WARNING: This article contains graphic photographs of dead bodies. In recent decades many groups have released photos of famous leaders to prove that they are indeed dead. This list includes some of those as well as famous celebrity photos. This list is not for the faint of heart. Click images for a larger view.
1. Marilyn Monroe
Monroe was found dead by her housekeeper on August 5, 1962. Her death was ruled as an overdose of sleeping pills. Questions remain about the circumstances and timeline of housekeeper Eunice Murray’s discovery of Monroe’s body. Also, some conspiracy theories involve John and Robert Kennedy. The official cause of her death was “probable suicide”.
2. John F Kennedy
President Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas at 12:30pm Central Standard Time on November 22, 1963, while on a political trip through Texas. He was pronounced dead at 1:00pm. Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested, in a theatre about 80 minutes after the assassination and was charged by Dallas police for the murder of Dallas policeman J.D. Tippit, before eventually being charged for the murder of Kennedy.
3. Pol Pot
On the night of April 15, 1998 the Voice of America, of which Pol Pot was a devoted listener, announced that the Khmer Rouge had agreed to turn him over to an international tribunal. According to his wife, he died in his bed later in the night while waiting to be moved to another location. Ta Mok claimed that his death was due to heart failure.
4. Che Guevara
After capture in Bolivia, Guevara was taken to a dilapidated schoolhouse in the nearby village of La Higuera where he was held overnight. Early the next afternoon he was executed. The executioner was Mario Terán, a Sergeant in the Bolivian army who had drawn a short straw after arguments over who got the honour of killing Guevara broke out among the soldiers.
5. Benito Mussolini
On 28 April, Mussolini and his mistress were both shot, along with most of the members of their fifteen-man train, primarily ministers and officials of the Italian Social Republic. The shootings took place in the small village of Giulino di Mezzegra.
6. Nicolae Ceausescu
On December 25, Ceausescu and his wife were condemned to death by a military court on charges ranging from illegal gathering of wealth to genocide, and were executed in Târgovişte, Romania. Before they were shot dead, Ceauşescu sang part of “The Internationale” and proclaimed that history would judge him well. His wife was screaming at everyone to go to hell.
7. Mao Tse-Tung
Mao Tse-Tung was a Chinese military and political leader, who led the Communist Party of China (CPC) to victory against the Kuomintang (KMT) in the Chinese Civil War, and was the leader of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) from its establishment in 1949 until his death in 1976. Under his leadership, China suffered the Cultural Revolution, a struggle for power within the Communist Party that manifested into wide-scale social, political, and economic chaos, which grew to include large sections of Chinese society and eventually brought the entire country to the brink of civil war. There are estimates of up to 500,000 deaths as a result of Mao’s policies.
8. Saddam Hussein
Saddam was hanged on the first day of Eid ul-Adha, December 30, 2006, despite his wish to be shot (which he felt would be more dignified). The execution was carried out at “Camp Justice,” an Iraqi army base in Kadhimiya, a neighborhood of northeast Baghdad. The execution was videotaped on a mobile phone, showing Saddam being taunted before his hanging. The video was leaked to electronic media, becoming the subject of global controversy.
9. Vladimir Lenin
Lenin died on January 21, 1924, aged 53. Rumors of Lenin having syphilis sprang up shortly after his death. The official cause given for Lenin’s death was cerebral arteriosclerosis, or a fourth stroke. But out of the 27 physicians who treated him, only eight signed onto that conclusion in his autopsy report. Therefore, several other theories regarding his death have been put forward.
10. Hermann Goering
Goering (second in charge of Nazi Germany) was found guilty on four counts raised against him: of conspiracy to wage war, crimes against peace, war crimes and crimes against humanity. No mitigating circumstances were found and he was sentenced to death by hanging. He asked to be executed by firing squad – the request was refused. On 15th October 1946, two hours before his execution was due to take place, Goering committed suicide in his Nuremberg cell, taking a capsule of poison that he had succeeded in hiding during his imprisonment.

wow..i didn’t know they had pics like these. the kennedy image is shocking.
what’s up with the monroe pic? it looks mummified.
September 6th, 2007 at 8:11 am
Man Mussolini looked like the elephant man by the time they were done with him.
September 6th, 2007 at 8:28 am
dalandzadgad: I think it just goes to show how much of her beauty in life was in the makeup!
Joe: While he was hanging up (dead) his body was attacked and defiled by the public who hated him. That photo is actually upside down – it was taken when he was hanging from his feet.
September 6th, 2007 at 11:05 am
Well, as for Hitler, i personally believe that he did not commit suicide, but really fled to South America, and lived for some time.
As his corpse was never found, i like this conspiracy theory.
