Remembering Marilyn Monroe: The TRUTH Behind Singer/Actress's Death Explored

Marilyn Monroe's tragic death has been revisited after fans marked her 60^th death anniversary.

Decades after Monroe's fruitful career was cut short, her fan club kept her memory alive by holding its annual event on Friday.

The Marilyn Remembered Fan Club, which was established in 1982, held the annual Marilyn Monroe Memorial Service at Los Angeles' Westwood Village Memorial where she was laid to rest.

The Marilyn Monroe Collection Instagram shared a sneak peek of the event, showing the flowers that surrounded the singer and model's grave.

"Marilyn received flowers from around the world in recognition of the 60th anniversary of her passing. The display today after last night's memorial service by @marilynremembered is beyond stunning. She's still very loved. #marilynmonroe," the caption read.

Aside from the fans, Greg Schreiner, Terry Moore, Luke Yankee, and George Chakiris attended the event and offered heartfelt messages for the late star.

Monroe's ex-husband, Joe DiMaggio, was also present.

How Did Marilyn Monroe Die?

With the anniversary of her death, fans started to look back and remember the night the "I Wanna Be Loved By You" singer died.

In 1962, the police found her lying naked on her bed with her face down. The police also found empty bottles of medicines around the model's dead body.

This caused e Los Angeles police to declare that her death was self-induced using the aforementioned drugs and that "the mode of death is probable suicide." However, Police Chief Daryl Gates said they received requests to reinvestigate the case, although no evidence was found again.

″There are no surprises whatsoever; it was a very straight suicide,″ he said at the time. ″There were 45 Nembutals, I believe, barbiturates."

With that, they assumed that she died of a barbiturate overdose.

Despite the report, Frank Sinatra reportedly insisted until his death that Monroe was murdered. Film producer Tony Oppedisano released a book, "Sinatra and Me: In The Wee Small Hours," where he mentioned that Sinatra never got over her death.

The late singer assumed so as Monroe met DiMaggio at the Cal-Neva Lodge near Lake Tahoe a week before her death. The model also announced that she reconciled with him through a statement, revealing she would also hold a press conference to formally give details.

The public assumed she would also reveal her past relationships with former POTUS John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy. But as she died before she was able to do so, Sinatra was convinced that she was murdered to prevent her from speaking up.
