Le samedi 18 août 1962, Theodore J. Curphey, coroner médecin légiste du comté de Los Angeles, en compagnie des Docteurs Robert Litman et Norman Farberow, qui composent l'unité de prévention du suicide, tiennent une conférence de presse à Los Angeles pour communiquer leur conclusion quand au décès de Marilyn Monroe. Le Dr Curphey rend son rapport de conclusion où il annonce devant les journalistes: "Ma conclusion est que la mort de Marilyn Monroe a été provoquée par l'autoadministration de drogues sédatives et qu'il s'agit probablement d'un suicide". 
Le rapport toxicologique final révèle que le barbiturique, précédemment rapporté comme dose létale, a été positivement identifié comme étant du Nembutal, une large quantité d'hydrate de chloral.
La conclusion officielle des recherches du médecin toxicologue R.J. Abernethy sur les origines de sa mort fut: "Empoisonnement par babituriques - overdose par ingestion".

Description: In the early-morning hours of August 5, 1962, Los Angeles County deputy coroner Ben Fitzgerald arrives at the home of the world’s most famous movie star, now lying dead in her bedroom. There he discovers The Book of Secrets—Marilyn Monroe’s diary—revealing a doomed love affair with a man she refers to only as “The General.” In the following days, Ben unravels a cover-up that implicates the Kennedys, the Mafia, and the CIA. Soon the sinister and surreal accounts recorded in The Book bleed into Ben’s own life, and he finds himself trapped—like Monroe—in a deepening paranoid conspiracy. A knockout combination of fact and legend, The Empty Glass is a riveting debut thriller.

Description: It is one of the greatest mysteries of the twentieth century. How did Marilyn Monroe die? Although no pills were found in her stomach during the autopsy, it was still documented in the Los Angeles coroner's report that she had swallowed sixty-four sleeping pills prior to her demise. In Marilyn Monroe: A Case for Murder, biographer Jay Margolis presents the most thorough investigation of Marilyn Monroe's death to date and shares how he reached the definitive conclusion that she was murdered.
Margolis meticulously dissects the events leading up to her death, revealing a major conspiracy and countless lies. In an exclusive interview with actress Jane Russell three months before her death, he reveals Russell's belief that Monroe was murdered and points the finger at the man she held responsible. While examining the actions of Peter Lawford, Bobby Kennedy, and Monroe's psychiatrist, Dr. Ralph Greenson, Margolis establishes a timeline of her last day alive that leads to shocking revelations.
In August 1962, Marilyn Monroe's lifeless body was found on her bed, leaving all to wonder what really happened to the beautiful young starlet. Marilyn Monroe: A Case for Murder provides a fascinating examination of one of the most puzzling deaths of all time.
