Was Marilyn Monroe murdered, did she commit suicide or was it an accidental death?

I think there was most definitely something suspicious going on-She should have never gotten involoved with the Kennedy's to Start With-They have some kind of bad luck that just falls on that entire family.JFK-and Marilyn Monroe both I believe there was something strange about both deaths.

I've read quite a lot about this, and I've never thought she was murdered. It does seem likely, though, that certain aspects of her death were covered-up. When she died, she was having an affair with Bobby Kennedy, the Attorney General - there is evidence that suggests he may have been there when she died, which would have caused a massive scandal. Imagine if George Bush had been present when Anna Nicole died!! It would have been the end of him - the scandal would have been even bigger back in the 60s, and the Kennedys would never have recovered.

So, I reckon that if there was any conspiracy, it was covering that up and not that she was murdered.

To the ignorant little madam below me, try reading the answer and make sure you actually understand it before insulting anyone. I am just trying to show the level of scandal that would have erupted if it had emerged that Bobby Kennedy had been present when Marilyn died. It has nothing whatsoever to do with who they were, who they were sleeping with or what they took. It's people like you who make this site so unpleasant - frankly we could do without you.

Marilyn died late on the evening of August 4th, 1962 of acute barbiturate poisoning. She overdosed on the drugs Nembutal and Chloral Hydrate, both prescribed for insomnia. How this overdose came about is the subject of much curiousity and controversy. The death theories can be summed up into four main categories: Suicide, Self-administered accidental overdose, Accidental overdose administered by someone else, and Murder. Here are the basic theories:

SUICIDE: Depressed over her firing from her last film and the failure of her romantic relationships, Marilyn consumed a lethal dose of sleeping pills with the intention of ending her own life. "Probable suicide" was the official verdict on Marilyn's death.

SELF-ADMINISTERED ACCIDENTAL OVERDOSE: Marilyn ingested a fatal overdose of sleeping pills without realizing what she was doing. Either she took more pills having forgotten how many she had taken before, or she had ingested so many pills over the preceding days and hours that a lethal build-up of the drugs had occured in her system, so that the final dose was fatal.

ACCIDENTAL OVERDOSE ADMINISTERED BY SOMEONE ELSE: Marilyn was given the fatal dose through either an enema or an injection administered by someone else; most commonly named are Dr. Ralph Greenson and Marilyn's housekeeper, Eunice Murray.

MURDER: Marilyn was deliberately given the fatal dose with the intention of killing her, either via enema or injection (a "hot shot"). The most commonly named suspects, either directly or indirectly, are the Kennedys, with the motive that Marilyn "knew too much" that she had learned due to her affairs with these powerful men. Other suspects who have been named include the Mafia, most specifically Sam Giancana.

While every theory has its believers, it is most commonly held that whatever truly happened on August 4th, 1962, it wasn't suicide. An overwhelming propensity of evidence suggests that Marilyn did not die by orally ingesting sleeping pills. The scene of death appears to have been tampered with and important tissue samples from the autopsy mysteriously dissappeared, among other odd occurrances. There is very strong evidence that the circumstances surrounding Marilyn's death were covered up for some reason. The theories continue to be debated to this day.

I Agree With Those Who Said She Was Murdered

I have loved Marilyn for going on 35 years. I have read all the books, watched all the documentaries and go into it with a very open mind. Everything suggests she did commit suicide, after all she had attempted it several times before, but there was always someone close by to get her to a hospital in time.

But there are so many questions yet to be answered and by keeping everything quite they are just fuelling speculation even more. Yes, the Kennedy's knew about it, Eunice Murray, Pat Newcombe, Frank Sinatra, Sam Guenicana, Peter Lawford, that's why he drank himself to death within a year. Apart from Pat, all these people are dead, so who are they trying to protect?

I think she did take pills that night but again made sure people were around her that would have saved her in time, but they didn't and had no intention of doing so. They watched her while the drugs took affect, when she realised they weren't going to help she reached for the phone but that was taken from her and in the struggle received the bruise to her face which is in the autopsy report. And they waited for 4 hours before calling an ambulance just to make sure she was gone and there would be no chance of resuscitation.

So, yes, Marilyn was murdered, because they watched her die and made no attempt to get help.

Conspiracy theories abound, the more so these days as people begin to doubt pretty much everything they are told - thank goodness! Try looking at the Mafia. There's little to suggest she really committed suicide and plenty to suggest a grand plot between the White House and the Mafia. Nothing much changes, only the innocent continue to suffer.

I'm afraid this question will never be solved, there will always be doubts over her death, murder, suicide, we will never know.

It will remain a mystery, maybe the truth will be known when we ask Marilyn when we join her in the spirit world

i think she was murdered, by the kennedys for knowing to much. she got in there circle of friends, hung around with the wrong person and messed around with that loser. and cos she knew a little more than they wanted, they had her killed. what a shame as she was a beautiful talented women, i wish she could of still be around today. love marilyn she was great x

This is a fascinating question!!

I personally think that she was murdered and made to look like suicide!!!

I think that if she did genuinely commit suicide then why the cover up?

So many cover ups not just for Marilyn!!!

I can tell you she was murdered, I can tell you she commited suicide and I can even tell you that her death was accidental but the fact is we will never know. Personally I believe she was murdered and hence the reason JFK ended up being murdered and what not. It's all a big cover up in my eyes. You know what they say? If they wanted us to know, they'd tell us...
