This Day In Rock History: April 25th
1974 Pamela Susan Courson, Jim Morrison's longtime companion, was found dead in her Hollywood apartment. She was 27 years old, the same age Morrison was when he passed away in 1971. The plaque where her ashes were interred at Fairhaven Memorial Park in Santa Ana, California reads "Pamela Susan Morrison 1946-1974", even though "Morrison" was never a part of Courson's legal name.
1992 Brian McLeod, guitarist and backing vocalist for Chilliwack, died of brain cancer at the age of 39. The Vancouver, Canada band is most often remembered for their 1981 hit, "My Girl (Gone, Gone Gone)".