September 6th, 2007 at 11:24 am
steve: fair comment – but what about the photo? Do you think it is a fraud?
September 6th, 2007 at 11:40 am
I was pretty sure the Mussilini shot was upside down. Otherwise rigor mortis really did weird things to him.
The JFK shot really shocked me.
September 6th, 2007 at 12:41 pm
RobS: He and his mistress were shot standing up and then hung upside from butcher hooks as a warning to other fascists and for the public to have their go at him. As for the JFK shot – I picked the less horrific of the two public photos. You don’t want to see the other.
September 6th, 2007 at 3:59 pm
for some reason the last sentance in the paragraph about Nicolae Ceausescu made me laugh. Everything up until then was all sad and serious then the last line was just so random.
I think Marilyn Monroe looked so weird was because her hair was wet and pushed back. We’re all used to seeing her with blond poofy short hair, plus it’s a black and white picture of someone who’s been dead for probably a day or 2, so you’re gonna look different after that.
September 6th, 2007 at 6:52 pm
hey where the hell is elvis’s coffin shot – it made the enquirer a fortune…
September 6th, 2007 at 6:56 pm
On the notion that Hitler escaped Berlin…there is a really interesting book out there called “Stuka Pilot,” by Nazi Germany’s top Stuka ace, Hans-Ulrich Rudel. Rudel was a staunch supporter of the Riech and of the invasion of the Soviet Union in particular. Anyway, he gives an interesting account of how, during the final hours of the Battle of Berlin, he was confident he could have landed his Stuka on the street outside fo the bunker and could have flown hitler to safety. He implored Hitler to take the plan, but Hitler, Rudel says, refused. Shortly afterwards, the Bunker fell. To me, that puts a pretty big nail in the coffin of this particular conspiracy theory.
Oh, cool list, BTW. jfrater strikes again! That photo of Marilyn was pretty off-putting. I also remember when they killed Ceaucescu. That guy really struck me as being the architect of his own downfall.
September 6th, 2007 at 8:29 pm
Monroe was found lying face down (some say staged) but the photo appears to show some lividity (blood pooling) or Tardieu’s ecchymoses (burst capillaries) on her face – difficult to say for sure.
The Kennedy photo you chose is disturbing (the large hole in his neck is from a tracheotomy + bullet entry wound) but definitely not as gruesome as the one showing the back of his head decimated by the projectile.
September 6th, 2007 at 10:46 pm
TFullerman – thanks for the analysis – very interesting.
Bill: Thanks for that – it is an interesting tale – I definitely believe he died in the bunker. And you are right about Ceausescu (who has one of the most difficult names to spell that I have come across on this site!)
Pat: how can that be… Elvis is still alive….
Taranis: you are right about Marilyn. And the funny comment on #8 seemed appropriate to show how crazy she was.
Oh – just joking about Elvis
September 7th, 2007 at 9:52 am
Great list. Listverse is now on my list of websites that I check almost everyday! Always interesting!
Thanks!
September 7th, 2007 at 11:14 am
Hannah: Thanks
It is very nice to know that my efforts are being so well enjoyed!
September 8th, 2007 at 1:08 am
Very interesting list. Those photos are very striking. I was in a comic book shop once, that had for purchase a card set featuring images from the “Zapruder film” and images from JFK’s autopsy.
They were sitting along side some of those Serial killer trading cards. At the time I didn’t find them of interest. I wish now I would have purchased
them. They most likely held some very rare images.
September 8th, 2007 at 1:43 am
NightProwler: that would be an interesting set of cards to own – I agree you should have bought them
September 8th, 2007 at 9:31 am
nice list. more morbid lists will be cool.
September 8th, 2007 at 9:39 am
inanytime: thanks – I am glad you like it – I was a bit worried about putting such a morbid list on the site but if people like it I can create a million more
Maybe I need to add a NSFW category.
September 9th, 2007 at 9:45 pm
There is a whole set of JFK autopsy photos at this link. (Graphic)

September 9th, 2007 at 11:09 pm
ZeTron: Thanks for that – excellent.
September 10th, 2007 at 9:03 pm
The picture of ‘Hitler’ is not of Hitler. This is a very famous picture of a dead German soldier who had a Hitler-style moustache, which for some years after the war was publicised as a photo of the dead Fuhrer, but this has been thoroughly debunked. You can research this if you wish. No photos of Hitler’s corpse were taken, for the same reason they torched his body: Hitler didn’t want to be posthumously mocked like Mussolini, either in photos or real life.
Hitler didn’t shoot himself in the forehead (as shown in this photo, which has a bullet hole in the forehead). He shot himself in the temple (side of the head). All of this is pretty well known.
