According to sources with direct knowledge, she died in her sleep on Thursday, Oct. 29, after battling a long-term illness.
Paramedics were called to the couple’s Beverly Hills home just before noon for a possible cardiac arrest, but Lynn had already died by the time fire and police personnel arrived, according to the outlet. Law enforcement also received a call reporting a natural death. Her official cause of death has not been released.
Lynn’s story with Robby began at the height of The Doors’ fame. She met him and the rest of the band at a New York City nightclub in 1967, the same year the group broke through with “Light My Fire.” Written by Robby, the song spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became one of the defining songs of the decade.
