Everybody knows the famous pic of Elvis’ corpse, but almost all of the sources I looked for say that only the coroner saw Jim Morrison’s dead body.

I don’t want to delve into the Urban Legend area and say that The Lizard Kind is alive and well; what I want to know is if there is some document, or picture of the corpse, proving that the Door’s lead singer is really dead.

What kind of proof are you looking for? Of course a picture of a body, or a death certificate can be faked.

Thanks for the info. And about “what kind of proof”, well, a good documentation is more than enough. I’m not interested in digging his grave to find out :D.
