It is generally said that the cause of death of Marilyn Monroe on August 4th, 1962 was an sleeping pill overdose on her part and therefore a suicide. However, substantial evidence found at her house, in the guest bedroom, and in her personal bedroom where Marilyn Monroe allegedly committed suicide along with the fact that she was sexually involved with a lot of powerful people (and knew a lot of secrets of said powerful people) points to something more sinister. Which leads to the question, did Marilyn Monroe really commit suicide, or was her death made to only appear as if she did? And if so, who killed Marilyn Monroe and how did they kill her without being caught or punished? There are many theories that could possibly answer this question, but only the two most believed theories as to what really killed Marilyn Monroe are mentioned in this paper. One is that Robert Francis Kennedy, Peter Sydney Ernest Lawford (Robert Francis Kennedy’s brother-in-law), and Dr. Ralph Greenson …show more content…
Marilyn Monroe discovered them looking through files in her office and started to scream. Robert Francis Kennedy moved her to the unbugged guest cottage where he muffled her with a pillow to keep the neighbors from hearing as his two bodyguards gave her an injection of sedatives to calm her down. However, she did not remain calm for long. Robert Francis Kennedy’s bodyguards removed the clothes Marilyn Monroe was wearing and gave her an enema (the insertion of a liquid into the intestines or colon by way of the anus) filled with broken down pills containing anywhere between 13 to 19 nembutals and 17 chloral hydrates. They left sometime around 10:30 p.m. Her housekeeper, Mrs. Eunice Murray, went to check on Marilyn Monroe after hearing her dog, Maf, and his unending barking. (Daily
Robert Kennedy was determined to keep Monroe quiet so the information he and John revealed to her during their affairs would was not revealed, and he did not care about the consequences. According to Jay Margolis author of Marilyn Monroe: A Case for Murder, Robert was even reported to have threatened Monroe around the time of her death he stated that “If you threaten me, Marilyn, there’s more than one way to keep you quiet” (229), this proves that Robert Kennedy had motive and the means to kill her if it came down to it. The autopsy report also rules out suicide as an option for her cause of death. The report stated that there were no traces of the pills in her stomach she supposedly overdosed and there was nothing to drink in the room, with no signs of vomiting which is common during an overdose. This also eliminates the fact that she accidentally overdosed as an option because the levels of drugs found in her blood were several times over the legal limit. This suggests that she did not give herself that many pills because she would have passed out before she could have ingested that much. Monroe’s autopsy report revealed that her stomach was almost completely empty except for a small amount of fluid (“Marilyn Monroe Autopsy Report”). The report also revealed that there was no evidence of pill residue anywhere in her digestive system and the fact that there was no physical evidence in the room that any pills had been ingested, prove that Monroe did not commit suicide but she was actually
The death of a person could be caused by a number of reasons. In Kennedy’s case, it could have been his inadequacy of war ravenousness or in some American eyes, the Soviets (“JFK Assassination”). The egregious and legal cause of death for this great man was that a man named Lee Harvey Oswald. Oswald was discharged from the U.S. Marines, so he had been trained in learning to use a rifle (“Kennedy Assassinated”). It was said that Oswald killed Kennedy from the sixth floor window of Texas school book depository. The evidence shows that Oswald used a 6.5 mm Carcano...
There are many clues to lead to the fact she took her own life. I found it interesting Bobbie Ann Mason gave the character the name Norma Jean. Norma Jean was also the real name of Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn Monroe’s depression and inability to find lasting happiness resulted in psychological disorders with the end result of her taking her own life.
