining, "Aux grands maux les grands remèdes," then added, "Besides, I needed the money."
