Netflix's latest documentary, "The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes," explores the convoluted investigation behind the death of Marilyn Monroe. On August 4, 1962, Monroe was found dead in her Brentwood home after suffering from acute barbiturate poisoning. Her cause of death was immediately ruled as an overdose, but many were quick to suggest there was more to it than that and speculated that she perhaps died of suicide or was killed by a known acquaintance.
Almost 60 years later, Monroe's troubling life and death are once again being revisited, this time through a series of tapes obtained and collected by investigative journalist Anthony Summers. The audio recordings, which were never publicly released prior to the documentary, features confessionals from members of Monroe's inner circles, including Hollywood elites, prominent casting agents and her closest companions.
