Jim Morrison, lead singer of the 1960s band The Doors, was one of rock history's most influential but controversial cult icons. His mesmerising lyrics and vocals earned him critical acclaim and drew the admiration of an army of fans as his outrageous drink and drug fuelled behaviour, on and off stage, established his reputation as a rebel and trouble-maker. A biographer described him as 'an angel in grace and a dog in heat'. On the third of July 1971 Jim Morrison was found dead in the bathtub of his Paris apartment. He was aged just 27. The official cause was given as heart failure but many have dismissed this finding as a 'fairy tale' and his death still inspires rumour and conspiracy theory. Medical examiner Dr Michael Hunter re-opens the file: 'Jim Morrison's death is shrouded in mystery, But with the evidence I've gathered along with my own experience unravelling cause of death I think I can finally explain how he died.'

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most important thing you should know about history?
There isn't an easy answer to this question. Learning is about three things. The first is to realize that knowledge can be power. Second, knowledge can be cumulative. The third is to be aware of how quickly knowledge can change.
Knowledge is power. Because it empowers people to make better decisions. If we had complete information, we wouldn't have any difficulty making decisions. We'd do what we want, without worrying about whether it was correct or not.
Knowledge, although it is power, is also cumulative. This means that after we've acquired knowledge, we continue to learn more. We become more and more intelligent as time goes by. Knowledge accumulates.
Let's now turn our attention to the third. While knowledge is cumulative, it doesn't stay static for very long. In fact, knowledge is constantly changing. Scientists are constantly discovering new facts, theories, or ways to think. Every day, scientists discover new facts and theories.
Our culture is particularly dependent upon technology which allows us to access knowledge instantly. Technology makes it possible to store vast amounts of data in digital form and share it among millions of people worldwide.
Globalization has transformed the way we see technology and knowledge. Globalization is the process of ideas and products spreading across borders. Knowledge is now easily accessible all over the world because of globalization.
The internet enables anyone to access information anywhere in the world. Everybody can read books and watch movies. They can also listen to music, play games, or surf the internet. All these activities require knowledge.
Information is becoming more accessible and more specialized. You can find thousands of websites that offer advice on subjects such as finance, health, business, sports, and travel. These sites offer information on nearly every topic possible.
There are likely to be only a few websites offering automotive-related products or services if you try to search the internet for a car. There are many sites that cover every topic, but you will only find a few websites that focus on cars.
Experts in specific fields are able to create and share valuable knowledge. Experts often have deep knowledge of a field. Experts are also capable of producing high-quality content targeted at their audience.
This is great news for consumers as they no longer have to search through a lot of useless information. Instead, they can rely on a limited number of websites that offer lots of valuable content.
Experts also have the advantage of specialization. They can build strong businesses around this expertise. He expects the author of a book to have a thorough knowledge of his subject to provide a clear and concise explanation. He wants to know that the author has understood his message.
Experts who do not specialize risk losing potential customers.
There are many areas of expertise. Many of us today are specialists in many areas. One might be an accountant, lawyer, doctor, teacher, or other specialist. We are also likely to be parents, spouses and friends.
Experts agree that it is impossible to succeed in one area without being skilled in another.
So, how do you become a specialist in multiple areas? The answer is simple: practice. It takes practice to master a skill. As you make progress, you must keep going until you are recognized as an expert.
There are whole industries dedicated to helping others reach this goal. You can learn how to quickly acquire knowledge through workshops, seminars, conferences and schools.
What are the three most important lessons from history?
There are numerous examples throughout history that demonstrate how we can learn and improve from our mistakes. We can apply them to today's business challenges and turn them into opportunities for growth.
The past teaches us that there is always another way to do things. You will always find someone who thinks outside of the box and takes chances that make them stand out.
History also shows us that it's often the underdogs who succeed. So when you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or even lost, look back to those times when the underdog won.
Look to the past and find ways to bring the lessons forward into the future. Learn from the failures and successes of others.
These lessons will help improve your success rate.
What can we learn from history to avoid repeating past errors?
