Instead, Summers corroborates with several members of the ambulance team that Marilyn had in reality been taken to the hospital by ambulance late that evening still alive, and died en route to the hospital. In a new Netflix documentary, The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes, Monroe's biographer, Anthony Summers, presents a new timeline of events of the night Monroe died, deduced from hundreds of interviews conducted for an updated version of his 1985 biography, Goddess. Featuring new audio interviews with members of Dr. Greenson’s family, the new documentary addresses rumors and inconsistencies surrounding Monroe's death. Monroe's housekeeper, Eunice Murray, had awakened in the middle of the night to find a light on in Marilyn’s room and the door locked.

Emma Cooper had never seen a Marilyn Monroe film when she was approached to make a documentary about her.

“As a modern, middle-aged woman, I was surprised at how I could relate to her story,” she said. So I think she would have fared better today than she did then, and she probably would have fared better than a lot of other people today.” One of the film’s major themes is the inherent tension between who Marilyn Monroe was and who the world wanted her to be. “My obsession was to try and show her in a more multifaceted, more multidimensional way than I had ever known her,” Cooper said. “And so I felt like I could really connect with the arc of her life.

The Mystery of Marilyn includes so many interviews—many with people who were deeply pained by what had happened to her—that it may seem unfair to single out a few of the movie’s more crass figures. What’s more, hearing this now 40-year-old testimony from a relic of old Hollywood serves as a reminder of how the business used to work—and in that context, that it took until 2017 for Harvey Weinstein to fall seems all the more remarkable. And yet hearing an old coot salivating about how Marilyn used to “put out” comes off as yet another instance of how, even in 2022, we just can’t let Marilyn alone. This three-way friendship points directly to the shady circumstances surrounding Marilyn’s death—there’s no real news there, but even today, the degree of the brothers’ involvement with the star, and how it may have influenced or even caused her death, is still a subject of speculation. Those taped interviews, never available to the public, have been dramatized and shaped into the documentary The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes, directed by Emma Cooper and featuring Summers as a guide. As the case was being reopened, a British newspaper suggested that Irish-born journalist Anthony Summers might want to launch his own investigation, which resulted in 650 tape-recorded interviews and eventually led to a 1985 book, Goddess: The Secret Lives of Marilyn Monroe, which presented new and credible evidence about the events surrounding Marilyn’s death.

While JFK has no doubt been cemented as the more famous brother, private investigator Fred Otash told Spada that Bobby had ended things with Marilyn on the day of her death in August 1962. In fact, the extent of Marilyn’s relationships with Bobby and JFK varies from biographer to biographer. To the point that outside forces felt the need to step in and remove her from the equation? Instead, it focuses on recorded interviews with those who knew her, and their thoughts on her overdose, which continues to spark conspiracy theories to this day. She was smart, savvy and aware of the world.

For the past 60 years, there's been one story about Marilyn Monroe's death. Here's what to know about the new Netflix documentary that explores her death.

Cyril Wecht, a prominent forensic pathologist, told People that this suggests that “she might have been injected” with the drugs. The official word is that Marilyn died of an overdose. Writer John Sherlock also says in the doc that Greenson told him Marilyn was alive at home and died on the way to the hospital. The changing story, he says, “suggests that the circumstances of her dying were covered up.” "Bobby Kennedy called her the night of her death from [his sister's] house. [Greenson] told me he was in the ambulance.” Summers says in the documentary that it’s possible that “the Kennedys said, ‘Sh*t, she can make public that we’ve been discussing nuclear matters’….[and] thought, ‘We’ve got to stop all this. “No, she wasn’t [dead at home],” ambulance company owner Walter Schaefer says in the documentary. Murray had seen a light go on in Marilyn's room around 3:25 a.m., but found the door locked.
