The coroner also allegedly took samples from Marilyn’s stomach and small intestines and asked the toxicologist to do tests on them, but they were never done. Cyril Wecht, a prominent forensic pathologist, told People that this suggests that “she might have been injected” with the drugs. However, no water glass was found in her room, which she would have likely needed to swallow all those pills, and there was no pill residue in her stomach. And an autopsy report found that Marilyn died from acute combined drug toxicity, chloral hydrate (a calming medication usually used on patients before surgeries), and Nembutal (a sedative and anticonvulsant), according to People, and pill bottles were found by her bed. The official word is that Marilyn died of an overdose. Marilyn didn't leave any notes behind, the Times reported. (Doctors said they needed permission from Marilyn’s movie studio before alerting the authorities.) Marilyn was pronounced dead, but police weren’t called until 4:20 a.m., about an hour after Murray had initially called Greenson. Inside, Greenson found her lifeless, with one hand clutching a phone.
