[3] According to a 1982 inquest led by Attorney General John Van de Kamp, "Based on the evidence available to us it appears that her death could have been a suicide or a result of an accidental drug overdose... It is possible that while her ingestion of a lethal quantity of barbiturates was voluntary, she may have been in such a state of emotional confusion that she lacked a clearly formed purpose." Speculation that she was the subject of murder was dismissed out of hand. See "Los Angeles Inquiry on Marilyn Monroe Rules Out Murder", Associated Press, 29 December 1982.
[4] Monroe describes a sexual liaison with Joan Crawford in audio recordings of her psychiatry sessions, released in 2006: "Next time I saw Crawford, she said she wanted another round. I told her straight-out I didn't much enjoy doing it with a woman. After I turned her down, she became spiteful."
