URI GELLER SOLVES HISTORY’S GREATEST MYSTERIES: 2
How did Marilyn Monroe die?
The facts are simple – an overdose of sleeping tablets, a desperate phone call that was ignored, a naked and bloated body on a dishevelled bed, the sexiest icon in movie history dead at 36. The motives are anything but simple.
Los Angeles County medical examiner Thomas Noguchi recorded the cause of death as probable suicide. Marilyn, depressed that her career was fading, OD’d on barbituates. The name of Bobby Kennedy, the President’s younger brother, was being whispered long before assassin Sirhan Sirhan shot him dead. Marilyn was mistress to both JFK and Bobby – but I believe it was another of her lovers, the mobster Sam Giancana, who orchestrated her death. His hit men forced lethal doses of chemicals into her, probably while she slept under normal sedation.
Marilyn’s life is a distressingly clouded story. She felt her way through every episode, responding with emotions rather than lucid thoughts and words. It is easy to share her pain, and that’s a major reason why her image has always enjoyed huge appeal. But the last hours of her life are not a happy place to visit.
I do not believe the CIA ordered her killing, with or without the connivance of the Kennedys. Giancana was a jealous and sadistic man, and he had motive enough to snuff out the Candle in the Wind. Bobby Kennedy, however, made certain that his own tracks were covered.
