A demolition for Marilyn Monroe’s former Los Angeles home is currently in the works.
Although the unidentified owner hasn’t been officially cleared to start tearing down the Hollywood icon’s home, a demolition permit has been approved, the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety confirmed to Fox News Digital.
The Hacienda-style property was originally built in 1929.

At the time, her death was ruled to be an overdose of sleeping pills. Whether it was accidental or suicidal is still not fully known. She was found in her home, alone in her bed, with an unhooked phone in her hand and a bottle of sleeping pills on the side of her bed. Monroe’s funeral took place on August 8, 1962, at the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery.
The case was reopened 20 years later, in 1982. After further investigation, the district attorney found that the original findings remained unchanged, and her death was still ruled a drug overdose.
