As if the image of Elvis dead on the toilet isn't enough. I've never believed anyone would 'fake their death' that way, not someone with The King's ego.
But Marilyn draws a whole other type of conspiracy theory. Since she died before age could really take much of a toll (despite the hard-living), she's permanently a goddess of pop culture.
The conspiracy theories about Marilyn all have to do with whether she accidentally overdosed, killed herself on purpose, or was murdered. No one wants to find out she didn't die. No one is sexy at 79.
And from what little I know of the whole sordid business, the scene was contaminated from a forensics standpoint by everyone but Bigfoot. The chick was about to remarry Joe DiMaggio, she'd fooled around with the President and the Attorney General, both Kennedys, not to mention Sinatra, who didn't exactly run with a bunch of Boy Scouts. So if someone killed her, you've got a better chance of catching Bigfoot than the killer.
But what the Playboy bit has that is so far out, and John Miner doesn't seem an obvious crank, is the notion of 'how' she might have been murdered.
His theory: a Nembutal enema, given after she was already passed out from a chloryl hydrate sleeping pill. Talk about the valley of the dolls...

Sounds more like ‘hmm, sales are down…time to put Marylyn on the cover again’…
They killed Marilyn! You Bastards! I cannot ever look at her photo without getting that wave of emotion - so whatever 'it' is, she had it.
Re Elvis - dying on The Throne is very common and there is a medical reason for it I (am glad) I don't remember the details of.
I have just had email from my daughter who was in the motel next door to the hospital where he died, when it was demolished on Sunday morning. She had travelled there from a midnight visit to Hank's tombstone in Montgomery, so she is touching all the iconic bases on her trip. It is easy to loathe Bush (and Blair and Howard) but love America.
