In the early morning of August 5, 1962, at 4:25 a.m., the Los Angeles Police Department suddenly rang a rapid telephone ringing.
The other end of the phone was filled with horror: "Marilyn Monroe is dead!" ”
The call came from Marilyn Monroe's personal doctor.
Subsequently, sirens sounded around Monroe's apartment, and many people were awakened by the sirens and did not know what was happening. It wasn't until the next morning that everyone learned that Monroe was dead.
When the police arrived at Monroe's house, they found Monroe lying naked on the bed, with a pillow pressed against her face, her legs straight, and a telephone hand in her hand.
Next to Monroe's bed, there were also some sleeping pill bottles scattered.
According to Monroe's housekeeper, Mrs. Murray, that day, she saw that the lights in Monroe's room were still on, and knocked on the door to inquire without answering.
The housekeeper felt that something was wrong, so she pushed open Monroe's bedroom door, but found that Monroe was unconscious, lying naked on the bed, so she quickly called the doctor.
Marilyn Monroe's personal doctor is the person who called the police at the beginning of the article, his name is Engelberg, and when he rushes to Monroe's house, he finds that Monroe's breathing has stopped and he has been dead for a long time.
However, it is strange that Monroe, who is only 36 years old, has the same face as an old man in her sixties and seventies.
01, a generation of superstars, suddenly the incense disappeared, everything is too coincidental
Soon, the news of Monroe's death appeared in major news magazines and media broadcasts, almost all of the United States and the world knew about it, and the cause of her death quickly became the focus of discussion.
On August 10, the Los Angeles police released an official announcement to the world that Monroe had committed suicide by taking sleeping pills.
According to the situation at the scene, the police found that this seemed to be a very typical suicide incident: there were no signs of fighting at the scene, Monroe's body had no other trauma, and it could be inferred from the sleeping pill bottle on the table in front of the bed that she should have died of taking too much sleeping pills.
Monroe's psychiatrist later said she was depressed the day before Monroe's death.
Monroe's mother was mentally ill, and her upbringing was painful and bumpy, and ending her life by suicide seemed to make sense.
However, witnesses who had seen Monroe the day before said that she was in a good mood that day and did not show any trouble.
Soon, the forensic autopsy results came out and determined that Monroe died between 8:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. on Aug. 4.
Although it was announced to the outside world that Monroe died by suicide, this conclusion was not convincing. Moreover, after a detailed investigation, the police found that there were still four suspicious points in the whole case that could not be explained:
The first suspicious point was that the forensic doctor carefully examined Monroe's digestive system while in charge of the autopsy of the remains, and in Monroe's gastrointestinal residue, the forensic doctor did not find any residue of sleeping pills.
If Monroe really swallowed so many sleeping pills at once, then she should have adverse reactions such as nausea, vomiting, and spasms, and the death process would be extremely distorted and painful, and would not be as "calm" as Monroe was asleep.
The second suspicious point, the forensic doctor found that monroe's blood content of phenobarbital is 5 times that of normal sleeping pills, this dose, can completely kill 10 people.
The reason why Monroe's face after death is like an old man is also very related to the effect of this drug on muscle nerves.
However, monroe did not have any residue of sleeping pills in her stomach, and such a huge dose did not enter Monroe's body by mouth.
However, the forensic doctor did not find any needle holes on Monroe's body, and there were no signs of bruises, so intravenous injection was immediately ruled out by the forensic doctor.
The third suspicion, according to Ma Monroe's neighbors, was that a helicopter had stopped at the door of her house the day before her death. Monroe's neck has some bruise marks, is it that she had an argument with someone before she died?
The fourth suspicion, the police also found that the memos and private diaries that should have been displayed in Monroe's room had all mysteriously disappeared, and according to the housekeeper, this was something that Monroe would go through every day.
The private diary chronicled the "overly intimate" interactions between Monroe and President John F. Kennedy. On the night of Monroe's "suicide", this diary also mysteriously evaporated.
Bizarrely, Monroe's call logs for three hours before her death also disappeared.
Moreover, monroe was still holding a phone in her hand when she was found dead, and who was still on the phone when she committed suicide?
This series of confusion makes people wonder: Monroe's death, and feelings? This has to start with Monroe's storm with the president.
The American writer Truman Capote, a good friend of Monroe's, believed that Monroe's death was not a suicide, and for ten years after Monroe's death, he had been investigating monroe's cause of death.
Although there is no specific investigation process, According to Capote, he believes that Monroe's death may be due to the involvement of the Kennedy family and the dark side of the political circle.
02, Monroe and the Kennedy brothers
Monroe had three marriages in her life.
She was an illegitimate daughter who did not know who her father was, her mother had a history of mental illness, and she grew up in an orphanage. To live a stable life, she married the son of a foster family neighbor at the age of 16, a marriage that lasted four years.
Later, Monroe, who was in the ascendancy of her career, met baseball star Joe Di Majo, but unfortunately, the marriage lasted only 274 days, but Joe Di Ma Jo has always been very deeply in love with Monroe.
