The doe-eyed bust that once adorned the grave of Jim Morrison, the lead singer with the Doors, went missing from Père Lachaise cemetery in Paris in 1988.

Now, some 37 years later, the marble sculpture has been located, in what prosecutors described as a "chance discovery."

Police in France said they had been carrying out a search related to fraud when they stumbled upon the statue. They announced their find on social media yesterday, along with a photo showing the bust looking largely unchanged: still covered in fan graffiti and still missing a chunk of its nose.
