Top 4 Theories About Marilyn Monroe's Death

4 min read

How did Marilyn Monroe die?

First of all Considered a "probable suicide," questions about a mysterious bruise and lack of evidence grew to the point that the investigation was reopened in 1982.

Here are the 4 major theories about Marilyn Monroe's death:

  • Organized crime
  • A fatal injection
  • A premeditated death
  • A mystery


1. Organized crime

Perhaps the most famous theory is that Robert Kennedy orchestrated Monroe's death. As her ex-boyfriend, Russo explained that the Mafia and Chicago crime boss Sam Giancana were after the actress to get to the president. The plan was to film the two and Robert Kennedy having a threesome and blackmail the president into handing over his casinos to the Mafia.

When Monroe learned of the plot, she allegedly threatened to expose those involved to the media. Robert Kennedy then had her killed to cover up the whole affair.

2. The fatal injection

Other theorists agree that his death was likely caused by a fatal injection - supported by the absence of any trace of capsules in his body and a mysterious bruise on his lower body.

3. The strange testament

There was also the matter of her will and a countless number of mysterious documents that were bagged and removed by her business manager, Inez Melson, within 48 hours of Monroe's death. All of this was done while police were taking statements.


The actress's will, meanwhile, was filed on August 16 and established a $100,000 trust. This entitled her mother to receive $5,000 a year, her drama teacher's widow $2,500 a year, her half-sister $10,000, her former secretary $10,000, and playwright Norman Rosten $5,000.

While none of these generous donations were out of the ordinary, one final point was rather curious. Monroe reportedly felt that her New York psychiatrist, Dr. Marianne Kris—who had forcibly incarcerated her in a cell—deserved 25% of her estate.

4. A suspended purpose

Ultimately, we may never know for sure how Marilyn Monroe died, but one thing we can assure you is that this brilliant and talented young woman realized his dreams by also becoming a real myth of female beauty .

THE CRAZY STORY OF MARILYN MONRORE

Marilyn was a global icon at a time when that truly meant something. The glamorous Hollywood star was not only beautiful, but she was also romantically linked to some of the most admired men of her time. When Marilyn Monroe died at just 36 years old, it shocked the world.

Suddenly, this shining star has gone out. It's August 1962 and everyone is asking questions: How did Marilyn Monroe die?

Nee Norma Jeane Mortenson On June 1, 1926, in Los Angeles, California, Marilyn Monroe, with her bubbly nature, hides a deep inner fragility and a struggle with drug addiction . This situation is the result of a difficult childhood that the star spent largely in foster homes.


The trauma inherent in her youth never disappeared. Tormented by anxiety and depression, The young star regularly turns to drugs and alcohol to allow his mind to escape.

"[She] drank champagne and straight vodka and, every now and then, took a pill... I said to her, 'Marilyn, the combination of pills and alcohol will kill you.' And she said, 'It hasn't killed me yet.' Then she had another drink and took another pill." James Bacon, a close friend of Marilyn Monroe.

Eventually, Monroe's habits began to affect her work. Her constant inability to show up on set on time, if at all, as well as her inability to remember her lines when she did, got her fired from her last film. Something's Got to Give.


Given this information, it is not so surprising that the death of Marilyn Monroe in 1962 was considered a suicide.

Although John F. Kennedy's brother-in-law, Peter Lawford, was not there when she died, the actor was the last person to speak to Monroe while she was alive. On the phone, she ended their final conversation by saying, "Say goodbye to Pat [Lawford's wife]. Say goodbye to the president. And say goodbye to yourself because you're a good guy."

In the early morning of August 5, 1962, Marilyn Monroe's psychiatrist, Dr. Ralph Greenson, and personal physician, Dr. Hyman Engelberg, were summoned to the actress's Los Angeles bungalow at 12305 Fifth Helena Drive.

Eunice Murray, Monroe's longtime housekeeper, made the first panicked calls to the star's doctors after waking at 3 a.m. to find the light still on in Monroe's bedroom.

Greenson managed to reach her room through the window. He found Monroe naked in her bed, holding a phone. The psychiatrist quickly realized that Marilyn was dead.

"She appears to be dead," Mr. Greenson said.

The number of prescription pills littering her nightstand certainly lent a suicidal connotation—but the question of what really caused Monroe's death has never been resolved.

At dawn, the bungalow's courtyard was crowded with reporters. Monroe's body was taken for an autopsy. Performed the same day, toxicology results showed that her blood contained high levels of chloral hydrate at the time of Marilyn Monroe's death, likely due to sleeping pills.


However, Monroe's death was ruled a " probable suicide " in the official death certificate. It concluded that the levels of chloral hydrate were so high that the sleeping pills must have been ingested "within a very short time"—in about a minute.
