Marilyn Monroe, an iconic figure in American culture, has been the subject of numerous conspiracy theories, especially surrounding her death. Here are some of the most prominent ones:

This theory posits that Monroe was murdered to prevent her from revealing her alleged affairs with President John F. Kennedy and his brother, Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy. Proponents suggest that Monroe knew sensitive information that could have damaged the Kennedys’ careers.

Another theory suggests that the CIA or FBI were involved in Monroe's death due to her connections with the Kennedys and possible knowledge of state secrets. This theory often includes claims that Monroe was under surveillance by these agencies.

Some believe that Monroe's death was orchestrated by organized crime figures. This theory suggests that mobsters wanted to leverage her connections to the Kennedys or silence her due to her involvement in their activities.

A less nefarious but still conspiratorial theory is that Monroe’s death was the result of an accidental overdose, but this fact was covered up to protect certain individuals or institutions. This theory usually points to inconsistencies in the official autopsy report and the handling of the investigation.

There are claims that Monroe's psychiatrist, Dr. Ralph Greenson, inadvertently caused her death by administering an overdose of barbiturates. Some versions of this theory suggest that Greenson’s actions were part of a larger conspiracy.

Another less common theory suggests that Monroe was involved with communist sympathizers or was herself a communist, leading to her being targeted by anti-communist elements within the government or elsewhere.

Some theories highlight Monroe's supposed knowledge that she was being watched and her phones were tapped. This surveillance was allegedly due to her connections with influential figures and her potential threat of exposing damaging information.

Dr. Hyman Engelberg, Monroe’s personal physician, is also implicated in some theories, with suggestions that his actions or inactions contributed to her untimely death, either intentionally or accidentally.

These conspiracy theories often cite inconsistencies in official reports, conflicting witness statements, and the chaotic nature of Monroe’s personal life as evidence. However, it is important to note that no conclusive evidence has emerged to definitively prove any of these theories, and the official cause of death remains a probable suicide due to an overdose of barbiturates.
