I've  referred many books, websites, documentaries to know about the actual facts about Marilyn's Death but there are so many stories that it's really hard to believe on them. But few of them are a bit close to reality with proven facts. Here are few of them......

At 4:25 a.m. on August 5, 1962, Seargent Jack Clemmons of the West Los Angeles Police Department recieved a call from Dr.Hyman Engelberg. "I am calling from the house of Marilyn Monroe," he said. "She is dead."

" Donald Wolfe quotes Clemmons: "'She was lying facedown in what I call the soldier's position. Her face was in a pillow, her arms were by her side, her right arm was slightly bent. Her legs were stretched out perfectly straight.'"

Mysterious questions surround her death that happened in 1962. No one will ever know why or how she died. They say it was a drug overdose, however many believe she was a homicide victim. There were many questions to be asked, which are still being asked today.

Investigations were long and many people had stories of their own to tell. However some stories were lies as they were always changed or contradicted, especially Eunice Murray's stories (Marilyn's housekeeper).

Through out the weeks after her death, things looked glim. Marilyn's file of case #82118 was always changing. Bits of her file went missing, reports were changed dramatically (the autopsy report), belongings disappeared and crucial evidence was taken and never seen again.

Many mysterious events still lerk. Why was Marilyn taken to a different morgue than the one she was supposed to go to for examination? Who was she calling on her last night? Why was Marilyn so frightened? Why were her two phones engaged? Why was the prescription such a high dosage?

Evidence proves that Marilyn did not commit suicide. Even though her past notes indicated that she did try and commit suicide on at least three occasions, this was different. As Noguchi (examiner) said there were unexplained bruises on her body and there were no signs of drugs in certain organs.

The same examinations if performed today with much more sophistication, proves that Marilyn would have died of 35% of intoxication and the rest of the 65% of drugs would still be visible in her body (remembering that Dr Noguchi found no trace of drugs). There was no way of her swallowing all of it at one time and then dying. Somehow the rest of the percentile would have had to be administered into her another way.


No one will really ever know what really happened, in the end it's up to everyone to believe what they want.

Evidence that Ms Monroe was murdered
1) Norman Jefferies (Eunice Murray’s son in law) was present while all events leading to Marliyn’s death happened. Eunice Murray was Marilyn’s housekeeper.
2) Noguchi (morgue examiner), said that since there was such a massive amount of pentobartial and chloral hydrate in Marilyn’s blood, he ruled out the possiblility of suicide. The high blood level are totally consistent wit the "hot shot" injections leading to a quick death.
3) Marilyn showed signs of cyanosis- rapid death. Her lack of oxygen and bluish skin colour and the dark fingernails.
4) Eunice confirmed that Bobby Kennedy was in LA on August 4, 1962.

August 4th:
In the evening, Joe Di Maggio JR calls Marilyn. He later reports that she sounded very normal and gay on the phone. Many say that Marilyn and Joe had planned to remarry on August 8th. Marilyn's letters to her sister Berniece, confirm the fact. But instead of getting married, Marilyn is found dead sometime between the evening of 4/5 August. Some of her words a few days before she died:" I feel I'm just beginning. I want to do all kinds of films: comedy, romance, tragedy. After all, without a challenge, what is there to life?", "As far as I'm concerned, the happiest time of my life is now. There's a future and I can't wait to get to it. It should be so interesting!","Let's all start to live before we get old!".

Events leading to her death
Pat Newcomb had had an argument with Marilyn that afternoon on August 4th, 1962. She was angry at her because she got to sleep and Marilyn didn’t. Even though she ordered Pat to leave her house, Pat stayed on.

Marilyn also had an argument with housekeeper Eunice Murray. She was told to pack her things. Eunice however stayed on with son in law Norman Jefferies.

Early in the afternoon, Bobby and Peter Lawford came to the house to talk to Marilyn.

Soon afterwards they left and Marilyn was hystercial. Eunice then called Dr Greenson to come and help Marilyn. Dr Greenson soon arrived at 4:30pm.

Marilyn had told Dr Greenson that she had had a violent argument with Bobby earlier on that day. She said that he threatened her and pushed her to the floor demanding to know where "it" was. ("it") is maybe referred to the red diary she kept in her locked up cupboard).

