"RIPS THE LID OFF CHILLING 50-YEAR COVER-UP!"
John Blosser, GLOBE Newspapers

"Memoirs of a Deputy Coroner: The Case of Marilyn Monroe" is a powerful account of the official Coroner's investigation into Marilyn Monroe's death. Written by former Deputy Coroner Lionel Grandison, who investigated Marilyn's case in 1962 and signed her death certificate, this explosive new book chronicles his shocking experience with her case. This incredible true-story provides an unprecedented inside look at the massive cover-up Grandison witnessed and how the official Coroner's investigation was sabotaged to hide the truth about Marilyn Monroe's death.

Never has Marilyn's story been told through the eyes of somebody who actually participated in the investigation. Grandison is one of the last remaining public officials, who was directly involved with the case. The book reveals his personal and professional relationships with key figures involved in the case including his former boss, Los Angeles County Chief Medical Examiner Theodore Curphey, and Dr. Thomas Noguchi who performed Marilyn's autopsy.

Grandison's story is compelling and his insight into Marilyn Monroe's death is astonishing. His book offers stunning new information about her autopsy, original toxicology reports and Grandison's discovery of Marilyn's secret diary, which the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office had in its possession.

Lionel Grandison was the last public official to see Marilyn's secret diary, which was discovered with her personal property. The diary depicted a high stakes secret life being lived by Marilyn and her knowledge of sensitive government issues, which may have gotten her killed. Grandison's book reveals the explosive contents of Marilyn's diary, which includes Marilyn's chilling involvement with the Kennedys, FBI, CIA and Mafia members.

"Memoirs of a Deputy Coroner: The Case of Marilyn Monroe" describes a shocking chain-of-events leading up to Marilyn's death and how the cover-up began from the moment she died. The book provides an in-depth analysis of how the Coroner's Office, L.A. Police Department and District Attorney played key roles in covering up the facts surrounding Marilyn's death.

In 1982, it was Grandison's allegations of improprieties by the Los Angeles County Coroner that led to a historic District Attorney's Inquiry into Monroe's death . His book exposes the shortcomings of that investigation and how D.A. investigators never tried to uncover the truth.

Grandison's knowledge of the Marilyn Monroe case spans fifty-years. At only 22-years old, he was thrust into this intricate conspiracy plot and forced to sign Marilyn's death certificate. That involvement changed his life forever and cost him everything. "Memoirs of a Deputy Coroner: The Case of Marilyn Monroe"captures the riveting essence of Lionel Grandison's incredible story. More importantly, readers will discover a side of Marilyn Monroe they never imagined, while gaining a true understanding of her complicated life and what most likely caused her death.
About the Author: Samir Muqaddin, formerly known as Lionel Grandison, is the deputy coroner who investigated Marilyn Monroe's case and signed her death certificate. Grandison was employed by the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office in 1962 and has been a central figure in the Marilyn Monroe mystery for more than 50 years. He has been the subject of numerous news articles and television specials over the years, including "In Search Of" with Leonard Nemoy, "Hard Copy" and "The Marilyn Files" with Bill Bixby.

It was his official allegations of a cover-up and request for a grand jury investigation that led to a historic 1982 District Attorney's Inquiry into Marilyn Monroe's death. Grandison was the key witness during that probe. In 2010, he completed an unpublished memoir of his investigation and experiences with the Marilyn Monroe case.

Lionel Grandison Jr. has been a producer and journalist for more than twenty years. His work has been seen on numerous media sources, both nationally and internationally. In 2010, Grandison Jr. endeavored to write "Memoirs" after reading his father's private memoir. Although Grandison Jr. had grew up hearing these stories and witnessed much of their aftermath, reading the memoir provided him an inspiring new perspective about the Marilyn Monroe case and the price his father paid while trying to expose the truth. Understanding it's importance, he convinced his father to help create a published work based upon his memoir.

Lionel and Samir would spend more than two years completing "Memoirs of a Deputy Coroner: The Case of Marilyn Monroe". It is the only book ever written about Marilyn Monroe, by a Los Angeles County official who participated in the original death investigation. Together they have created a real-life masterpiece that embraces the age-old axiom of truth being stranger than fiction.
