20 Celebrity Murders That Rocked The World

17. Marilyn Monroe

Another recurring thing in the early entries in this list is this: either a lot of famous Hollywood celebrities were murdered under mysterious circumstances, or sleeping pills in the middle of the 20th century were no laughing matter. Take Marilyn Monroe – a notoriously-depressed star who was found with a bottle of sleeping pills beside her. Many people speculate that Marilyn had been planning on going public with her relationship with President Kennedy, and was killed before that could happen.
