Marilyn Monroe Tricked Into Suicide

Australian filmmaker Phillipe Mora has uncovered a secret FBI report which alleges Marilyn Monroe was was tricked into killing herself.

Monroe, 36 at the time, was rumored to be having an affair with US Attorney General Robert Kennedy (brother of President John F. Kennedy) when she was found dead, lying naked, face down on her bed at her home in Brentwood, California, on August 5, 1962.

A coroner ruled the cause of death as 'probable suicide' by barbiturate poisoning, but many conspiracy theorists believe her rumoured affair with Kennedy had something to do with her unexpected death.

The newly-released FBI file - suggests the blond bombshell (by which all other blonds are measured) was persuaded to make a suicide bid with the understanding that she would be rescued in time. The report speculates she was left to die in an elaborate plot which included her psychiatrist Ralph Greenson, her housekeeper Eunice Murray, her press secretary
Pat Newcomb & actor Peter Lawford - who was married to Kennedy's sister Patricia.

The document, which was given to the FBI in October 1964, alleges Lawford "knew from Marilyn's friends that she often made suicide attempts" to gain sympathy. He is accused of making "special arrangements" with Greenson to provide Monroe with the means to commit a drugs overdose. The report says, "Robert Kennedy made a telephone call to Peter Lawford to find out if Marilyn was dead yet.

"Marilyn expected to have her stomach pumped and get sympathy for her suicide attempt. The psychiatrist did not come to see her until after she was known to be dead."

The file also alleges Monroe was silenced because she had threatened to reveal a "romance and sex affair" with Kennedy, whom she realized would never leave his wife Ethel for her.