September 10th, 2007 at 11:41 pm
Aramus: thanks for that – how dissapointing! I will seek out a replacement corpse!
September 11th, 2007 at 5:35 am
Okay – I have updated this list by replacing Hitler with Mao Tse-tung.
September 21st, 2007 at 11:41 am
“I was a bit worried about putting such a morbid list on the site but if people like it I can create a million more Maybe I need to add a NSFW category.”
Yes, yes, please do! The morbid ones are my favorite! Love this site!!
September 21st, 2007 at 1:10 pm
Anna: you have me convinced – I will add a NSWF category tomorrow. Now I just need to think of the most disgusting horrific NSFW top 10 list to launch the category. Any ideas?
September 28th, 2007 at 1:17 am
Every year in my country (Romania) around christmas, they show on tv videos of the trial of Nicolae and Ileana Ceausescu, and i must tell you…it’s hillarious!
At one point when she realizes that thing’s gone bad she says to some soldiers somethin’ like “common’ kids, don’t be mean”
September 28th, 2007 at 1:41 am
yaurt: wow – if there is a video of that on the net it would be good to add it here as an extra.
October 13th, 2007 at 5:54 pm
About Che Guevara: the Bolivians were urged by CIA agents to execute Che right in that place, they wanted him dead.
October 13th, 2007 at 11:32 pm
karlontxo: I guess it was probably safer to do it immediately and not run the risk of him escaping and causing more damage. Having said that, if he had just been put in jail for life we probably wouldn’t have to bear seeing his image on the teenager’s tee-shirts who have no idea what he did.
November 2nd, 2007 at 3:03 pm
i dont think the jfk one is disturbing at all ive seen photos of bodies that are half soup. Marilyn Monroes photo doesnt tell us that most of her beauty was in the makeup because her body was left for 2 days in the morgue and before it was even claimed so she was dead nearly a week before burial, when my friend died her body looked awful and she was one of the prettiest girls i know so death has a veyr negative impact on your physical appearance just incase people thought that marilyn was ugly
November 7th, 2007 at 5:59 pm
Funny that people who log onto a website looking for photos of dead people then refer to them as “gruesome”. What were they expecting?
I think you should add some more photos. How about the guy who had his arms and legs chopped off by the crowd and then had his torso paraded around town in a wheelbarrow?
( Who was that guy, anyway? )
As noted in a BBC article about the public release of photos Uday and Qusay Hussein’s dead bodies, the practice goes back to ancient Greece, and definitely serves a political and public purpose.
I’d like to see more photos of dead U.S. Presidents, particularly those who have been in office during the 21st century.
November 23rd, 2007 at 10:41 pm
Where’d my original comment go?
November 27th, 2007 at 7:53 am
Enjoying the website. Marilyn and JFK are shocking. When I first stumbled on this site in the last week or so, I checked memorable talk show appearances and one of the more interesting ones was of MM. That be why the shock value went up for me.
December 6th, 2007 at 2:49 am
Wait a second… dude, you know what body’s left??? … the mo*****ng of “Augusto Pinochet”
December 6th, 2007 at 2:53 am
Sean: when did you post it? Is it possible it got lost in the change of hosts?
Waldo: I can see that a second one of these lists is going to be needed
December 6th, 2007 at 3:00 am
you know about Pinochet?…a danm Republican of Chile…who killed Thousand maybe millions of innocent people on that country…you really need a photo of him…
GRUNGE STILL ALIVE!
hERE FROM CHILE gIVING A BREAKFAST…
December 6th, 2007 at 3:01 am
Waldo: I do know who Pinochet was – when I used to watch television I saw him on the news.
December 6th, 2007 at 3:06 am
oooooooooooh man i’m soory about u…but you know who cares me more…?..the thousand lonely families here in chile…whitout an answer about them, housben, brother, mother, or even wrost…them childs….it’s really painfull…
December 6th, 2007 at 3:07 am
their…
December 6th, 2007 at 3:09 am
Waldo: I agree – the actions of men like Pinochet do a lot more damage than people realize. They can cause suffering for generations to come.
December 6th, 2007 at 3:15 am
yeah men…you’re the man … hey how about if i contact you..4 talk…and in that way, you can teach me more english…and i teach you ESPAÑOL…wath do u think?…my messenger is … childrenofkorn08@msn.com
December 6th, 2007 at 3:22 am
Waldo: I am actually working on a big project for work at the moment so I don’t have enough time to chat – though I would certainly love to learn Spanish
Thanks for the generous offer.
December 6th, 2007 at 3:23 am
come on…
December 6th, 2007 at 1:05 pm
Where’s King Tutankhamun? Out of all the people on the list, I seriously doubt any of them will still be as well-known in a thousand years or so.
