After 60 years, Marilyn Monroe’s Autopsy Coroner Makes Surprising Allegations
More than sixty years after the sudden death of Marilyn Monroe, the doctor who examined her body has gone public with a claim that reopens one of Hollywood’s darkest mysteries. Monroe, the world’s most famous blonde bombshell of the 1950s and early 1960s, was only 36 when she was found dead in her Los Angeles home in 1962. Now, Thomas Noguchi, the young deputy coroner who performed her autopsy at the time, has admitted that the details of Marilyn Monroe’s autopsy are still troubling today, suggesting that the truth about her final hours may not have been told.
Who was Marilyn Monroe?
Marilyn Monroe, born Norma Jeane Mortenson in 1926, became one of Hollywood’s most enduring icons. Known for her platinum blonde hair, red lipstick, and sweet voice, she went from being an adopted child to an international star. He has appeared in over 30 films, incl Men Like Blondes, Others Like It Hotagain The Seven Year Itch. His films have made billions worldwide today, cementing him as one of the most bankable stars of his time.
Events Leading To His Death
In the weeks leading up to her death, Monroe was reportedly suffering from insomnia, depression, and work interruptions. He has been fired and rehired from film jobs. She was rumored to be involved in a complicated personal relationship, including alleged affairs with President John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert. On the night he died, police records say there were several bottles of pills.
Marilyn Monroe’s Autopsy Raised Questions
Thomas Noguchi, then a new deputy coroner in Los Angeles County, was assigned to conduct Marilyn Monroe’s autopsy. According to his latest accounts as reported in his book LA Coronerhe soon noticed several contradictions. Although toxicology results revealed lethal levels of Nembutal and chloral hydrate in his system, Noguchi found no evidence of indigestible pills in his stomach or intestines. This absence suggested that the medication may not have been received orally.
Missing tests and missing samples
Noguchi collected various organ and tissue samples for further analysis, but says those tests were stopped early by a toxicologist when lethal levels of the drugs were identified. However, he later learned that further testing was stopped by a toxicologist, who decided that the lethal levels already found were sufficient to conclude that he had committed suicide. Most importantly, the remaining samples were discarded before further testing. This decision, said Noguchi, left him worried.
His Suspicions Sixty Years Later
Now, 98 years old, Noguchi has spoken openly about his suspicions. He suggested that the failure to conduct a complete toxicological examination created a permanent gap in understanding the true cause of Monroe’s death. Noguchi has shown that, without complete toxicity data, other causes such as injection could not be ruled out – details noted for the first time LA Coronerand was recently featured on the cover of LADbible. While he stopped short of saying for sure that Monroe was murdered, he later suggested that institutional flexibility may have discouraged a thorough investigation into other causes of death.

A Life Surrounded by Rumors
The lack of conclusive forensic results has fueled decades of speculation. Some theories suggest that Monroe was silenced because of her relationship with alleged influencers. Others point to his fragile mental health and history of drug abuse as indicators of suicide. Noguchi’s revelation that he asked if he had been part of an unintentional “cover-up” only added to the cloud of mystery that continues to surround his death.
Interesting Family Facts
Marilyn Monroe’s family history was as turbulent as her public life. His mother, Gladys Pearl Baker, suffered from severe mental illness and spent much of her life in institutions. Monroe never knew her father and spent much of her childhood in foster homes and orphanages. Despite this instability, he had a strong will to succeed. Few know that he had a half-sister, Berniece Baker Miracle, who survived him and published a memoir about their relationship.
Marilyn’s Lasting Legacy
Despite the scandal and speculation, Monroe’s cultural impact cannot be overstated. She helped redefine Hollywood’s image of femininity, balancing innocence and sensuality. His rendition of “Happy Birthday” to President Kennedy in 1962 remains one of the most infamous pop moments in American history. Despite his struggles, he left behind a body of work that continues to captivate audiences and inspire new generations.
Why His Death Still Matters
The lingering doubts about Monroe’s death remind us of the fragile nature of celebrity privacy and power in mid-20th century America. Whether he died by his own hand or by foul play, the lack of a thorough and thorough investigation has ensured that speculation will never end; some people today even believe that he is still alive. Noguchi’s words, six decades later, reopen wounds that have never truly healed, reminding the world that truth may remain forever elusive.
Marilyn Monroe’s Life Was a Study in Contrast
It is universally worshiped but lonely, successful but insecure, powerful but vulnerable. The doubt raised by Thomas Noguchi after 60 years proves how enduring his story is, both as a cautionary tale and as a symbol of Hollywood’s golden age. Until conclusive evidence emerges, Monroe’s death will remain one of the most intriguing mysteries of modern celebrity culture.
