Paul Holes Flags 1962 Marilyn Monroe Death-Scene Gaps as FOX Special Reopens Suicide Questions

Summary
Paul Holes says Marilyn Monroe’s 1962 death scene contains inconsistencies that merit renewed scrutiny, arguing the original investigation was poorly documented and should have been handled as a possible homicide first.
One surviving scene photo shows Monroe lying in a neatly arranged bed beside carefully positioned pill bottles, Holes said, details he argues do not fit a typical overdose scene.
The biggest forensic contradiction, he said, is that a bottle filled with 50 Nembutal capsules two days earlier was empty, yet no barbiturate residue was found in Monroe’s stomach; authorities said the drugs may already have been absorbed.
Holes also points to an hour-long delay before police were called, questions over Monroe’s prescriptions from two doctors, and witness avenues that could still be explored even though most firsthand witnesses are dead.
The claims are featured in FOX’s June 21 special using AI to reconstruct Monroe’s home, revisiting a death officially ruled a probable suicide and reexamined without criminal findings in 1982.