December 14th, 2007 at 10:00 pm
omg is that a cockroach coming out of j f kennedy
?
December 15th, 2007 at 1:52 am
nano: I think it is blood.
Kevin: that is a good point – I was including modern people only – but he would certainly be a worthwhile bonus item. I may amend this list in the future.
January 1st, 2008 at 1:20 am
re the Monroe picture. I have a book called Unnatural Death, written by Michael Barden MD, an ex-Chief Medical Examiner for the City of NY (ISBN : 0 7474 0813 0)
That photo is in the book, and here is a direct quote from Barden : “the picture was taken after autopsy and it is the pathologist’s work that caused the face to sag. Before the procedure, say those present, the lifeless Marilyn remained beautiful”.
January 1st, 2008 at 1:43 am
kiwiboi – yeah, i understand an autopsy can take a lot outa ya. *rimshot*
i know..i’m bad. *slaps hand* couldn’t resist. and yes, i’m a die hard MM fan. okay..i’ll stop now.
January 1st, 2008 at 2:21 am
I’d hate to think what I’ll look like when I’m dead. I already look gruesome on my best days.
January 1st, 2008 at 2:36 am
I forgot to put my *rimshot*
January 6th, 2008 at 6:27 pm
steve- well, actually, soviet soldiers found Hitlers charred remains in the back of the Reichstag, and the dental records matched so…
January 10th, 2008 at 6:17 pm
marilyn monroe was drugged by members of the luchese crime family. alongside jon kennedy and robert kennedy, monroe also had affairs with underworld kingpins. one of whom being the boss of the luchese family. a few weeks before her death, marilyn overheard the boss talking with a few soldiers about a alleged hit on carlo gambino. the luchese boss overheard this, but he kept quiet until the night of her death. he knew marilyn monroes death would be huge news, and he could not risk the publicity. luckily a great plan came into place. the luchese family boss was incarcerated on drug charges and that would keep out of the lime light. he sent 3 men over to monroes house one night. she apparently thought she was getting picked up. they injected her with a lethal dose of a undisclosed substance, threatened her housekeeper with her family’s life, and left her house. official cause of death, accidental overdose.
January 21st, 2008 at 11:08 pm
Jesse james should have been on this list i think
January 23rd, 2008 at 10:59 am
Why would hitler commit suicide? He had dozens of doubles. The body they presented as his was that of a double known only as “the man from Berlin”, hitler escaped to Argentina along with many prominent nazis. In fact the CIA and the vatican assisted many nazis in escaping, this was known as project paperclip, look it up, it is well documented.
January 25th, 2008 at 4:57 pm
i think sme of these pic’s are a bit wierd but what do you expect, by the way, i seen a pretty good pic of a suicide bomber on google earlier, could be good for similar lists.
January 25th, 2008 at 11:34 pm
beaned0124 – I have kept away from rotten.com style photos as I think we have to keep a certain level of dignity on the site
I think it would turn a lot of people off the site if I showed photos of mangled people.
January 27th, 2008 at 1:25 pm
Marilyn’s corspe looks nothing like her.
:S
February 4th, 2008 at 1:24 am
This is in response to the picture of “Hitler”. I did not see the picture you had posted however, in doing searches on the internet I came across a picture that someone assumed was Hitler’s corpse. The explanation of the picture was that it was of Hitler’s body double who had been captured and assassinated with a gunshot wound to the forehead. Don’t know if that helps or not because I didn’t see the one you had posted.
February 9th, 2008 at 2:27 pm
Omy Maralen is my hero and my opinion is that this is so desturbing all of my friends agree so too!!!!!
February 11th, 2008 at 12:05 am
no one seems to know that hitler’s skeleton was found near the bunker. he was identified by his dental records.
i saw this on the discovery channel as well. (Histories Secrets)
February 11th, 2008 at 12:05 am
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Was_Hitler’s_body_positively_identified
April 5th, 2008 at 8:29 pm
Hitlers body was burned and later identified by his surgeon and the story confimed lots of ppl that saw his dead body after he shot himself along with his long time lover and short time wife eva hitler (born eva braun) which preferred the poison over a bullet.
The body they found in Berlin was one of Hitlers doubles (i only know of one double) who was shot by the SS trying to cover Hitler but the body was quickly identified as double since the poor soul was wearing patched socks. At the time they still had hope that the Führer would flee Berlin what refused to do.
The JFK pic is poor and doesn’t show much of the damage the 3 hired mafia hitmen delivered. He was shot in the throat up front and shot in the head from below the road out of a duct. The 3rd shooter missed…the bullet from the headshot was rasped to work like a dumdum bullet splashing his brain out all over Jackie Kennedy. There are more photos that show this.
