24 celebrities who tragically took their own lives (With Pictures)

18. Marilyn Monroe – Age 36

The iconic bombshell tragically died from a probable suicide due to an overdose of barbiturates. Marilyn was a sexual icon and infamous actress. She had men wrapped around her finger, but those close to her said that the star had “severe fears and frequent depressions” as well as, “abrupt and unpredictable mood changes.” This suggests that the actress may have been suffering from mental illness which could have led to her decision to take her own life.
