Media Portrayal
The Media portrayed her death as a suicidal attempt by her own hand. They believed that Marilyn was suffering a massive case of depression, as also explained by the pills she ingested barbiturate.
Biases
I think that she wasn't murdered like most think. She was suffering from depression which makes sense why she committed suicide. she felt like she needed a lot of pills to calm her depression down, so she took 40 of them.
Critisim's
Many assassination theorist's believe that Marilyn Monroe's death was a plotted murder by the Kennedy brothers to keep Marilyn's mouth shut about exposing the secret affairs they were having.
