Don't know about anyone else, but it seemed to me that she lived her life very much like a candle in the wind.

Murdered ? ? ?

We'll never know.

The candle burned out long before the conspiracy theories ever did, that's for sure.

I am not convinced her death was an accident. However I am on a lot of medication 15 tablets per day plus others prn. Mum has always insisted I make up my pills for the week she says because I don't want to end up like Marilyn Monroe!! I do have a couple of drinks before I go to bed and once several years ago I forgot I had taken 2 painkillers and took an extra 2. It is very easy done. I was ok I slept for 12 hours but since then I started making up my pills in a 7 day dispenser divided into breakfast lunch dinner and bedtime.

I vividly remember the next day when the news broke. As a family we were on a picnic watching a Sunday afternoon country cricket match on a small green. My father had the radio on and we heard the news that she had been found dead. It was one of those "never forget" moments and quite sobering.

true, gordie, I take far fewer pills than you but I still bollix them up sometimes, it's easy done.

always thought she was over rated, she was a pinup basically turned actresss back in her day, no liz taylor for sure in looks or acting, was she bumped off, erm she had dirt on the kennedy brothers?
