So, officially, she committed suicide. Did she?
Let’s see.
She had tried it four times previously and she clearly had significant mood swings.
The problem with this is that too many forensic facts are at odds with it, unless one can imagine Marilyn making up a barbiturate enema and administering it to herself. Quite a number of forensic experts have discarded the suicide theory as inconsistent with the facts.
Another problem with the suicide theory is that she was in good spirits at the time of her death and had been making plans for future events and movies, and if Spoto is correct, her remarriage to Joe DiMaggio.
Did Robert Kennedy bring Marilyn the news of his brother’s desire to break off his relationship on the night Marilyn died? After all, there are some witnesses, including a cop, who place Robert Kennedy near the scene that night. This information may never be known with any certainty, but if Robert Kennedy did somehow make an unannounced visit to Marilyn Monroe on the night of August 4, then it provides unexpected motivation for the suicide theory. That is, while Marilyn may have been in good spirits that day and evening, a visit by Robert Kennedy shattering her notions about an enduring relationship with JFK could have abruptly changed her mood.
Was there an attempt on the part of the government to cover up John Kennedy’s indiscretions with Marilyn Monroe? It would be very surprising indeed if there were not such an attempt.
So what exactly did happen to the pretty lady?
