Death Scene Per GreensonDr. Greenson also stated that he found Marilyn with her hand on the phone in his letter to Dr. Marianne Kris dated August 17th, 1962.“I could see from many feet away that Marilyn was no longer living. There she was, lying face down on the bed, bare shoulders exposed, and as I got closer I could see the phone clutched fiercely in her right hand. I suppose she was trying to make a phone call before she was overwhelmed. It was just unbelievable, so simple and final and over.”
