Autopsy Provides No Answers In Marilyn Chambers Death

Adult-film legend Marilyn Chambers died yesterday at the age of 56, and, considering her young age, one would expect an autopsy to turn up some answers. Unfortunately, that’s not the case.

A Los Angeles coroner today failed to find any reason why Chambers, who rocketed to fame with 1972’s "Behind the Green Door," died. Said a coroner’s office official, "She probably died of natural causes."

Such an explanation most likely won’t be any solace for Chambers’s 17-year-old daughter, who found her body

What is there to say?  Everybody dies sometime, some sooner, some later, but nobody is exempt.

I have been so saddened by the loss of this woman.  I never realized how beautiful she really was until my girlfriend sent me this link at www.behindgreendoor.com to purchase her DVD.  Wow!!!  Not only was the movie a true classic, but Marilyn really was such a beautiful young woman.

She may have ODd: sometimes those pharmacological (term?) tests can take weeks…. this may be a bit premature.

Actually Nanchanu it is toxicology is the term you’re looking for. I agree with you though. Lets wait and see.
