While on sabbatical in France, The Doors' lead singer, Jim Morrison died of heart failure and acute respiratory distress. News of his death wasn't made public until after his burial in a Paris cemetery on July 9th. Interviewer Gary James would later speak to Morrison's brother-in-law Alan Graham about the circumstances surrounding the singer's death.

I actually had to go and check it out to confirm before posting and apparently there was no law in France that required an autopsy to determine the cause of death