Because we make the same mistakes over and over again, history repeats itself. We fail to learn from our mistakes. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle for mediocrity.
History repeats itself because we believe the same old stories. Our culture has conditioned us to believe there is an immutable law and a fixed truth. They cannot be changed.
This prevents us thinking critically. To question authority. Challenge assumptions. When we do not question, we stagnate. When we don't learn, we stagnate. We repeat the same mistakes when we stagnate.
But history isn't the same because we continue making the same mistakes. History repeats itself because we refuse to learn from our mistakes and instead continue to make the same ones over and over.
You can break the cycle of history repetition by changing how you look at the world and yourself, by understanding that nothing is set in stone. Nothing is fixed. Everything is constantly changing.
The key to breaking the cycle of uncertainty is acceptance. To accept that things could go wrong. Accept that failure is possible. Accept that failure is possible.
Accept that you may not achieve your goals. Acceptance of this fact is okay. But, don't let it stop you from striving to improve.
Holding on to the past will keep you stuck. If you believe there are only certain truths, it will be impossible to move forward.
You must let go if you want to be free. You must let go of control if you want to move forward.
What can we learn by Abraham Lincoln's example?
Abraham Lincoln once said, "I am slow learning; very quick forgetting."
He understood the importance of learning and knew that he would eventually need to let go of old habits in order to embrace new ones.
The same goes for businesses. No matter how much we plan for success in the future, there will always be times when we are unable to move forward and end up stuck in a rut.
It is crucial to continue to learn and grow. We must never stop learning, even after reaching the top of our success.
Lincoln was a good example of the right attitude. Lincoln understood that he could be more efficient in his business but that he couldn't quit learning.
There are two types: entrepreneurs. They are those who are busy and those that stay smart.
People who are always busy work solely to grow their businesses. They spend their time on product development and marketing, as well as customer service.
While they may feel they have accomplished something worthwhile, many times they don't. Unless these entrepreneurs are also focused on staying smarter, they won't achieve sustainable growth.
What sets successful entrepreneurs apart from ordinary ones? The ability to adapt quickly and to change circumstances.
Entrepreneurs are successful because they look for ways of improving their products and services in the face of challenges.
The average businessperson, however, will continue to use outdated methods that don't work. They will not change their ways until they fail.
For success, you need to be skilled in both adaptation and self-reflection.

How To
Accidental Inventions Lead to Penicillin Discovery
How did penicillin ever become available?
Penicillin was discovered accidentally when Alexander Fleming noticed mold growing on some bacteria cultures he had left out. He believed that the mold could kill the bacteria so he searched for something to destroy it.
Penicillin was found to kill the mold. He then realized that this new drug could also be used against bacteria. Penicillin was one the greatest medical breakthroughs. It saved millions of people's lives and revolutionized medicine.
Alexander Fleming was unaware at first of the importance of his finding. No one else knew the same. Penicillin would soon be a powerful antibiotic.
Scientists discovered penicillin could be used to treat bacterial infections, but this was not until after World War II. The U.S. Army asked Dr. Fleming in 1945 if penicillin could be used to treat soldiers with wounds infected by deadly germs. Dr. Fleming agreed to try.
Penicillin proved to be effective against many kinds of infections. Penicillin was an invaluable lifesaver for wounded soldiers in World War II. It saved many lives and helped doctors continue their work after the war.
Dr. Fleming was not prepared for his discovery to have such profound effects. He wanted to make sure mold wouldn't grow on bacteria cultures that he had previously studied. But he couldn’t imagine how this simple experiment could lead to a remarkable medical breakthrough.
It's not surprising that many of the discoveries we make every day don’t amount to anything extraordinary. They are simply experiments made for no reason.
If you look back at history, you will see that even seemingly insignificant experiments can make a huge difference.
It is often the most important discovery that seems to have no commonality. Like the discovery of penicillin. Or photography. Or electricity. Or even computers.
Invention does not happen simply because someone thinks up a brilliant idea. It happens because someone has a problem. Then they experiment to solve their problem.
