Unsettling Questions Surrounding Marilyn Monroe’s Death Echo Through Decades

The enigmatic demise of Marilyn Monroe in the early ’60s continues to stir speculation and conspiracy theories, resonating over six decades later. A Reddit user, u/Heavier_Omen, expressed discomfort with the unsettling details surrounding Monroe’s death, including the temporary disappearance of her body.

One persistent theory suggests that individuals linked to John F. Kennedy might have orchestrated Monroe’s death to conceal an alleged affair. Although rooted in history, the Los Angeles Times reported in 1962 that the FBI knew of these theories without actively investigating them.

Initially ruled as a probable suicide or accidental barbiturate overdose, questions persist. In 2022, the Los Angeles Times highlighted discrepancies, revealing that the coroner found no “barbiturates” in her body, proposing their dispersion into her blood and liver over time. In 1982, a reopened investigation upheld the original determination, yet ambiguity lingers, contributing to the enduring mystery of Marilyn Monroe’s tragic end.
