Rare Facts You Never Knew About Marilyn Monroe

Final Months

During the end of her life, Monroe lived alone at 12305 5th Helena Drive. One night, housekeeper Eunice Murray was sleeping over to watch the premises. At 3:00 a.m., Murray awoke with a feeling that something was amiss. A light was glowing from underneath Monroe's bedroom door. She knocked but there was no answer. The door was locked. 

Final Moments

Murray, knowing something was wrong, called Monroe's psychiatrist. Dr. Ralph Greenson was quickly at the house and broke into the bedroom via a window.  What he found was Monroe's dead body in her bed. Her physician, Dr. Hyman Engelberg, showed up at 3:50 a.m. and pronounced her dead. LAPD was notified at 4:25 a.m.
