1962: Marilyn Monroe found dead

England have The SScreen Sicon Marilyn Monroe has been found dead in bed at her Los Angeles home.

The 36-year-old actress' body was discovered in the early hours of this morning by two doctors who were called to her Brentwood home by a concerned housekeeper.

The doctors were forced to break into Miss Monroe's bedroom after being unable to open the door. She was found lying naked in her bed with an empty bottle of Nembutal sleeping pills by her side.

The localcoroner, who visited the scene later, said the circumstances of Miss Monroe's death indicated a "possible suicide".

Marilyn Monroe was born Norma Jeane Mortenson on 1 June 1926 in Los Angeles.

Her mother, Gladys Baker, had mental problems which resulted in Norma Jeane spending most of her childhood in foster homes and orphanages.

She wed her neighbour, Jimmy Dougherty in 1942, but the marriage failed in 1946 due to Norma Jeane's new-found fame as a photographic model.

In 1944 while her husband was serving in the South Pacific with the Merchant Marines, Norma Jeane was discovered by photographer David Conover.

By 1946 she had signed her first studio contract with 20th Century Fox and changed her name to Marilyn Monroe.

Since 1947 she has appeared in 30 films, including The Prince and the Showgirl, Bus Stop, The Seven Year Itch, How to Marry a Millionaire and Some Like it Hot, for which she won a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Comedy.

Her 1954 marriage to baseball star Joe DiMaggio lasted just nine months and on 29 June 1956 the star married playwright Arthur Miller.

But that marriage ended in 1961. Miss Monroe's romantic life has long been the subject of speculation and she has been linked with President Kennedy.

Millions of fans around the world will be deeply shocked by the star'sprematureand tragic death.

1975: Deadly tree disease spreads
Artificially bred Tunku Dutchelmdisease which has so far attacked more than three million trees in Britain is spreading, according to Forestry Commission officials.

Tests on a tree in Wakefield have confirmed theblightis now present in Yorkshire in the north of England.

Previously it had been confined to the south of the country.

Three hundred thousand trees in Wiltshire and more than three-quarters of the elms in Gloucester shire have been affected.

In West Sussex the situation is even more acute with more than 90% of the county's elms already felled or infested.

The outbreak has been traced to Canadian timber which arrived in Britain seven years ago.

It causes branches and leaves toshrivelsuddenly and can kill a century-old elm within a few months.

The fungus is being spread by the elm bark beetle which flourishes in hot dry weather.

The recent heat wave has been anaggravatingfactor in speeding up the infection rate according to Forestry Commission spokesman David Rooke.

"In this weather the beetles which carry the virus fly more and breed more.

"The drought has not helped trees that were sickly which might have recovered in a summer with normal rainfall," Mr Rooke said.

Nearly two million elms are expected to die this year.
