On August 3, 1962, Monroe had trouble sleeping. Her psychiatrist, Ralph Gleeson, paid her a visit the next day. He was pleased there were no sleeping pills in her system. She was, however, having suicidal thoughts. At 3 AM on August 5, Gleeson received a call from Monroe's housekeeper. He rushed over to Monroe's place. Gleeson found Monroe with the phone clutched in her hand, face down on the pillow. An empty bottle of Nembutal, a powerful sleeping pill, was found next to her bed. The superstar was dead.
