Marilyn Monroe
We’ve all heard about this one! In August, 1962, Marilyn Monroe was discovered deceased in her home in Brentwood, California. She was one of the biggest movie stars in the world at the time.
And her death at age 36 immediately became a shocking news story. Speculation immediately started about the circumstances of her death, specifically over whether or not she committed suicide.
All these years later, the public remains hypnotized by the story. There’s even a documentary on Netflix: The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes.
The film dives into Monroe’s life and death, particularly her relationships with both John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert. The conspiracy theories began flying fast as soon as Monroe passed away.
One theory has increased in the many decades since.
The claim is that Monroe overdosed and died on the way to the hospital and that Bobby Kennedy and his team staged her suicide attempt to keep their relationship a secret. What’s YOUR theory on this?

I can think of at least two others that could have been mentioned. One is fairly obvious: Mary Jo Kopechne. The other is columnist Dorothy Kilgallen, whose mysterious death was remarkably similar to Marilyn Monroe’s. Kilgallen was ready to have a book published about the JFK assassination, but after her death, all of her notes, transcripts and rough draft of the book mysteriously disappeared, never to be seen again.
Do not want this crap on my phone again
I’m surprised that you didn’t mention the name of Mary Jo Kapechne, (sp)? who drowned in a car
accident driven by Edward Kennedy. Her drowning was mysterious. I’m sure there are more women, whose lives were ruined or adversely affected by this powerful family.
You left off several others. Ted Kennedy while driving after a party he was giving a girl a ride home he crashed his car is a River the girl died and he ran home. Also his wife became an alcoholic.

Most of the Kennedy’s are dead. Let them rest in peace. Seems to me you’d be more interested in JFK’S death than his sex life.
You forgot Mary Jo Kopechne, the young lady who drowned on Chappaquiddick island in 1969 while in a car driven by Senator Ted Kennedy that overturned into a pond. The Senator got out alive but he left Mary Jo and didn’t report the accident until the next morning!
You left out my friend Martha Moxley!