Soon after the divorce, Monroe fell in love with the playwright Miller. But the third marriage lasted only a year and a half, and after two miscarriages, Monroe reluctantly gave up the marriage.
After experiencing her third failed marriage, Monroe met John F. Kennedy, the president of the United States at the time, and the two had a close and ambiguous relationship.
At that time, Monroe, who had already had three failed marriages, fell into a love affair with Kennedy and could not extricate herself, and once had the idea of replacing first lady Jacqueline and becoming Kennedy's wife.
Monroe did not know that Kennedy could not divorce, his family did not allow it, and his career was inseparable from the help of his wife Jacqueline.
On May 19, 1962, Monroe was invited to President Kennedy's birthday party.
This invitation letter may be a "death notice" for Monroe.
Because just 2 months after this birthday party, Monroe died.
At that time, Monroe was filming the movie "On the Verge of Collapse" on the spot, but in order to speed up her pace of becoming the first lady, Monroe did not hesitate to abandon hundreds of staff members on the set and went to the banquet alone.
Moreover, Monroe approached the famous designer Louis and asked him to tailor an unparalleled evening dress for himself.
Tailor-made for Monroe, this evening dress is extremely gorgeous, the fabric is made of top silk thread 50 times thinner than ordinary silk thread, and the dress is studded with rhinestones, which is particularly dazzling under the lamp.
The gorgeous dress cost $12,000, which was a sky-high price at the time (the dress was auctioned for $4.8 million in 2016).
On the night of May 19, Monroe confidently took to the stage in a battle robe in the spotlight, singing a "Happy Birthday" song to Kennedy in a sexy voice.
Moreover, Monroe also customized a Rolex gold watch for Kennedy, and the back of the watch is engraved with "Jack (Kennedy's nickname), Monroe will always love you".
It was precisely because it was a dinner party that this woman, who was too beautiful and dazzling, became a big trouble for Kennedy.
According to the White House secretary, Kennedy's younger brother Robert warned his brother that Monroe was too dangerous and kept him away from Monroe.
The next day, Kennedy may have sensed something and sent someone to retrieve all the photos of him with Monroe that night, and the rolex gold watch with the engraved words was secretly destroyed.
Monroe regarded Kennedy as her biggest patron, and all indications were that Kennedy was tired of Monroe.
In August 1962, the Kennedy brothers simultaneously severed all ties with Monroe.
Monroe's good friend Sidney Gilarov said that Monroe had called herself at 9 p.m. on August 4, sadly confiding in what she had done for the Kennedy brothers over the years, and claiming to hold the secrets of the Kennedy family in her hands.
According to President Kennedy's brother-in-law, Lawford, Monroe contacted him that night to find Kennedy's brother Robert and claimed to hold a press conference.
Coincidentally, Monroe was so fragrant that night that no one knew what happened that night.
With the assassination of Kennedy on November 22, 1963, and the murder of Kennedy's brother Robert on June 5, 1968, Monroe's death can no longer be verified.
03. The final funeral
Before Monroe's burial, the mortician who dressed and groomed her could not help but collapse and cry:
"As a fan of Monroe, I can't imagine that such a brilliant generation of superstars in life was such an unsightly and tragic situation when they died. Just that glance, I was completely shocked. ”
Monroe in front of her, like a dying old man, has completely failed to match the sexy girl who has seen on the screen.
Monroe has a mouth of snow-white teeth on the screen, and at this moment, the mortician finds that she has no teeth.
Monroe's hair was curled up in a mess, and her face was a dark purple corpse spot, and the marks were eerie and terrifying.
The neck was even more swollen, and it seemed to be filled with liquid, so that the neck became transparent. With a gentle press of your hand, you can immediately sink into a small pit.
In order to make her look more beautiful, the mortician had to operate on her to drain the effusion in her neck.
After that, the funeral director helps her clean her hair, skin, nails, etc. Then put on makeup, put on lipstick, and put on beautiful clothes. Finally, he put on a blonde wig.
Monroe's second husband, Joe DiMaggio, held a funeral for her. At the funeral, DiMaggio cried uncontrollably.
The mysterious cause of death and the many involvements with politics have added a more mysterious color to Monroe's life, and people can't help but sigh: since ancient times, the red face has a thin life.
Monroe earned a lot of wealth in her life and became one of the founders of the American dream.
However, she died in her best years.
In her former diary, there is a sentence like this: "Men are willing to pay a big price for a kiss of hers, but they are not willing to spend 50 cents to understand her soul!" ”
Her sweet and gentle appearance could not hide the gloomy melancholy in her eyes.
Her short life, like a gorgeous bird, flew through the sky, leaving her feathers behind.
A group of people looked at the feathers that were falling, each with their own ideas.
Some people think that this feather is frivolous, and some people think that this feather is gorgeous.
In any case, the feather that was once "Monroe's era" finally went with the wind.
