slurred. As the dark and
depressing evening for
Marilyn wore on there
were other phone calls,
including one from Jose
Belanos, who said he
thought she sounded fine.
According to the funeral
directors, Marilyn died
sometime between 9:30pm
and 11:30pm. Her maid
unable to raise her but
seeing a light under her
locked door, called the
JOY FEELINGS MAGAZINE
police shortly after
midnight. She also phoned
Ralph Greenson who, on
arrival, could not break
down the bedroom door.
He eventually broke in
through French windows
and found Marilyn dead in
bed. The corner stated she
had died from acute
barbiturate poisoning, and
it was a 'probable suicide'
