Was Marilyn Murdered?

A check signed
by Marilyn Monroe the day before her death proves she was not planning
to kill herself, according to a forensic psychologist.

The actress
used the check, which is now being auctioned off, to purchase a
white chest of drawers worth $228.80 from Pilgrim’s Furniture, an
act Harvard-trained Dr S. David Bernstein believes is inconsistent
with someone contemplating suicide.

Dr Bernstein
said people about to take their own lives often engage in shopping
sprees, but the fact all Ms Monroe bought was the chest of drawers
suggests she was planning to be around to use it.

‘What my thoughts
are is that this purchase wouldn’t be consistent with planning to
kill yourself,’ he told MailOnline.

‘A chest of
drawers is a very personal item, and fairly low cost, and that is
indicative that she was making plans for herself in the future.’

The historic
check, dated August 4, 1962, is among a collection of 15 items being
sold by Heritage Auctions to commemorate Marilyn Monroe, 50 years
after her untimely death.

Ms Monroe’s
death was ruled a probable suicide.
