In August 1962, Marilyn Monroe dies under mysterious circumstances, leaving the world with a mystery that remains unsolved even almost 60 years after her death.
The official cause of death: ‘probable suicide’. But this is more than doubtful.
What really happened on that fateful summer night in 1962? After her housekeeper discovers her body, six hours pass before the police are called – in the meantime, what happens in the Hollywood bungalow?
The police find a beautifully draped body, sleeping pills in the blood, but no pill residue in the stomach, and unsure-looking witnesses. The first investigator thinks murder – and is taken off the case.
In addition, there were Marilyn’s affairs with the then President John F. Kennedy and his brother Bobby Kennedy. Marilyn also threatened to divulge intimate and political details. Did this spell her doom?
New evidence may be contained in the ominous Box 39 in the UCLA archives.
Very interesting ! I remember hearing about her death in August 1962, when I was a trainee radio technician in Brisbane (Queensland). This documentary contained all new information that I had never heard before.
