SCANDAL ROCKS HOLLYWOOD: MARILYN MONROE DEAD AT 36

In a shocking turn of events, beloved actress and sex symbol Marilyn Monroe has been found dead in her Los Angeles home at the age of 36. The news has sent shockwaves throughout the entertainment industry, with fans and colleagues alike left reeling from the sudden loss.

Sergeant Jack Clemmons, a seasoned homicide investigator with the Los Angeles Police Department, was the first to arrive on the scene. He had been called by Dr. Hyman Engelberg, Marilyn's physician, who reported that she had taken her own life. But as Clemmons began to investigate, he couldn't shake off the feeling that something wasn't quite right.

The actress had struggled with prescription drug addiction in the final years of her life and was surrounded by multiple pill bottles when she was found dead

As he entered Marilyn's bungalow, he was greeted by Eunice Murray, the actress's loyal housekeeper. She seemed calm and composed, but there was a hint of unease in her voice as she led Clemmons to the bedroom where Marilyn's body lay.

The room was in disarray, with clothes and handbags scattered everywhere. The window was shattered, and Clemmons noticed that the broken glass had been recently replaced by two doctors who claimed to have entered through the window. Dr. Engelberg and Dr. Greenson, both of whom were on duty at the nearby Cedars of Lebanon Hospital, seemed shaken but cooperative as they explained their role in the events leading up to Marilyn's death.

But Clemmons was not convinced. He had a nagging feeling that something wasn't adding up. Where was the drinking glass, for instance? And why did Dr. Greenson claim to have broken into the house through the window when there were no signs of forced entry?

Pills can be seen on Marilyn's nightstand in the bedroom where she was discovered dead, as well as a diary and an expensive face cream. Sergeant Jack Clemmons stated there was no glass near the bed - though this has been disputed

As he questioned the doctors and the housekeeper, Clemmons began to piece together a timeline of events leading up to Marilyn's death. It seemed that she had been struggling with personal demons in recent weeks, including a tumultuous relationship with her husband, Arthur Miller.

But just as Clemmons was starting to make sense of the situation, a surprise visitor arrived at the scene. Norman Jeffries, a local handyman, claimed to have been called by Marilyn's housekeeper to fix a broken window. But what seemed like a routine repair turned out to be anything but ordinary.

The news of Marilyn's death had already spread like wildfire through the neighborhood, and Clemmons estimated that there were at least 20-30 reporters and onlookers waiting outside the house. It was clear that this story would not rest until all the details were exposed.

As the investigation continues, one thing is certain: the glamorous world of Hollywood has been forever changed by the tragic loss of its brightest star. The question now is: what secrets lay hidden behind the glittering facade of Marilyn Monroe's life?
