Icon (hardback): What Killed Marilyn Monroe, Volume Two (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798887711911)

"Does anyone really want to know what caused the death of Marilyn Monroe?"

The long afterlife of cultural and cinematic icon Marilyn Monroe has created a tragic paradox. In this post-truth era, Monroe has been recast as a victim of powerful men, a virtual simulacrum of desire and death. The sensational narrative constantly regurgitated in media reports, books, and documentaries rests on a stacked deck of hearsay and outright lies. In an explosive takedown, Gary Vitacco-Robles unpacks the falsehoods perpetuated by a rogues' gallery of shadowy opportunists. With surgical skill, he separates fact from fiction, probable theory from outlandish rumor. As a mental health professional, the author is uniquely qualified to re-examine Monroe's lifelong struggle with mental illness and spiraling addiction to recklessly prescribed medications. Volume Two leaves no stone unturned in correcting misinformation and disinformation. Vitacco-Robles dissects forensic pathology, testimony from medical experts, telephone records, and psychiatric history. He scrutinizes Monroe's schedule against the President and Attorney General's, documents the medication prescribed in Monroe's last 60 days, investigates the alleged neighbor witness, and uncovers the unsavory backgrounds of those who accused others of murdering her. In this definitive study, the reader is presented with facts to finally learn the truth about how Monroe died and who was responsible.
