Marilyn Monroe; The Murder of a Sex Symbol
Marilyn Monroe previously known as Norma Jean Baker had strived to become
famous. She has the classic Rags to Riches story going from a very rough child hood to
the Biggest Sex Icon America has yet to see. Marilyn would then get caught up in the
fame and be tossed into Controversies and Scandals that lead to her death. Marilyn
was found dead at 3am on August 4th of 1962. At first glance the crime seemed to
clearly be a suicide. Later to be discovered that pieces didn’t match up, Marilyn’s death
was not a suicide it was a murder.
10 p.m. on August 4, 1962, the actress slipped into a coma caused by an
overdose of sleeping pills and other found toxins. She would never regain
consciousness. After she was discovered, a bizarre set of activities took place in her
Brentwood home leading to the suspicion that maybe Monroe didn’t attempt to end her
own life. Items came up missing from her bedroom among these items were a diary and
an incriminating note that would link Monroe with President John F. Kennedy, If this
note would be discovered by the government it would cause further implications
according to Marilyn’s personal physiatrist. “It is to be believed that the order for the
items removal had come from someone in the White House, in an attempt to prevent a
scandal from ruining the presidency of John F Kennedy.” Says TruTv (see age 2 of
Marilyn Monroe Story). Witnesses said they had observed Marilyn’s body being taken
secretly that night by an ambulance crew to a nearby hospital at around 10:30 pm.
