Marilyn Monroe Died Because She ‘Knew Too Much’ From President John F. Kennedy, Investigator Believes

Though Marilyn Monroe‘s death was ruled a probable suicide, a new TV special investigating the Hollywood icon’s final hours suggests she could’ve been killed.

In Celebrity Crime Scene: Marilyn Monroe — which premiered on Sunday, June 21 — investigators and crime journalists look back on when the blonde bombshell was found dead in August 1962 at age 36 with empty pill bottles discovered beside her bed (via clips shared by TMZ).

Investigative journalist Kiki Monique states in the TV special that, shortly before Monroe’s death, she had lunch with either President John F. Kennedy or his brother Robert F. Kennedy. It is widely believed by historians that she had affairs with them both.

“During that lunch, she supposedly is talking to them about the morality of the atomic bomb,” said Monique. “So now she knows secrets about what the president is thinking about this.”

“The day before Marilyn died, an anonymous source sent a letter to the CIA that alleged that Marilyn was going to reveal secrets about Project Moon Dust, which was a U.S. Air Force space program that recovered space debris,” Monique also claimed.

Cold-case investigator Paul Holes therefore concluded, “The bottom line is that it’s possible that either the CIA or the FBI killed her because she knew too much.”

Holes also said he believed that the scene at her death was staged, pointing to how the pill bottles were arranged on her nightstand. “How does she swallow 50 capsules, yet there’s no drinking glass near her?” he also questioned.

The TV special used A.I. imaging to recreate the scene at Monroe’s house, with the three experts pointing out possible holes in the case.

Monroe, who became a bombshell of the 1950s and early 1960s, was found dead in her bed, covered by a sheet, as a result of acute barbiturate poisoning. The possibility that she had accidentally overdosed was eventually ruled out, and her death has been ruled a probable suicide.

Conspiracy theories surrounding her death have floated for years, though there has been no concrete evidence of foul play.
