Marilyn Monroe was found dead on August 5, 1962, in the bedroom of her Brentwood home by her psychiatrist, Dr. Ralph Greenson. She was 36 years old. Her death was determined to have been caused by a barbiturate overdose, and was ruled a "probable suicide" by the coroner's office after officers of the Los Angeles Police Department reported to the death scene. Neither the 1962 investigations by the coroner and police nor their 1982 review by the office of the Los Angeles County District Attorney could find any evidence that Monroe had been the victim of a crime. Her death has been the subject of several conspiracy theories, however. Many of these involve President John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert F. Kennedy, as well as union leader Jimmy Hoffa and mob boss Sam Giancana. Besides theories that she was murdered, there have been allegations that her death was an accidental overdose. ==Timeline== Monroe spent her last day alive, August 4, at her home on 12305 Fifth Helena Drive in Brentwood, Los Angeles. In the morning, she met with photographer Lawrence Schiller to discuss the possibility of ''Playboy'' publishing nude photos taken of her on the set of ''Something's Got to Give''. She also received a massage from her personal massage therapist, talked with friends on the phone, and signed for deliveries. Present at the house in the morning were also her housekeeper, Eunice Murray, and her publicist Patricia Newcomb, who had stayed overnight. According to Newcomb, they had an argument because Monroe had not slept well the night before. At 4:30 p.m., Dr. Ralph Greenson arrived at the house to conduct a therapy session with Monroe, and asked Newcomb to leave. Before he left at around 7 p.m., he asked the housekeeper to stay overnight and keep her company. At approximately 7–7:15, Monroe received a call from Joe DiMaggio, Jr., with whom she had stayed close since her marriage to his father. He told her that he had broken up with a girlfriend she did not like, and detected nothing alarming in her behavior. She then telephoned Greenson to tell him the news (about DiMaggio's parting from his girlfriend) at around 7:40–7:45. Monroe retired to her bedroom at approximately 8 p.m., and received a call from actor Peter Lawford, who was hoping to persuade her to attend his party that night. He became alarmed as Monroe sounded like she was under the influence of drugs, and told him to "Say goodbye to Pat, say goodbye to the president (brother-in-law ), and say goodbye to yourself, because you're a nice guy" before drifting off. Unable to reach her, Lawford called his agent Milton Ebbins, who unsuccessfully attempted to reach Dr. Greenson, and then called Monroe's lawyer, Milton A. Rudin. Rudin called Monroe's house, and was assured by her housekeeper that she was fine. At approximately 3:00 a.m., the housekeeper woke up "sensing that something was wrong", and saw light from under Monroe's bedroom door, but was not able to get a response and found the door locked. She telephoned Greenson, on whose advice she looked in through a window and saw Monroe lying facedown on her bed, covered by a sheet and clutching a telephone receiver. He arrived shortly after and entered the room by breaking a window, finding Monroe dead. He called her physician, Dr. Hyman Engelberg, who arrived at the house at around 3:50 a.m. and officially confirmed the death. At 4:25 a.m., they notified the Los Angeles Police Department. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Death of Marilyn Monroe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
