Marilyn
was, without a doubt, Hollywood’s most unforgettable starlit. She was put on the
earth to act, but tragically, she was taken from the earth too soon. Marilyn
died on Sunday August 5th, 1962 at twelve o’clock in the morning. She
was only thirty six years old. Her death brought on enormous amounts of
speculation. Whether the speculation came from the uncertain details about her
death, or the simple fact that she was so famous that she couldn’t possibly have
committed suicide. She was a depressed movie star, sex symbol and lived a
rather scandalous life however, that isn’t reason to believe suicide was her
answer to get out.

Jack Clemmons was the first officer to report to the scene of the crime in the
early hours of August 5th. When he arrived to Monroe’s home, at four
thirty in the morning, three people were waiting for him, Marilyn’s internist Dr.
Hymen Ingleberg, Dr. Ralph Greenist her psychiatrist and her housekeeper Unis
Murry. When Clemmons originally interviewed the trio all three claimed that
Unis Murry found Monroe just past twelve o’clock in the morning. He then
responded with the question of why the three did not call police right away,
instead they waited over three hours later. Clemmons claimed that not one of
the three witnesses could answer him.
The truth behind Marilyn Monroe’s death is
long gone and buried. Her life was so grand and extraordinary, that people did
not want to believe suicide was the cause of her tragic. The only truth we
really know is the fact that Marilyn was hurting. She had been depressed and
lonely for years. Her failed attempts of suicide were cries for help, the help
she so longed to receive, came a little too late.
