Anthony summers monroe6/12/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In the documentary, Murray states on tape that Robert Kennedy was at Monroe’s home in the afternoon on the day she died. Instead, Summers corroborates with several members of the ambulance team that Marilyn had in reality been taken to the hospital by ambulance late that evening still alive, and died en route to the hospital. My husband fudged everything off,” Jacobs’s wife says in the tape played in Netflix’s doc. “That’s not true, because my husband was there. According to the documentary, around 10:30pm on August 4, an attendant alerted Jacobs that something was terribly wrong while they were at the Hollywood Bowl-evidently, much earlier than the highly publicized 3:30am discovery of Monroe's dead body. An interview with the widow of Monroe’s press relations manager, Arthur Jacobs, produced the most significant breakthrough for Summers in disputing the well-known timeline of Monroe's death. ![]()