Marilyn Monroe had an autopsy. When doing an autopsy they usally open the skull to examine the brain and therefore the skin of the head is cut open and the face skin pulled down…so much for her beauty. She plain and simply f****ed the wrong ppl…literaly and didn’t want to keep quit about it making demands for money as she was completly broke. Eihter the mob or the goverment killed her to cover up and tie up the loose ends.
Hermann Göring didn’t hide any posion. He had a secretary asking a soldier to give him some paper and a pen to write stuff in prison and in the pen was the capsule with the poison.
Che Guevara was dug out some years ago and it was found that his hands were missing. He got his hand cut off after beeing shot dead as a keepsake of the military f**k who was in charge at the time. They were kept in alcohol and are preserved to this day.
This site should be updated…and to all ignoramus others…go educate yourself a little…
April 15th, 2008 at 4:04 pm
That picture of JFK is utterly shocking. I don’t think any gorier picture of him could compare to the expression on his face in this one.
If you decide to do another one of these lists, I suggest the (Catholic acknowledged) incorruptible body of Saint Bernadette of Lourdes. Even if people from other religions do not acknowledge it, it’s an interesting story nonetheless.
April 18th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
i’ve seen most of these pictures be4,people who are shocked by the j.f.k. photo haven’t seen the colour pic’s showing the rear of the head,they are really grusome,only to be viewed once!
May 12th, 2008 at 6:50 am
You forgot the Black Dahlia, Elizabeth Short. The photos of her are in black and whit and still stomach churning. Here is a link if you are interested, some other horrific photos of other also. Thought you guys might appreciat them. PLEASE REMEMEBER these pics re very graphic.

May 12th, 2008 at 6:55 am
Sorry about the typos is previous post. Just wanted to make sure you all know the rest of the photos on the page I linked are even woorse than the Dahlias. I think I am a bit nauseated myself.
June 25th, 2008 at 2:28 am
Those Pictures Were Cool More Dead Body Pictures ! :p x
July 6th, 2008 at 2:50 am
.. that does NOT look like marilyn monroe. marilyn looks so old in the picture.
July 24th, 2008 at 5:58 am
Looking at Marilyn Monroes picture I would never have said she was so glamorous. The least they could do was make her look nice.
July 25th, 2008 at 3:52 pm
Whats up with mussolini’s picture, it looks like his hands are floating in the air, I cant see where they are tied O.o
July 25th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
nm, its shot upside down
July 29th, 2008 at 5:42 pm
the marilyn picture looks so bad because it was taken after her autopsy hence the discolouring of her skin etc as blood had already drained out
why don’t you have the famous photo of john lennon?
August 3rd, 2008 at 1:00 pm
you have made me curious on what ‘the other’ photo of john f kennedy looks like
link please?
September 4th, 2008 at 7:41 pm
I saw the pic of River Phoenix dead…and that has scarred me for a LONG time. And even though I saw your warnings, I went against my better judgment (YET AGAIN)..and looked… I feel like throwing up..and I’m probably gonna cry a lot for the next few weeks asking why people have to die.
September 6th, 2008 at 7:19 pm
This is a great site, but some of the comments read like they are from people who just discovered the internet tubes yesterday.
September 8th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
Man…the photos are good. Marilyn Monroe looks bad…and kenedy too. I live in Romania but i never seen that photo with Ceausescu our ex comunist leader…
September 9th, 2008 at 2:45 pm
hitler shot him self because he comment siverside then the jews killed becouse the hitler had to be the powerfulf person in germany why he is the head of state. the postwar german army commissoned hitler.
September 9th, 2008 at 11:45 pm
Lennon and R. Phoenix? Had no idea they were out there. I was wondering about rock stars like Hendrix, Joplin, Morrison, Bonham…
ps Mikejj are you saying MM deserved to die b/c she f^!* the wrong people? Or too many of the wrong people?
September 20th, 2008 at 10:40 pm
Brittney- yeah the pics of River Phoenix are pretty disturbing, and I remember the first time I saw Marilyn Monroe’s morgue pic it haunted me for a long time. Since then I’ve seen lots of gross and creepy death pictures, celebrity or otherwise. I’m interested in–as disgusting as this sounds–pictures of exhumed bodies. Anyone out there got any info?
September 23rd, 2008 at 11:09 am
Marilyn, by the coronor’s and witnesses’ accounts was as beautiful in death as she had been in life. The post-mortem photograph on this site was taken after the autopsy when much of the fluid had been drained from the body, thus accounting for the slackened skin. (She was, after all, a young woman and didn’t have “baggage” around the jaw.) If one refers to photos taken of her shortly before her death it is obvious that her beauty was not merely owing to makeup.
