The Official Story

On August 5, 1962, Marilyn Monroe was found dead in her Los Angeles home. The official story is that she died from an overdose of barbiturates, and her death was ruled a suicide.

There are a number of reasons why the official story is believed to be true. First, Monroe had a history of mental illness and substance abuse. Second, she had been seeing a psychiatrist and had been prescribed barbiturates to help her sleep. Third, the autopsy report showed that she had a lethal dose of barbiturates in her system.

Conspiracy Theories

Despite the official story, there are many people who believe that Marilyn Monroe was murdered. There are a number of different conspiracy theories about her death, but some of the most common include:

She was murdered by the Kennedy brothers, who were afraid she would reveal their affair.
She was murdered by the mob, who were afraid she would talk about their involvement in Hollywood.
She was murdered by the CIA, who were afraid she would reveal secrets about their operations.

Evidence

There is some evidence to support the conspiracy theories about Marilyn Monroe's death. For example, the autopsy report showed that she had bruises on her body, which could have been caused by a struggle. Additionally, there were witnesses who claimed to have seen Monroe arguing with a man in the hours before her death.

However, it is important to note that the evidence for the conspiracy theories is largely circumstantial. There is no definitive proof that Monroe was murdered, and it is possible that she did die from an overdose of barbiturates.
