Cold Case Geschichte S01E03 - Death Of An Icon – Marilyn Monroe

In August 1962, America lost its blonde angel: Marilyn Monroe died under mysterious circumstances. The official cause of death: "probably suicide." But that is more than doubtful. Her death is as contradictory as she is: Marilyn was dazzling and doubtful, glamorous and unhappy, a puritanical soul who sold sex and became a projection screen for generations. What really happened?

After her housekeeper discovers her body, six hours pass before the police are called - the officers find a beautifully draped body, sleeping pills in the blood but no pill residue in the stomach. Today no police files can be found. Several men play shadow roles in this drama: Marilyn's psychiatrist as well as two of the most powerful men in the world at the time: John F. and Bobby Kennedy.
