Mystery Of Marilyn Monroe's Death Unveiled?

Over the years, the cause of death of one of the most famous Hollywood celebrities Marilyn Monroe (Norma Jean Mortenson) remained a mystery. Most of the evidence and testimony obtained during the investigation has been destroyed or lost. But now, nearly half a century later, the world saw the new details of the actress’ death.

On August 5, 1962, Marilyn Monroe’s body was found in the bedroom of her home in Brentwood. According to the autopsy, the investigation came to the conclusion that the death was caused by an acute barbiturate poisoning. Monroe’s house was filled with listening devices, and surveillance was conducted on the day of her death. Witnesses said that a day earlier John and Bobby Kennedy came to visit her. There were screams and the sound of breaking glass, and a woman yelled: “Murderers! You are murderers! Are you satisfied now that she’s dead?” Then it was quiet. It is argued that it was Bobby Kennedy who silenced Monroe forever, strangling her with a pillow.

In fact, while over a hundred books have been written about the life and death of the woman who was likely the most notorious sex symbol of the 20th century, not one of them has been able to penetrate the mystery, or at least fill the gap about the last minutes of Monroe’s life.

According to eyewitnesses, August 4, 1962 was a pretty typical day in Marilyn’s life. Pat Newcomb, her press agent, recalled that Marilyn, apparently, did not sleep well and was a bit annoyed. Monroe spent most of her day with her psychiatrist, Dr. Ralph Greenson, who noted a distinct change in the state of the actress, and explained it with Nembutal (a barbiturate). In the evening Joe DiMaggio visited her to discuss termination of his engagement and their possible reunion.

At 4:25 am on Sunday, August 5, the Los Angeles Police received a call. The caller introduced himself as Dr. Hyman Engelberg, Marilyn’s personal physician. He said that the actress Marilyn Monroe committed suicide. When the police arrived at the house of the movie star, they found Marilyn’s naked body next to a bottle of sedatives. According to the description of the scene, she was lying face down, her face buried in a pillow, her arms stretched out along her body, the right arm slightly bent, her legs straight.

The investigation immediately suggested that she was put this way by someone, because, in spite of the general concept, an overdose of sleeping pills usually causes cramps in the victim’s leg and vomiting, and the position of the body is distorted. Witness evidence was very strange. They claimed that Marilyn’s body was found before four o’clock, but they could not go to the police until so permitted by the advertising department of the “20th Century Fox Film Corporation.”