October 1st, 2008 at 1:29 am
Cool list,
and yea the MM one was creepy. I knew she wasn’t the ‘100% natural beauty’ advertised and she’d had plastic surgery, bleaching etc. but just looks like a totally different person.
And just a random musing. a few individuals on this list asked to be shot instead of hung, and had their requests refused.
Just got me wondering. anyone know WHY this is? As in, why refuse the request? Dead is dead. If a government makes a decision to kill someone does it really matter HOW they die, hanging over shooting or something?
Doesn’t make a bunch of sense to me… Well ok the only ’sense’ i can make of it is chilling. and that is, human beings are sadistic and cruel by nature, and as the length of a noose rope is RARELY the correct length, it often results in the victim being strangled slowly to death thereby suffering more and offering some sick pleasure to the individuals watching, as oppose to the intended result of the neck snapping. (or if the rope is too long the head can, and has been in the past, be pulled clean off, severed @ the neck).
October 11th, 2008 at 8:27 am
Great list however MAO killed closer to 50 million as a result of his policies than 500,000.
The Great Leap Forward killed around 20-40 million on it’s own.
November 11th, 2008 at 4:03 am
i’ve never seen JFK, thanks!
November 18th, 2008 at 10:19 am
I concure with everyone saying that Marilyn Monroe does not look like her self. But I still love her. I am a huGe Marilyn fan! Peace and love!

Thank you for cheering me up. I mean that. Except for Kennedy and Monroe, the rest of these people are @ssholes. I LIKED seeing their dead bodies.
November 21st, 2008 at 2:40 am
Interesting list…and I have to concur with the above poster…except for MM and JFK, the rest looked very nice dead…you should have added that marxist bastard Allende to this list too…and where is that other marxist bastard , Stalin??
Anyways, cool list!!
November 22nd, 2008 at 5:41 am
One dead Stalin:

Ceaucescu and Mussolini – Two guys who really had it coming. I guess Saddam too. It’s a shame Pol Pot had to die peacefully, but we can always hope there really is a Hell.
I’ve seen Lenin’s corpse, it looked like wax to me.
November 29th, 2008 at 6:49 pm
whats up with monroe? she looks like a mummified eygyptian queen…

M.Monroe/ Mummified Egyptian Queen?! excellently put…but having seen many ancient Egytian corpses, the coroner’s photo doesnt remind me of ………….
Sure, why not. My first time I saw this image was on a back street in Ohio, USA. I was driving along in a truck had at the time and used it for picking up stuff I thought worth picking up. I saw a heap of interest, off a particuliar side street, and stopped to rummage. A box of books fell out within my scavaging. The Monroe book that was published with the above photo caught my hands and eyes and it was tossed in the back when I saw the pics.

Regarding COLOR Photograph and Dead John Kennedy and his Brains and Coroner’s Leak and Jacqueline attempting to Suppress the Image.
Regarding Mussolini and how I once worked for an old Italian guy who showed me his shin scars from kicks during soccer (football) matches with the already mentioned “Muss”.
Regarding how Lenin’s up-keep took routine body “washes” by “nurses” appointed to the honorable position.

Monroe wasn’t looking to good in that picture but i mean that Kennedy one is just BRUTAL. I can’t beleive no one thought about closing his eyes. It looks like he’s still alive and in a lot of pain.

In reguards to MM, they fixed her up after that picture. The make up guy spent more than an hour fixing her up.
January 6th, 2009 at 6:22 pm
I think the Marilyn monroe pic looks kina weird and why dnt they turn dat pic around of that Mussolini guy…but wen they kill the husband y they hav 2 kill the wife 2..we have nothin 2 do wit it sure we luv yall but we want to live our lives ya know.. dnt we have rights?;/

Re photograph of Marilyn Monroe…this was taken after autopsy and the original bears a police file number. The facial discoloration occured after death and it is the surgeons work that caused her face to sag. According to those who witnessed the autopsy proceedure the lifeless Marilyn remained beautiful.
January 8th, 2009 at 12:44 pm
To me the MM picture make me thinking : well, thats all what stays there after death : it is just like a coat hanging or lying there, Marylin was no longer inside, … , she is gone .. and took her beauty with her.
But to all of you who think she only looked nice in live , because of make up : let me tell you :
what she really made looking that much nice was her way to lough and the way she looked and so on ..
and
if YOU are once nearly one week dead, and an autopsy has happen on your head (pulled the skin down, and the blood out) , then, Ladys ans gentelmen, I dont wanna know how YOU will look !
For that, that all these things has happen to her dead body : her face still looked very nice… but nevertheless , she was definitely gone, so her beauty faded away ..
