Interesting Times Revisited

Today in history, the nude body of Marilyn Monroe is discovered dead in her home. Her death is still shrouded in mystery.

Marilyn Monroe was found dead in the bedroom of her Brentwood, California home by her live-in housekeeper Eunice Murray on August 5, 1962. She was 36 years old at the time of her death.

Her death was ruled to be "acute barbiturate poisoning" by Dr. Thomas Noguchi of the Los Angeles County Coroners office and listed as "probable suicide," but because of a lack of evidence, her death was not classified as "suicide." Many individuals, including Jack Clemmons, the first Los Angeles Police Department officer to arrive at the death scene, believe that she was murdered.

The death of Marilyn Monroe is one of the most debated conspiracy theories of the twentieth century.
