The day before her mysterious death, Marilyn Monroe signed a check for the purchase of an inexpensive chest of drawers.
“Half the world dreamed of being in bed with Marilyn Monroe, but the cherished dream of the most beautiful woman in the world, it turns out, was a chest of drawers,” the author writes, wondering: “Why would a person who decided to commit suicide sign a check on the eve of the decisive step to bring in the house is not the most expensive piece of furniture?"
“The check for the purchase of a chest of drawers in the Pilgrim furniture store in Los Angeles is dated August 4, 1962, that is, it was signed the day before the tragic August 5, when the film star's body was discovered. We are talking about the amount of $ 228.80. Of course, at the Heritage Foundation in Beverly Hills, where 15 more items belonging to Marilyn will be on display, the original price will be much higher: $ 8,000. But why exactly this check can be the key to solving the infinite detective story?"
“According to the famous psychologist David Bernstein, people who are on the verge of suicide very often show their intentions in other types of suicide: for example, they spend and spend. The shopping process makes you feel better, to some extent it is a free behavior that can clear your brain and wallet. But that's where the strangeness lies. Monroe acquires only one item, moreover, an item that is used daily. And this check indicates that a person intends to walk on this earth for a long time. “If we do a“psychological autopsy,”this check is the most intriguing find. It suggests that Monroe had no intention of dying, the author of the article says.
“That tragic night, Marilyn was supposed to have a date with Robert Kennedy, but he never showed up, which left the actress in a state of despair and stress. In other words, the mystery remains unsolved: was the overdose of barbiturates an accident or a desperate choice?"
