Marilyn Monroe

[Jazzy]

Marilyn Monroe died of barbiturate poisoning on 4th August 1962, aged 36. Her death was ruled a probable suicide. But do the facts bare this out? or is there another explanation?



The main conspiracy points of this incident are outlined below.



1) She committed suicide:

This is the official cause of death ('probable suicide').



However conspiracy lovers say that it is not consistent with forensic facts. She died, apparently, of a rectally administered barbiturate enema which, if true, could not have been administered by herself.



2) She died as a result of a simple accident:

Conspiracy lovers have a field day on this theory. This is why: Marilyn had two physicians (Dr. Ralph Greenson and Dr. Hyman Engelberg) both were attempting to get her off Nembutal, substituting chloral hydrate to help her sleep.



It is possible, the story goes, that the fatal enema was given to Marilyn by mistake as Dr Greenson (now dead himself, so cant respond) was not aware that Monroe had been taking Nembutal capsules during the day.



Dr. Engelberg was apparently having marital problems at the time which might explain why he didn't communicate his prescription details. Monroe, too, may not have realized that Nembutal would have a reaction against the chloral hydrate.



So, who administered the enema?



3) Marilyn Monroe was having an affair with John F Kennedy (and possibly Robert) and she was about to go public with what she knew. She was killed by 'government agents' to protect the president:



Marilyn knew a lot about JFK: his marital infidelities (at the time hushed up) and other private matters. She had his notes and letters and was privy to Kennedy's involvement with Sam Giancana, the mob leader. The Kennedy brothers had discussed national security matters with Monroe.



It is reasonable for the Kennedy administration to want to at least try to cover up the liason with Monroe, but did they?



4) Following on from 3) Robert Kennedy, the president's brother, went to see Monroe the night she died to tell her that President Kennedy did not want to see her anymore:



There are witnesses, including a policeman, who places Robert Kennedy in the area at the time of her death.



It is possible after this rejection her good mood, seen earlier in the day, changed and she killed herself.



5) Bobby Kennedy himself murdered Marilyn Monroe.



6) Marilyn was killed by the mafia as punishment to the Kennedy's for their attacks on them, and to expose Kennedy's philandering.

Topic question: In your opinion, who or what killed Marilyn?

 

[DrLeftover]

That Marilyn was murdered, either intentionally or unintentionally, isn't even a serious question. It was not a suicide.



When you get to the who done it side of things, it becomes a lot more interesting.



By the time of her death, while her career was still going well, her personal life was a mess, and it was starting to affect her films. She was all but incapable of working during the shooting of the Misfits, almost caused the director "some like it hot" to fire her and start over, and ended up in a psychiatric clinic for a laundry list of problems.



She was fired from her next picture Something's Got To Give for basically not showing up for work and ended up being sued by Twentieth Century for breach of contract.



By the summer of '62 Norma Jean was a basket case and something had to give indeed.
