Biographer Denies Claim

September 25

Marilyn Monroe’s biographer has slammed a newly released FBI report that claims she was the victim of a murder conspiracy. Monroe was 36 when she was found lying naked, faced down on her bed at her Brentwood, California home on August 5th 1962. A coroner ruled the cause of death as ‘probable suicide’ by barbiturate poisoning, but many conspiracy theorists believe her rumored affairs had something to do with her unexpected death. Her biographer, Anthony Summers refuses to believe the newly released FBI document, unearthed by Australian filmmaker Phillipe Mora. It claims Monroe was tricked into killing herself by associates who promised she would be rescued in time. Summers, who claims to have had access to the FBI documents over 20 years ago, dismisses the allegations of foul play as unfounded. He says, “I had this document in 1984 when it was first released by the FBI. I had the uncensored version of it the same year. I got it from a private source in California who in turn had been in touch with a man who was eager to lay blame for Monroe’s death at the feet of the Kennedys.”"I didn’t use it because I believed it was full of misguided gibberish and rumor. It’s a shame because there are some real mysteries surrounding Monroe’s death, but I don’t think murder is one of them.”