Dr Greenson soon left the scene at 7pm when Marilyn had calmed down.

About 9:30pm Marilyn talks to a friend on the telephone- Jose Bolanos. She was quite calm at the time.

Shortly after, around 10pm, three men came to Marilyn’s house. They told Eunice and Norman to leave and wait outside.

At 10:30pm, Marilyn calls Peter Lawford who was having a dinner party. All of a sudden Marilyn goes into unconsciousness- the three men leave.

Eunice and Norman then went inside and opened the guest house’s door- Marilyn was found faced down on the bed holding the telephone. Jefferies recalls that he thought she was dead.

Eunice calls the ambulance and Dr Greenson.

Marilyn is still alive when the ambulance arrives. They start CPR. Not long after Dr Greenson arrived and performs his own procedure (pumping/ injecting adrenalin in the heart was a common practice in the 1960s)

Marilyn dies at 10:30pm, Saturday 4th August 1962.

At this time Pat Newcomb became hystercial. Eunice and Norman, who were sitting in the living room, realised what just happened. The most famous woman had died.

Around midnight, Marilyn’s doctor, Dr Endelberg, came and moved Marilyn’s body for the guest cottage to her bedroom.

When all officials came to the scene later Sunday morning (August 5th, 1962) they interviewed witnesses and took statements. Some officials disappeared.

The Disappearance of Officials
There were many officials that night, including the officials that came to the house earlier that night.

Later on it was discovered that the three men who entered Marilyn’s house that night were Bobby Kennedy and his two detectives.

The Verdict
Marilyn was a homicide victim. It was premeditated homicide. Bobby Kennedy killed Marilyn with a "hot shot" injection- enough to kill 15 people.

NEW FOUND EVIDENCE THAT MM WAS A HOMICIDE VICTIM
A swiss Specialist discovered that the only way she could have died was by enema. There was so much damage to her colon and no residue in her stomach, that it proves that somehow she was given an enema. The pills that she took during her life contained a yellow substance. If she had orally taken the pills that night, all the 13% of yellow residue would be present in her stomach at the time of the autopsy- there was none! The other detail was that there was no water to enable MM to swallow such an amount of pills at one time, over a period of time.

There also was no suicide note. According to George Barris, MM was very happy and was looking forward to her future and career enhancements.

Following the autopsy, Marilyn's body was released to her family. Marilyn's mother, who was institutionalized, did not take custody of the body. Instead, Joe DiMaggio claimed her remains and arranged a small and quiet funeral for the woman he continued to love up until her death. Finally on August 8, 1962, she was laid to rest in Los Angeles' Westwood Memorial Park in the Corridor of Memories. On that day, thousands lined the streets and grieved for their icon and the world's movie legend, Marilyn Monroe.  Marilyn's funeral  last journey...

The "broom closet" incident was true. An official at the time took two exclusive photographs of her body in the closet. In an interview titled: MM: The Ultimate Investigation, the ex official showed these pictures to the camera. During this TV program, more startling news was given. Tapes were played that had secret conversations never heard before and it also had telling evidence that was no heard over all these years. Good Bye Norma Jean loneliness and pain is the price you paid!!

It just shows more and more that Marilyn was a victim.

Marilyn once wrote in a letter, never mailed to Joe Dimaggio. That her life had been so disordered, with so many rehearsals for death, that it came as a shock but not a total surprise when she was found dead of an overdose early one Sunday morning. There was later speculation that Marilyn had been victim of murder. But the physician who pronounced Marilyn dead, Dr Hyman Engelberg, said  "There was no question the actress had taken her own life. The love goddess was dead, ironically, for lack of love"

All the controversies and stories apart there is one simple truth that it's been 46 years  Norma Jean Baker aka Marilyn Monroe was simply taken away from all of us by the cruel hands of time and she can't be back but her memories, sweetness, beauty and uniqueness will always remain alive in our hearts. According to me we should always try to make her alive in our hearts through ages. Today on her 80th Birthday June,1st let's Pray for her soul to rest in peace always.  ~~~Sam~~~
