Jack Clemmons
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jack Clemmons (1922-1998) was a Los Angeles Police Sergeant who was the first Police officer to arrive at the death scene of Marilyn Monroe on August 5, 1962, at 4:45 AM. He received a call at 4:25 telling him Marilyn Monroe was dead. Clemmons thought that Monroe was murdered and that her place was a staged death scene. He made some major accusations that the LAPD were involved in a cover up.[1]
He had stated that when he entered Monroe's house, the maid was washing the laundry (at 4:45 am) and that Monroe's room appeared as though it had been cleaned prior to his arrival. In Clemmons's own words: "Marilyn was lying face down in what I call the soldier's position," said Clemmons. "Her hands were by her side and her legs were stretched out perfectly straight. It was the most obviously staged death scene I have ever seen. The pill bottles on her bedside table had been arranged in neat order and the body deliberately positioned. It all looked too tidy."[2]
