Out of all the theories regarding Marilyn Monroe's death, perhaps the strangest of all is John Alexander Baker's claim that the iconic blonde bombshell never died. As noted by Daily Star, Baker published his bizarre theory in his book "Marilyn Monroe: Alive in 1984?" in which the author insists that he met the star about 22 years after her reported death. Baker also uploaded a video on YouTube, titled "Marilyn Monroe, 'ALIVE,' in 1984? She didn't die in 1962," in which he expresses this controversial opinion.
So just what exactly is Baker's theory? In his video, the author claimed that Monroe did not die in 1962, and alleged that her death was staged. He stated, "Her psychiatrist Dr. Greenson had her committed to a mental institution in New Brunswick, Canada because of all the threats on her life and the complete mental breakdown she was suffering from all of this turmoil" (via Daily Star). Baker then declared that Monroe was held at the institution for approximately 20 years before she was released. He claimed that no one knew her true identity.
Likewise, in his book, Baker goes into further detail. He wrote that he met a hitchhiker named Norma Jeane, who knew everything about the star and bore a striking resemblance to Monroe. Following their meeting, Baker began researching the woman, claiming that what he discovered led him to believe he'd met Marilyn Monroe.
