On Friday, May 16, police in Paris, France, recovered the long-lost stone bust of the late Doors singer Jim Morrison, who tragically died in Paris in 1971 at the age of 27.
"During an investigation conducted by the Financial and Anti-Corruption Brigade of the Directorate of Judicial Police of the Prefecture of Police, under the authority of the Paris Public Prosecutor's Office, this iconic symbol for the singer's fans was recovered."

Benoit Gallot, curator of the Père-Lachaise cemetery where Morrison is buried, told Le Figaro that he is unsure if the sculpture will be returned to the gravestone.
"It is to Père-Lachaise what the Mona Lisa is to the Louvre," said Gallot.
The Doors' surviving members John Densmore (drums and backing vocals) and Robby Krieger (guitar, lead and backing vocals) recently reflected on Morrison's death in an interview with Louder Sound, saying that the whole situation was heartbreaking.
The cause of death was listed as heart failure, and Bill Siddons, The Doors' manager, told Rolling Stone at the time that there might have been a possible lung infection because Morrison had been coughing up blood in the days leading up to his death.