(sorry for my less good english ..)

HeHe Glad to see ol’ Che in one of his not so famous poses. He was actually beheaded. The picture looks as if they set his head on his body for the photo. One can only hope he got it Allah Akbar style, sawed off with a dull machete.

MM was sadly a victim of the death process. It renders even the most beautiful people hideous. Especially after autopsy. Which is brutal to a corpse. Thank God for good morticians and those who prepare the bodies. It has been reported that she looked absolutely beautiful in her casket and the effects of the autopsy were not visible. Make no doubt however that we too will all end up the remains of the day at some point. Nodody escapes that fate…
February 14th, 2009 at 7:14 am
that is not marilyn monroes body no way!!
February 17th, 2009 at 1:39 pm
that does not look like marilyn she is way to pretty to be that uglt when you are dead
February 26th, 2009 at 8:59 am
the marilyn monroe corpse absolutely looks nothing like her .. at all …
March 3rd, 2009 at 12:34 pm
Is there anyone’s corpse you would have liked to see, who is not on any of the lists and who no-one ever saw? If yes, who would you choose?
March 11th, 2009 at 10:24 am
Shocking pictures, and it just proves a point, that Life is to be cherished, every moment of it. Most of the people in this pictures deserved their fate, but Kennedy and Munroe, they hit me hard.
March 12th, 2009 at 9:54 pm
all these people deserved the death except for marylin monroe and prez. kennedy… their death had shocked me
March 28th, 2009 at 1:05 pm
The Marilyn Monroe one looks creepy….. i’m soo used to her being “sexy” and what-not but it looked weird with her long hair pushed back…..O_O
April 1st, 2009 at 9:15 am
mobidity is a strange mistress
April 2nd, 2009 at 10:22 pm
it just sucks to think that monroe being such a beautiful woman yet she looks so scary…. really sucks!!
April 3rd, 2009 at 9:00 pm
it’s sad that marilyn monroe didn’t have a chance to experience motherhood..but really that photo doesn’t look like her or i’m just used to seeing her with long hair
April 15th, 2009 at 8:10 am
JFK’s is disturbing
April 16th, 2009 at 6:24 pm
I think the picture of Miss.Marilyn Monroe is disrespectful and so are some of the comments on here.She was an amazing, and gorgeous woman.I am 100% positive she was twice as better looking dead than most of you are alive.
R.I.P Marilyn
April 28th, 2009 at 1:00 pm
there was no need to show Marilyn to the world post- autopsy other than for sensationalism. How sad
April 28th, 2009 at 4:48 pm
Wheres the Hitler shot? He didnt commit suicide he traded his wealth and lived with Mussolini for 2 years till he died of cancer. Theres a book about a full investigation launched by an english gent who spent his life investigating his death. Wish i could get another copy.
May 8th, 2009 at 10:31 am
i think the pictures are very interesting
May 10th, 2009 at 6:12 pm
Marilyn Monroe did not die of an overdose on pills, she died of ‘acute barbiturate poisoning’. Just to get the record straight. It drives me mad that people say she OD on pills…
May 10th, 2009 at 6:14 pm
116. Get it straight : So she injected? I hope you weren’t trying to make her look squeaky-clean, because that was a fail.
May 10th, 2009 at 6:15 pm
And seriously, why put Monroe at her worst moment.. No Respect at all
May 10th, 2009 at 6:20 pm
No I was getting the record straight. And in most cases of Barbiturate Enema it has to be done by a doctor. But there are some who say that she did it herself and if you know what that even is you will understand
June 24th, 2009 at 12:50 pm
I just want to follow up with the man that said marilyn monroes beauty was in the make-up. Sure make up helps hide flaws, but I’ve never seen a dead person that was beautiful. The beauty comes from the soul, and after death, the blood settles, and color turns pale, and you want to say that it was the makeup that made her beautiful. Are you joking???? Makeup won’t help ugly…but it will improve beautiful.
July 1st, 2009 at 6:55 am
its weird to see the dead bodies of important historical figures.
July 10th, 2009 at 2:31 am
The worst pic of a dead person google “Emmit Till” sad story makes me hate white men! and I am white!
July 19th, 2009 at 6:37 pm
Well, Lets pray of there souls to rest in peace
July 19th, 2009 at 6:38 pm
It is shocking but we could not bring them back.
July 21st, 2009 at 3:49 pm
some of these people here made some very stupid mistakes but all dead people deserve respect … i live in nz and we have very light criminal justice life sentence is only like 20yrs max which is stupid im a firm believer in if you take a life yours should be taken that also goes for rapists and pedophiles !!! but after death every person still deserves respect i know im a hypocrite
July 21st, 2009 at 3:51 pm
will you be getting any Michael J pics? or do you know of any of jimi hendrix?
