A new book raises new questions about Marilyn Monroe’s death and whether or not it was suicide.
Author and DailyMail.com columnist Maureen Callahan delves into the mysterious circumstances surrounding Marilyn’s final days.
Dr. Greenson spoke “at length” to Miner and had him listen to “a 40-minute tape.” [Marilyn] she shares her plans for the near future,” Callahan wrote.
“As a result of what Dr. Greenson told me,” Miner reportedly said, “and from what I heard on tape recordings, I believe I can say with certainty that it was not a suicide.”
Marilyn’s body was discovered by her housekeeper in the early hours of August 5, 1962.
“She was lying face down on the bed, naked, with her phone still in her hand,” Callahan wrote.
When the FBI arrived at her home, they were ordered to delete “certain phone records.”
The records were later recovered in the 1980s, Callahan writes, and the logs showed that she had called Bobby. [Kennedy]’s workplace eight times between June 25 and 30. Her last call to him lasted eight minutes.”
The content of these calls is unknown, but “reports suggest she had an abortion on July 20 and the baby may have been Bobby’s,” Callahan wrote.
Marilyn had simultaneous affairs with Bobby and his brother JFK.
Before her famous “Happy Birthday” performance for JFK at Madison Square Garden on May 19, 1962, Marilyn had sex with Bobby backstage in her dressing room.
