Document 'links Bobby Kennedy to Monroe death'An Australian director has uncovered a document that suggests Robert Kennedy was aware of a plot to "induce" the suicide of Marilyn Monroe.
Bobby Kennedy was the brother of murdered US president John F Kennedy and served as US attorney-general from 1961 to 1964 before he was assassinated in 1968.
Philippe Mora, writing in Saturday's Fairfax newspapers, said Monroe was well known for staging suicide attempts as a form of attention seeking.
But he said he has uncovered a three-page document that reveals on August 4, 1962, she was left to die while attempting another attention seeking moment.
The report, handed to the FBI on October 19, 1964, implicates the actor Peter Lawford, Monroe's psychiatrist, her housekeeper and personal secretary in the 36-year-old actresses death.
It states Lawford made "special arrangements" with the psychiatrist that saw Monroe given a high quantity of her prescription medication.
"Marilyn expected to have her stomach pumped out and get sympathy for her suicide attempt," the report states.
It said on the same day Kennedy made a phone call from St Charles Hotel, San Francisco to Lawford "to find out if Marilyn was dead yet".
Mora, who is based in Los Angeles, has found the document, compiled by an unnamed former special agent, among thousands of pages released under freedom of information laws in October.
The report, titled simply Robert F Kennedy, is not sourced or authenticated but it was circulated to the FBI's five most senior officers, Mora said.

This has been rumored for years. It was a silent assumption that Peter lawford had something to do with it but they tried to keep the kennedys squeaky clean in it. It will be interesting to hear what comes of this.
