Franklin D. Roosevelt‘s paralytic illness began at age 39, when he got a fever after exercising heavily during a vacation in Canada. He went sailing on the Bay of Fundy
with his three oldest children, put out a fire, jogged across Campobello Island, and
swam in Lake Glen Severn and the Bay. While his bout with the illness was well
known, it was kept from public view.

                             (June 1, 1926 – August 5, 1962)

The death of Marilyn Monroe was ruled to be "acute barbiturate poisoning"
by the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office and listed as "probable suicide".

Many believe to this day that she was murdered. The death of Monroe has
since become one of the most debated conspiracy theories of all time.
