Controversy of Marilyn Monroe's Death

             In the early hours of August 5, 1962, Marilyn Monroe's body was
             found with a bottle of sleeping pills by her side, the local coroner said that
             the circumstances of her death indicated "possible suicide". What nobody
             knew back then is that it would cause controversies for the next forty plus
             years. Many people do not believe that Monroe died from suicide, but
             possibly from murder or an accidental overdose. Why is it that someone
             would commit suicide if they seemed so happy before? She had been

             many forensic facts that are at odds with the suicide theory. Forensic experts
             have discarded this theory as inconsistent with the facts, unless someone

             to herself. Also Marilyn Monroe seemed to be in good spirits at the time of
             her death and had been making plans for future events, such as, movies and
             possibly a remarriage to Joe DiMaggio. (Theories-Suicide 1) Monroe was
             found on August 5, 1962 with unhealthy levels of barbiturate in her
