[edit] Marilyn Monroe: Envious & the Most Class A Girl Can Have
Why would she kill herself? Alot of people think they know, but they really don't. Know one know's why someone killed themself. It's a secret inside them that will never be let out. Marilyn was gorgeous. She had class. She had fame. But what really drove her to suicide? I dont know. And neither do many of the reporters who report "they know why".
To all of you that have critisized, hurt, and betrayed Marilyn, shame on you. She was a great person in her time and still continues to be. She needed money and sought out acting and singing. She worked for what she did. So please, leave the poor girl alone.
Marilyn: RIP. June 1st, 1926 - August 5th 1962
You will always be in our hearts

What was the total point of that? I think there was little relevence there. Next time, do something constructive. IronCrow 02:03, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] removed random unsourced conspiracy theories
I've moved the conspiracy theory stuff here, until someone can provice verifiable, credible sources for the information. Please see the sections on original research and verifiability.
The death of Marilyn Monroe is surrounded with controversy. There are many different theories to the exact cause of her demise.
[edit] Kennedy connection
Most try to make a case for murder due to her connection with the Kennedy family and the sometimes strange and unprofessional relationships between Monroe and her psychiatrist, Dr. Ralph Greenson; the housekeeper he hired for Monroe, Mrs. Eunice Murray; and her personal publicist, Pat Newcomb, who was hired by the Kennedys immediately following Monroe's death. Suspicion also arises due to the fact that up to four hours passed between the discovery of her body and the phone call to the Los Angeles Police Department. Jack Clemmons, the first officer on the scene, claimed that when he entered the home, Mrs. Murray was doing laundry, Monroe's room was very tidy as though it had been cleaned prior to his arrival, and her body looked posed. In Clemmons's words, "She was face down, her arms at her side, like a soldier at attention, a phone under her torso." Clemmons noted that Dr. Greenson kept pointing to rows of pill bottles lined up neatly on her nightstand and saying as if rehearsed, "She must have taken all of these." Simmons noticed that no typical signs of drug overdose were present, namely foaming of the mouth and twisting of the body due to convulsions. The police report mentioned a broken bedroom window and glass on the floor, to which Murray claimed was the only access to the locked room. Also suspicious, lividity (settling of blood) in various parts of the body suggested that the body had been moved as well. Those who spoke with her in the days prior to her death would describe an upbeat, optimistic Marilyn.
[edit] Other men
In connection with conspiracy theories, it must be noted that the other women whom Kennedy was allegedly involved with, including Angie Dickinson and Judith Campbell Exner, survived him. Through her relationship with Sam Giancana, Exner seriously compromised both Kennedy and the presidency itself, yet she told People magazine that the FBI quit its surveillance of her - and left her alone - once it was apparent that her affair with Kennedy was over.
[edit] Bell writes...
The paragraph of quote beginning after the phrase "Bell writes..." finishes with the line:
- God damn it! Hy gave her a prescription I didn't know about!
Can anyone check the spelling of "Hy" please and either correct it, or give it a [sic] tag, please?
[edit] Comparison to Elvis Presley's death
In the trivia section, it states that Monroe's death is "extremely similar" to Presley's death. I have two things to ask about this: 1) Why is this important and 2) Monroe died from a drug overdose. Presley died from a heart condition caused by years of drug abuse and an otherwise unhealthy lifestyle. Hence, I dispute why this "fact" needs to be included at all. Naysie 06:03, 4 March 2007 (UTC) P.S. I don't understand "He excluded all he deemed morally responsible for her death." Can someone fix this sentence or explain what is meant?