Due to Robert Kennedy being in town on the day that Marilyn died, suspicions arose that after one of Marilyn and Robert’s affair happened that night, Marilyn overdosed and was rushed to the hospital. In the ambulance ride, Marilyn passed away and Robert Kennedy took her back to her home and proceeded to cover it up as a suicide in order to hide the affair. In other words, “Summers claims Monroe accidentally OD’d, but died in an ambulance on the way to the hospital, so her body was returned to her home where Lawford, Kennedy, and FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover staged her death as a suicide”
A beautiful body,empty pill bottles, phone in hand, an icon of remembrance, an influential leader, and a woman with a record of trying to commit suicide. How did Marilyn Monroe (aka Norma Jean) DIE? What ever happened to Marilyn Monroe? The most likely reason is murder. “An overwhelming amount of conspiracy theorists believes the Kennedy's murdered Monroe, or that the Kennedy's at least had a hand in her death.” stated by ibtimes.com.
On November 22, 1963, at 12:30 in the afternoon, President John F. Kennedy was shot at and killed while participating in a motorcade in Dallas, Texas. The most important question that arises from this incident is ‘Who killed President John F. Kennedy?’ This is an issue which has been debated by scholars, The Government, and even common people alike. Many people seem to feel that it was a conspiracy, some large cover-up within a cover-up.
There are many other theories about the assassination of President Kennedy. One of these is the Lone Gunman theory give by the Warren Commission. This stated:
At 12:30 P.M., JFK's convertible drove past the Texas Bookstore Depository and onto Elm Street, where to the right was the grassy knoll. In that same spot, the grassy knoll, Abraham Zapruder had his 8mm camera, recording an event that would drastically change history (Fertzer 65-72). The first shot missed the convertible completely. The second shot hit the President in the upper right back and exited through his neck, continuing on to Governor Connelly's back, through his chest, and hitting his wrist upon exiting. The third shot struck JFK in the head killing him instantly. At 1:50 P.M. Lee Harvey Oswald was taken into custody after resisting arrest and killing officer J.D. Tippit (North 2...
Marilyn Monroe (Monroe) was an image of fashion and beauty in the 20th century. Overcoming a traumatic childhood to become one of the most confident women. Making bold provocative, but, fashionable statements about how women should be confident about their own body image. Without the help of others, she would not have become the person she is known as today. Marilyn Monroe, a famous actress, who has influenced the rest of the world.
The first theory is that the Vice/soon to be President Lyndon B Johnson did it. One of the many reasons was that Johnson, and Kennedy were huge political rivals, and rivals period. There is also a statement Johnson said to his mistress a few days before the killing: “Those SOBS will never embarrass me again.That’s not a threat. That’s a promise”. He even would refer JFK as the Irish Mafia.Then the next morning he showed no care at all to the grieving family as he ordered all of JFK’s possessions, and family out of the White House. Also one of the many thoughts of why JFK would be killed by the government is due to him taking troops out of Vietnam. After JFK’s death Johnson put them back in. Lastly, eyewitnesses say that right before the shooting Johnson ducked down. Could something have convinced this man to kill, was it his own idea, or was it the CIA’s idea?
Her maid was completely unaware of the incident and got suspicious when she witnessed that Marilyn’s bedroom lights were left on all night. She called the police and shortly after they arrived, she called Ralph Greenson, who on arrival, couldn't bust down her bedroom door. He snuck through the backyard and broke her window. He found Marilyn dead, lying in her bed. They removed her body and debated that her time of death was approximately between 9:30-11:00 that night. They later stated in the paper that her death was a ‘probable suicide’. Her date of death was August 5, 1962, in Los Angeles, California, her home city. Following her death, she became one of the most celebrated of all actresses.
Since November 23, 1963, the day after President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated, there have been speculations as to the happenings of November 22, 1963. Along with the Warren Commission, there are hundreds of conspiracies and theories attempting to explain the assassination of Kennedy. Many people agree with the Warren Commission in that Lee Harvey Oswald acted as the lone gunman, while others maintain that another gunman was involved. Because of extensive evidence, I believe that Oswald did not act alone on November 22, 1963 in the assassination of Kennedy. The additional gunman was strategically placed in the grassy knoll area, in order to shoot at Kennedy from a frontal view (Rubinstein 4).
