However, lets be honest the evidence was examined and demonstarted a suicide by Monroes own hands. While we would like to connect dots to secret
government plots, the Kennedy's, hell even the maid. The evidnece itself states that she was not murdered, but killed by her own hand.....
I have been an admirer of Marilyn since I was a teenager and have read countless books, watched many documentaries, far too many to recount and I
agree with the conclusion of suicide, reluctantly though. I would have prefered that it was murder or an accident but all the evidence suggests to
the contrary.
I am not sure where I saw the theory presented, I suspect it may have been in the documentary 'Say Goodbye to the President' but am not sure, that
it was uncovered that prior to the official discovery of the body, that Marilyn was found unconscious, and was taken by ambulance to a private
hospital where she died while they were trying to resusitate her. She was then taken back to her bungalow and the scene of death was staged. The
photograph of her post autopsy, that was published in Anthony Summer's book, seems to confirm that she did not die lying face down. And I am sure
that the autopsy report also details that lividity is suggestive of her dying on her back. Additionally, I think that it is worthy of note that there
is no evidence of vomiting which is usual in oral overdoses.
There is also evidence that Bobby Kennedy was present in LA at the time of her death, and that he visited the bungalow on the night of her death.
Though that is not to say he was involved in her death, just that he may have had a vested interest in ensuring that certain personal effects were
recovered, like the Red Book for example. In the days immediately prior to her death, Marilyn made a number of calls to the Whitehouse, and again, I
am not 100% sure but I think the day before JFK instructed his staff not to put through her calls.
I also believe that she would have left a note.
While it is possible that Euinice Murray and Ralph Greenberg were attempting to preserve the goddess image by cleaning up the scene and presenting a
romantically tragic final image, I also believe that they both had their own secrets to conceal.
Also worth considering is Jack and Bobby's brother in law, Peter Lawford, described by Frank Sinatra as the Kennedy's pimp. His last wife has
intimated on a number of occasions how troubled Peter was by the events of that night, but whatever secrets he did have were first drowned in a bottle
and then taken to the grave, so a dead end. But it is probable to my mind that Lawford was present to field any suggestions that Bobby was in LA that
night.
Either way, very well put together thread, well done, enjoyed it immensely.
I have always been interested in this case for years you have provided a wonderful overview of all the
issues of Marilyn Monroe's death although once you really look at her emotional sate it's not that hard to believe she committed suicide.If it was
indeed foul play as much as it troubles me to say this I think RFK and Peter Lawford would be considered prime suspects.
Star for you.
