An excellent and well written account of this georgeous woman's rise and fall. She is truely an icon and a legend. A beautiful tradegy in her own right.

What struck me most, were the accounts of her own remarks. These describe much pain, angst, loneliness, and feelings of exploitation and emptiness. Her own feeling that her life wasn't real. Profound Depression.

What happened to her remains a mystery to many. Some people firmly believe either the Kennedy's or those who protected them, had her killed.

I believe, also reluctantly, that it was a suicide, although there are many things that are not characteristic of a suicide, such as lack of vomiting,( or at least it was never mentioned in any of the documentation).

Many accidental overdoses, like Hendrix, and Joplin, passed out on their backs, and literally died from aspirating their own vomit. People who overdose and die on their stomach's appear to fare better.

But the Chloral Hydate alone...would have been enought to kill her quickly.
Isn't that what ultimately killed Anna Nicole Smith? Some correlations between the two women have been explored.

Thank you for this great read. I am fairly new to ATS, and look forward to reading your other theads on suspicious deaths and investigations.

Myth, you are very welcome. This will be one of those cases that people will never stop talking about and never stop theorizing on. It's right up there with the JFK assasination in many ways.....just because it was such a tragic event....and so very sudden.

ANother great thread full of dep investigation. I have to add a little something though. This is something I was told personally by some one I can not name.

I know that makes it sound kind of iffy at best. However, this is someone that claims to be close to all parties involved.

They stated that Marilyn was murdered. The murder hapened because she was involved in a "love triangle" that involved JFK, RFK, and Sam Giancana. There were rumors of her either being pregnant, having a baby, or having an abortion. It depended on who you were asking. There was a concentrated effort to keep it all quiet. However, it raised tensions between the Kennedy's and Giancana's even higher.

The Kennedy's were allready mad because of her associations with known communist. Giancana was mad because she was sleeping with people he considerred his enemy by that point. The Kenedys saw her as a political liability. The Giancana's seen her as a traitor especially if the maternity rumors where true.

So both sides decided she had to die. He never would state who ordered the death. All he would say is that he knew she was murderred out of misguided love and not hatred.

All I have is the words of someone I believe to be credible. After your investigation though, I think maybe it should be taken with a grain of salt.

As a side note. . .
This person stated there was even a short lived rumor that Marilyn Monroe actually had a child that was given up. I have never seen any evidence of this and never heard it reported anywhere. Just goes to show what kind of rumors can develop about people.

Editted to add that I made my post before reading the Tony Curtis comment above. That is the only other person I have heard mention a pregnancy.

No offense, but... puh-leez!
The woman was a walking OD just waiting to happen.

And how about motives? To those who suspect the Kennedys or the mob or whatever I have just one name to ask you about:

JUDITH CAMPBELL EXNER

And there's a lot more (names) where that came from.....!


J.C.E. really was a potential threat to JFK and/or the mob.
How come *she* wasn't offed?

she was murdered by intelligence, as wouldn't leave Kennedy alone, she wanted badly in to the white house and didn't follow 'advise'

Thank you for the posting, Myth. There were a number of things that I did not know. Her death was sort of the first of several prominent people of the 1960's, and each of them somehow sparked controversy which exists today.

she was the first Presidential Model MK Ultra (look it up if ur interested).. she went through unimaginable torments throughout her life.. its the work of evil we have in our world..

wake up ppl.. love and light..

I know this one guys....she simply took to much, on accident!!

Sorry, but there are so many factual errors in the OP, regarding both her life and the circumstances of her death, that it would take me ten pages to refute them all.

Marilyn Monroe did not kill herself. Suicides, accidental or otherwise, do not leave bloody handprints on the wall.
The 'official' facts of the case do not add up. It is physically impossible for her to have orally taken the amount of Nembutal and chloral hydrate (these are the drugs that killed her, not the Seconal), especially considering there was no access to water of any kind- there was no glass in her room and the plumbing in the bathroom had been shut off.

The story of the door being locked is an absolute fabrication ,there were no locks on the door. Cherie Redmond, MM's personal assistant, wrote in a letter to Hedda Rosten complaining about there not being a working lock in the house, and in fact, the Nunez family who bought the house after MM had to have locks installed.

Photos of Marilyn's body show that the body was moved, did not die 'facedown with the phone in her hand', but died on her back. The lividity proves this, and also proves that the time of death was altered, which corresponds with the testimony of the undertaker on scene who was ordered to alter his report to match the TOD given by her housekeeper and psychiatrist. They both changed their story several times.

The first officer on scene, Jack Clemmons, said that her room was neat as could be, that the body looked like it had been staged. He also attested that the 'official' photos had been staged. I have 'official' photos that show her nightstand littered with pill bottles.....and then I also have a 'before' photo that shows it with just one pill bottle....and a bottle of an injectable. I have a crime scene photo of a bloody handprint on her bedroom wall-obtained directly from the LAPD.

During the autopsy, all organ and tissue samples mysteriously disappeared. Funny that the psychiatrist was on the board of directors of the toxicology lab.......

I have photos and evidence to back up everything I say.
