21. Suicide:
A Journey through a Survivor’s Mind
• Marilyn Monroe was found dead in the
bedroom of her Brentwood home by her
psychiatrist Ralph Greenson after he was
called by Monroe's 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 Coroner's Office and listed as
"probable suicide". Many detectives –
including Jack Clemmons, the first Los
Angeles Police Department officer to
arrive at the death scene – believe that
she was murdered. No murder charges
were ever filed. The death of Monroe has
since become one of the most debated
conspiracy theories of all time.
