A stolen grave found in France 37 years later

Jim Morrison's grave is located in the famous Père-Lachaise cemetery in Paris and has long attracted fans of rock bands.

According to French police, Jim Morrison's memorial bust was stolen from his grave 37 years ago.

It said in an Instagram article that the door statue was found in Paris in an investigation conducted by its finance and anti-corruption department, which had nothing to do with the original theft.

Morrison's grave has long been a tribute in unusual ways by fans of rock bands - graffiti is doodled around the corner of the poet's famous père-lachaise cemetery, which also houses the graves of Edith Piaf and Oscar Wilde.

There is little information about the investigation, and no suspects were named in the burglary of the singer statue that died in 1971.

Sources close to the investigation told the news agency that in France-France-Presse, police found out while investigating the fraud.

It is not clear whether the bust will be put back on the grave, and the cemetery curator told Lefigaro: "The police did not contact us, so I don't know if the bust will be returned to us."

Croatian artist Mladen Mikulin carved the statue from White Marble to mark the 10th anniversary of the singer's death. But it disappeared in 1988, when the bust was placed on the site seven years later.

A photo released by French police shows the statue's mouth and nose missing, just like before it was stolen.

In 1988, the bust disappeared from the grave, seven years after the 10th anniversary of his death.
