Dr. Howard found more evidence stating, “On Marilyn’s bedside table was a virtual pharmacopoeia of sedatives, soporifics, tranquilizers, opiates, “speed pills,” and sleeping pills. The vial containing the latter, a barbiturate known as Nembutal, was empty” (Markel). Monroe, someone who is very famous, would never need to take that many different medications. She had medications she had to take but she never had to take that may at once. The reporters found, “An empty bottle of sleeping pills was found by her bed” (“Marilyn Monroe”). It was normal for Monroe to take sleeping pills, but not normal to have them sitting by her bed empty with many other different types of medication. Taking too many sleeping can depress someone's breathing while that person is trying to sleeping making if difficult to breath. An article released by Columbia College stated, “With the high levels of barbiturates in her system as a clear cause of death, the presence of the coordinating medication bottles in her room, as well as the absence of any clear signs of foul play on the body, pointed to the conclusion of suicide” (Mallia). They know what she died from and no one was in her room with her when she died. She was found in her bed with all of the different medications and bottles next to her bed indicated that someone else was not who killed her. It is found through the evidence of many different articles that Monroe had committed …show more content…
Therefore she had to have taking multiple at a time for the bottle to be empty. A normal person should only need to take one sleeping pill everyday and no more, but if the bottle was empty then that means she took too many pills at once.

The public may not want to believe the reason for Marilyn’s death to be a suicide because she was so famous when she was alive and that would look bad for the people she worked with. This may be the reason why it is still considered an unsolved murder mystery because people do not want to believe or release her murder being a

However the life of the movie star was cut short when she died at age 36 from an acute barbiturate poisoning. It was suspected that Marilyn took her own life, however she could have just as easily been taken out by the Kennedy family to prevent her from spilling all the dirty secrets she knew because of her alleged affairs with John and Robert Kennedy. Monroe was murdered by the Kennedy family in order to keep her from revealing government secrets that she gained knowledge of during the affairs she has with John and Robert Kennedy, which she threatened to make public after both
It is generally said that the cause of death of Marilyn Monroe on August 4th, 1962 was an sleeping pill overdose on her part and therefore a suicide. However, substantial evidence found at her house, in the guest bedroom, and in her personal bedroom where Marilyn Monroe allegedly committed suicide along with the fact that she was sexually involved with a lot of powerful people (and knew a lot of secrets of said powerful people) points to something more sinister. Which leads to the question, did Marilyn Monroe really commit suicide, or was her death made to only appear as if she did? And if so, who killed Marilyn Monroe and how did they kill her without being caught or punished? There are many theories that could possibly answer this question, but only the two most believed theories as to what really killed Marilyn Monroe are mentioned in this paper. One is that Robert Francis Kennedy, Peter Sydney Ernest Lawford (Robert Francis Kennedy’s brother-in-law), and Dr. Ralph Greenson
