The Death of Marilyn Monroe- An American Mystery 50 Years Later [VIDEO]

50 years ago yesterday Marilyn Monroe was found dead at her California home, and it seems as though that is about all that is fact in what has become a half century old mystery. Was her death suicide like the autopsy states, or was it something else... Accidental drug overdose? Suicide? Murder at the hands of a powerful political clan? The Mob?

This question has been debated, researched, and even fought over since the day Monroe died, but to this day not everyone seems to agree on just how Monroe died. Many have dedicated their whole careers to studying the case, and both sides have great points. After 49 years it seems as though we will never know for sure what happened to Marilyn Monroe on the night of August 4th, 1962, but it sure left us with a good mystery.

The story is still fresh today, thanks to Monroe's magic potion: beauty, sensuality, insecurity and talent, all mixed together with a giant dollop of mystery, a potion that has only grown stronger over the years.

Marilyn has never really gone away. She still graces the covers of magazines - three times on the front of Vanity Fair in the past four years alone.

Here is a documentary from 2009 from the show "Conspiracy Theory" that explains some of the facts and theories involved with Marilyn Monroe's death.
