Answer 2

Sometime after 10 p.m. on August 4, 1962, Marilyn Monroe slipped into a coma caused by an overdose of sleeping pills. She would never regain consciousness. Shortly after she was discovered, a bizarre set of activities took place in her Brentwood home at 12305 Fifth Helena Drive. Some items were allegedly removed, including a diary and an incriminating note which could have far-reaching implications, if discovered. The order for their removal was believed to have come from someone in the White House, in an attempt to prevent a scandal from toppling the presidency of John F. Kennedy.

Many witnesses said they observed Marilyn being secretly taken that night by an ambulance crew to a nearby hospital before being returned again to her Brentwood home in Los Angeles. Forever steeped in mystery are the exact events that took place on the night that one of the world's leading sex symbols and movie legends died. According to some accounts, Marilyn's body was rediscovered by her house companion, Eunice Murray, and her psychiatrist, Dr. Greenson, several hours following the initial discovery of her remains.

Greenson would later tell police that Murray alerted him around 3:30 a.m. that something might be wrong with Marilyn, the morning following Marilyn's death. When he arrived at Marilyn's home, he broke into her bedroom and found her lying nude and face down in her bed. She was clutching a phone in her right hand. After a brief examination he determined that she was dead.

Exactly how and when Marilyn Monroe died sparked a debate that would last more than 40 years and generate many theories, including that of murder. Some of these theories even implicated John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert in the mysterious death.

Death and aftermath

Main article: Death of Marilyn Monroe

Monroe's last home was in Brentwood, California, at 12305 5th Helena Drive. She was found dead by her housekeeper on August 5, 1962. Her death was ruled as an overdose of the sleeping pill Nembutal. Several conspiracy theories have surfaced in the decades after her death, some involving President John F. Kennedy and/or Robert Kennedy. There is also speculation that her death was accidental, but the official cause of death was "probable suicide" by acute barbiturate poisoning.

On August 8, 1962, Monroe was interred in a crypt at Corridor of Memories, #24, at the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles, California. Lee Strasberg delivered the eulogy.

Answer 5

Officially was ruled as an accidental over dose of sleeping pills. But a lot of people believe she was assassinated on orders from either John F. Kennedy or Bobby Kennedy because she had become a threat to them. She knew too much about their dealing with the Mafia and had even acted as messager between Mafia and the Kennedy's before the Kennedy's double crossed the Mafia.

Answer 6

Well there's two versions. The general public and new media said she die by taking too many sleeping pills and committed suicide. Then there's others like me who believe that John F. Kennedy and his brother Bobby Kennedy had her killed. She had an affair with each brother and of course a Kennedy's rep can't be soiled.

Answer 7

Marilyn was starting to get a little vocal; back in those days, the president snuck in woman and everyone knew about it and didn't disclose it (unlike Bill Clinton) ; seems that everyone was in her room shortly after her death? president's brother in law etc; ; delay in calling authorities ; typical government coverup ; suicide on paper; silencing the witness to some.

Answer 8

Overdose. Sleeping pills I believe.

Answer 9

It was an overdose. But I watched a documental about her life on Discovery Chanel and they said that there was the posibility that somebody murdered her, but at the end they denied it.

Answer 10

She was killed via an injection because she was deemed a threat to certain politicians, notably RFK who had an affair with her, she allegedly threatened to go public.
