Bombshell Monroe’s untimely end

-

but feared it would be exposed, so helped “enable” her drug addiction.

In 2007, filmmaker Philippe Mora also discovered an FBI document that appeared to suggested Kennedy knew about a plot to “induce” her suicide.

In order to give Kennedy time to leave LA so he wasn’t associated with her, Monroe’s body was returned home and her suicide faked.

Netflix’s documentar­y The Mystery Of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes, highlights inconsiste­ncies in the time the actress was supposed to have been found, ranging from 11pm to 3am — the time she was officially found by Murray.

Other witnesses claim she was still alive when she went into an ambulance that morning.

Spoto claimed Monroe’s death was caused by an accidental overdose because she had fibbed to two doctors — psychiatri­st Ralph Greenson (inset right) and personal doc Hyman Engelberg — about how many pills she was taking.

He alleged that they then covered it up with the help of the housekeepe­r.

Spoto pointed to discrepanc­ies in their police statements and the fact Monroe didn’t appear suicidal — she had just signed a new movie deal.

Prosecutor John Miner, involved in the investigat­ion of Monroe’s death, also alleged there was evidence she had been given drugs via an enema, not taken them herself.

One of the wildest theories is that Monroe was killed because she knew about aliens.

In his 2017 documentar­y Unacknowle­dged, Dr Steven Greer claimed to have seen a classified CIA memo written two days before her death.

He says it suggested JFK had told her about seeing “things from outer space” at an air base.

The authoritie­s supposedly ordered Monroe’s death, as she had threatened to tell the world about it.

British UFO expert Nick Redfern wrote a book outlining a similar theory last year.

Canadian John Alexander Baker believes Monroe had a breakdown and her death was staged.

He reckons her psychiatri­st may have committed her to a mental institutio­n where she stayed for 20 years before being released.

According to his book Marilyn Monroe: Alive In 1984? (below), he picked up a hitchhiker in Nova Scotia using Monroe’s original name, Norma Jeane, who told him about her life as a movie star.

Baker said she looked uncannily like the star and her singing voice was similar, adding: “I believe 99 per cent that she really was who she claimed to be.”
