Marilyn Munroe's death

I found this article on msn news today and thought it was interesting, maybe there will be a whole lot more information about a variety of mysteries coming to light over the next few years as documents are released under the freedom of information laws.

Document 'links Bobby Kennedy to Monroe death'


An Australian director has uncovered a document that suggests Robert Kennedy was aware of a plot to "induce" the suicide of Marilyn Monroe.

Bobby Kennedy was the brother of murdered US president John F Kennedy and served as US attorney-general from 1961 to 1964 before he was assassinated in 1968.

Philippe Mora, writing in Saturday's Fairfax newspapers, said Monroe was well known for staging suicide attempts as a form of attention seeking.

But he said he has uncovered a three-page document that reveals on August 4, 1962, she was left to die while attempting another attention seeking moment.

The report, handed to the FBI on October 19, 1964, implicates the actor Peter Lawford, Monroe's psychiatrist, her housekeeper and personal secretary in the 36-year-old actresses death.

It states Lawford made "special arrangements" with the psychiatrist that saw Monroe given a high quantity of her prescription medication.

"Marilyn expected to have her stomach pumped out and get sympathy for her suicide attempt," the report states.

It said on the same day Kennedy made a phone call from St Charles Hotel, San Francisco to Lawford "to find out if Marilyn was dead yet".

Mora, who is based in Los Angeles, has found the document, compiled by an unnamed former special agent, among thousands of pages released under freedom of information laws in October.

The report, titled simply Robert F Kennedy, is not sourced or authenticated but it was circulated to the FBI's five most senior officers, Mora said.

I have heard about that plot last summer in a tv program, which was about some old facts not completely-clear and known yet, and I was really shocked, because I didn't know much about Monroe's "suicide"...but I'd have never believe.. she didn't look like a person who might be consider a danger. The tv program was all centered on the role of "Monroe's psychiatrist" and his relation to Kennedy. Hope it comes to the end, the truth if it's possible!

so wait i just wanted to get this straight: it's a wide known fact that Kennedy had some sort of sexual relation with Marilyn. Did Bobby?