July 24th, 2009 at 11:39 am
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww that pic of marilyn is nasty and disturbing
July 27th, 2009 at 11:38 pm

dood what the hell happened to marilyn!
August 5th, 2009 at 6:32 pm
i agree Aleyah24 “what the hell happen”
August 17th, 2009 at 1:11 am
Hey I took the pic of Marilyn and put it on windows paint. I then applied colour to her eyes. Black for some mascara and blue for eye shadow. Then I used pink on her lips. I then used a white paint strokes to make poofy hair. When I was all done she looked kind of like Marilyn although dead. So yeah..the bitch just needed some of my imaginary Revlon to get her looking back into her swinging self. Everyone should wear makeup..just in case you die accidentally..would you want to look like Marilyn??? I thought not!
September 7th, 2009 at 7:52 pm
The reason Marilyn Monroe looks so poorly is because during the autopsy her scalp is cut at the rear allowing for it to be peeled forward. They then cut the skull cap and remove the brain. The skull is replaced and the scalp pulled back over the head. This procedure causes the face muscles to sag and look flat and unanimated.
September 16th, 2009 at 7:47 pm
how come nobody asks where smerfette is? i have proof gargamel and papa smerf gang raped and killed her.
September 20th, 2009 at 6:17 pm
@jfrater (5):
The corpse of “Hitler” was in fact proven to be one of the many imitators he had of himself, so who knows maybe he actually did flee to the south?
September 28th, 2009 at 4:43 pm
marilyn monroe was a beautiful woman in life. but u must remember that by the time of her death she was depressed and withdrawn.
some shocking pics that are very interesting at the same time.
October 11th, 2009 at 6:27 pm
I have seen some of these photos before.
Marilyn Monroe looks different because death changes skin color and causes other things to happen in a short amount of time.
An autopsy will have an affect as well.
The JFK photo shocked people but there are worse pictures of him out there.
I think the famous picture of Elvis in his coffin should have been on this site.
It is one of the most well known death pictures in history.
Some really interesting death photos you can find on the Internet include Bonnie and Clyde, Edgar Allan Poe, Sharon Tate and Michael Jackson on his way to the hospital.
There are of course, many more death photos out there.
This is a good site with many famous and shocking pictures.
Let the truth be known.

Hi, actually i was checking m.monroe´s pics, when i saw that comment about a german stuka pilot who was able to land a plane in a backyard or something ,It was about hitler , well with that story ,of what i have found earlier about hitler make sence ,you have to remember that hitler had connections to africa, what i´m going to say that hitler didnt comitted suicide in bunker nor burnt upp by the closest men he had in bunker ,, well i would say he was alive until the year i was born and that is 1968 , i was looking in a book that called (Aktuellt 1968) Swe news book ,I happen to see a picture of a 70 year old judge from africa(European)(Caucasian),he was quitting his job because of the goverment decided to hang 3 Black people , the judge didnt like that ,the goverment took the case from him ., well this picture was so alike hitler in many ways ,so i had to download pictures of hitler from other angles , and different years to see and compare to this picture , and you have to remember from 1945 – to 1968 its diff + 27 years , i checked ears . eyes ,specail marks on side he had , everything i checked on face from the last known pic to the pic i had from the book ,, well if hitler didnt have a twin brother , i would say the picture from 1968 is hitler , this judge had a typical english name.i tried to find this name prior 1968 since this was a judge , but this judge doesnt exist prior 68 ,if this is a judge i supposed i would have found other cases with this judge but no,. after 68 no , this judge seems to exist only 1968,that is strange ,,
Remember if hitler was alive in 1968 he should have been 70 years old , like this so called judge on picture.
Hitler was born 1898.
If you want to check this out what i´m saying ,, then you should look after (AKTUELLT 1968) From sweden , if u check this book , and you come to a page with a pic where your first thought is , wow Hitler ??? 1968???? isnt he dead 1945???? then you´re on the right page , That is the thought i also had when i looked in this book.
Before i looked in this book i also belived the bunker story , but after look the book , i question the bunker story …. Plz Check AKTUELLT 1968 From sweden
October 16th, 2009 at 12:34 am
OMG…. What About The Black Dahlia???? xD
October 16th, 2009 at 9:22 pm
I’m not quite sure why people think the JFK pic looks shocking. It looks positively serene compared to some of his other autopsy pictures.
To me, the Marilyn pictures are more shocking. First time I ever saw that pic.
Quite sad.
October 28th, 2009 at 12:08 pm
THESE PICS ARE AWESOME!
