Marilyn Monroe

[thoughtmonkey]

This is a story that has always intrigued me.
Was it suicide or was she silenced ?
What does everyone else think?

[Asher]

Personally I believe she was silenced. The autopsy speaks for itself.

[Nortatem]

Not only do I believe she was silenced, but I believe that the autopsy proves how it was done. Marilyn was into sex alot and was also very very trusting and submissive. I think that the supositories must have been adminstered on a string durring a sex act of sorts. There was no trauma sugesting that the doses was adminstered oraly, and the amounts found would invuluntarily induce vomiting. They had to be supositories. Her record with men, and influential men at that , and a atravk record of relations since the norma jean days can only go to prove that they were adminstered without force. She was murdered in a way that many would find impossible to believe, and could have only been done two ways. The first is unlikely. She had some troubles and needed supositories. These were replaced with the drugs, a blttle of the same drug was left for faulce evidence. Two, She had was seduced by the killer in a n act I will self censor, and was adminsterd the fatle dose on a string. There were no shots or any thing. I will also submit a 3rd theory but this twqo is highly unlikely. What if the dose was desolved in a douch or enema. Either way would still be fatal and leave little or no trace once evacuated and obsorbed.

[Asher]

Very Good deduction Nortatem. The enema would explain why her colon was purple at autopsy,and why her housekeeper was doing laundry at 3 in the morning.

[Nortatem]

Enema was possible for a couple reasons. Tho Marilyn was on of the LAst BBW's (big beatiful women) She was constanly in need of weight loss towards the end of her career. Smaller women became the thing in the early 60's with Janet Leigh. So to keep a youthful figue and not get the facial trauma from bulemai could have explained a way conspirators could have attacked her.

THe seduction rout and the "BEADS" seams more unlikely towards the end of her life. But you never know. She was promiscuous, and no doubt was probably experimental. The purple colon and the laundry could have been due to the slight trauma of "BEAD" insertion.

On another, though it had to be a political hit, why were other hollywood stars and upancomers not interveiwed or taken in. I think it was likely that a young actor or producer had ample opretunity for the "SEDUCTION" theory. The enema someone would have to know that Marilyn used one. It is not comon knowledge. It would have had to have been someone who shopped for her or a doctor, either A) did the act them selves by switching said chemical, or B) leaked the information out to the killer or killers. Either way it seems the perfect murder. I doubt a person attempting suicide would really concider barbituate od vaginally or anally as an option, even if said drugs were available. It had to be very well planned out.

[Asher]

I agree with you, very good.

[thoughtmonkey]

I agree, I think she was silenced

CBS) A veil of mystery still shrouds the 1962 death of movie star Marilyn Monroe. While her death was ruled a probable suicide, rumors persist to this day of a cover-up, and even murder.

Peter Van Sant examines newly released documents and audiotapes about the night Marilyn died and talks to the man who spearheaded an official 1982 investigation in the movie star's death.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the sun came up on Aug. 5, 1962, it seemed so hard to believe Marilyn Monroe was dead at age 36.

How did it happen? Monroe, who had starred in 30 films and was an idol to millions, was now coroner’s case No. 81128.

Days after her death, the coroner announced she had died from a self-administered overdose of sedative drugs. He ruled her death a probable suicide.

That explanation has fueled a mystery that has lasted more than 40 years.

"Marilyn Monroe, whatever else her miseries at the time, had not been talking about killing herself," says biographer and journalist Anthony Summers, who has done exhaustive research on the mystery of Monroe's death and was a consultant to 48 Hours.

"The evidence is that there was a very high level of barbiturates in Marilyn Monroe's blood. The question then comes, how did it get there?" Summers asks.

Now, there may be some answers. 48 Hours has been granted unprecedented access to the only official inquiry that looked at Monroe’s death as a potential homicide. The investigation was conducted by the Los Angeles District Attorney's office in 1982. 48 Hours obtained hundreds of pages of documents and hours of audiotaped interviews with witnesses about what happened the night Marilyn died.

There were many tough questions, but the investigation really came down to just one: Was Marilyn murdered — or did she take her own life.

It was a life that seemed to hold so much promise.

Actor Tony Curtis says he'll never forget the day he met Marilyn on the Universal movie lot. "I call Marilyn and I make a date … off we went down to Malibu," he recalls.

And just like it would happen later in the movies, he and Marilyn hit it off. Asked if he was in love with her, Curtis says, "I'm in love with her now. I've loved her all these years."

Back then, they were two young actors, hoping to become stars. "We were brand new, looking for a career," says Curtis. "Looking for those diamonds in the sky."

For Marilyn, there were pin-up spreads, and bit parts. Eventually, she did find those diamonds — playing Lorelei Lee in the 1953 movie "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" was a breakthrough role for her.
