Last pictures of people, moments before they died

11Marilyn Monroe

On 5th August,1962, Monroe's housekeeper, Eunice Murray and psychiatrist, Dr. Ralph Greenson broke into her bedroom to find Monroe dead in her bed. Her toxicology report concluded that she died of acute barbiturate poisoning. Possibility of accidental overdose was ruled out because empty bottles of such medication was found next to her bed and the dosages in Monroe's body was over the lethal limit. There was no sign of foul play. Therefore, her death was labeled as a "probable suicide". The doctors stated that Monroe was paranoid and frequently depressed and had tried to overdose herself before. Another theory alleged that Monroe had an affair with Dr. Greenson, who manipulated her dosage. Bobby Kennedy was also rumored to have an affair with Monroe and was suspected to have a hand in her death. But the reality in Monroe's case may be far more somber and unfortunate. In the words of her former co-star, Laurence Oliver, Monroe was "the complete victim of ballyhoo and sensation". She was "one of the most unappreciated people in the world" believed the director Joshua Logan.
