Note: One of the last few photos of Marilyn Monroe taken
weeks before her death.
On August 5, 1962, movie actress Marilyn Monroe is found dead
in her home in Los Angeles. She was discovered lying nude on
her bed, face down, with a telephone receiver in one hand.
Empty bottles of pills, prescribed to treat her depression, were
littered around the room. After a brief investigation, Los Angeles
police concluded that her death was “caused by a self-administered overdose of sedative drugs and that the mode of death is probable suicide.”
