Who Is Jean de Breteuil? Marianne Faithfull Says Her Ex-Boyfriend Killed Jim Morrison [PHOTOS]

Style and music icon Marianne Faithfull says her former boyfriend, Jean de Breteuil, killed The Doors singer Jim Morrison, whose death in 1971 at age 27 has long been a mystery.

It is said that he used to buy hashish and opium from a Moroccan chauffeur of the French Ambassade in L.A.

Jean always stood beside Pam and he invited her many times in his houses all over the world, providing her with huge amounts of drugs.
