Summary
- Author James Patterson suggests Marilyn Monroe's death was murder.
- Monroe possessed dangerous information due to her connections.
- Autopsy findings and detective accounts raise questions about her death.
Author James Patterson has voiced his belief that Marilyn Monroe's death in 1962 was a murder. He suggests that Monroe was "treading in very dangerous waters" due to the sensitive information she acquired through her relationships with influential figures like President Kennedy and Mafia members.
Patterson's new book, "The Last Days of Marilyn Monroe: A True Crime Thriller," delves into these intriguing aspects of her life and death. He points out that many are unaware of the extent of her connections and the potentially dangerous knowledge she held, which could have motivated foul play.
While the official ruling stated Monroe's death was a probable suicide from a sedative overdose, Patterson highlights inconsistencies. He mentions that one detective assigned to the case was convinced the scene was staged, and the autopsy was not as thorough as it should have been, fueling speculation about the true circumstances of her demise.
