60 on the back of the note vélez wrote how could you harald fake such a great love for me and our baby when all the time you didn t want us i see no other way out for me so goodbye and good luck to you love lupe 61 the day after vélez s death harald ramond told the press that he was so confused by vélez s suicide and claimed that even though the two had broken up he had agreed to marry vélez 62 he admitted that he once asked vélez to sign an agreement stating that he was only marrying her to give the baby a name but claimed he only did so because he and vélez had had a fight and he was in a terrible temper actress estelle taylor who was with vélez from 9 00 the previous night until 3 30 the morning vélez died told the press that vélez had told her of her pregnancy but said she would rather kill herself than have an abortion 59 63 beulah kinder vélez s secretary later told investigators that after vélez broke off the relationship with ramond she planned to go to mexico to have her baby kinder said vélez soon changed her mind after concluding that ramond faked the relationship and considered having an abortion 64 the day after vélez s death the los angeles county coroner requested that an inquest be opened to investigate the circumstances surrounding her death 64 on december 16 the coroner dropped the request after determining that vélez had written the notes and that she had intended to kill herself 55 on december 22 a funeral for vélez was held at the mortuary at forest lawn memorial park in los angeles 65 among the pallbearers were vélez s ex husband johnny weissmuller and actor gilbert roland 66 after the service vélez s body was sent by train to mexico city where a second service was held on december 27 67 her body was then interred at panteón civil de dolores cemetery 68 alternative theories and urban legend edit publicity image for an argentinean magazine 1933 despite the coroner s ruling that vélez died by suicide to avoid the shame of bearing an illegitimate child some authors have speculated that this was not entirely true in the book from bananas to buttocks the latina body in popular film and culture rosa linda fregoso wrote that vélez was known for her defiance of contemporary moral convention and that it seems unlikely that she could not have reconciled having a child out of wedlock fregoso believes that in the final year of her life vélez exhibited signs of extreme mania and depression fregoso goes on to speculate that vélez s death may have been the result of an untreated mental illness such as bipolar disorder 69 robert slatzer who later claimed to have been secretly married to marilyn monroe 70 claimed that a few weeks before vélez s death he interviewed her at her home and she confided in him that she was pregnant with gary cooper s child by that time cooper was married to socialite veronica rocky balfe 71 72 according to slatzer vélez said that cooper refused to acknowledge the child believing that harald ramond was the father after vélez died slatzer said he asked cooper about the situation and cooper confirmed that it was possible he might have been the father slatzer further claimed that he also interviewed clara bow who had also dated cooper in the 1920s who revealed that shortly before vélez s death cooper called her and screamed that he was going to kill harald ramond for impregnating vélez slatzer claimed that bow told him that she never believed vélez s baby was fathered by ramond and that she was convinced that vélez had attempted to get ramond to marry her to protect cooper s reputation biographer michelle vogel speculated that if cooper was the father his rejection of vélez and their child coupled with the idea of having to raise a child alone may have sent vélez over the edge 71 in the 2002 book tarzan my father johnny weissmuller jr recounted the events surrounding vélez s death as a mystery caused by an attempt to put a lid on what happened it states her housekeeper discovered her body and called bo roos vélez s business manager who called his friend and beverly hills police chief anderson to the scene the book states after vélez arranged to meet ramond decorated her room and dressed in a negligee her ingestion of the barbiturate seconal was either to calm her nerves before meeting him or a failed dramatic gesture to scare him the book also suggested the baby was fathered possibly by cooper not ramond 73 the recounting of vélez s death by kenneth anger in his book hollywood babylon has become urban legend in anger s telling vélez planned to stage an elaborate suicide scene atop her satin bed but the seconal did not mix well with the mexi spice last supper she had eaten earlier that evening as a result she became violently ill stumbled to the bathroom to vomit slipped on the bathroom floor tile and fell headfirst into the toilet where she subsequently drowned anger claimed that vélez s chambermaid juanita found her the next morning despite the fact that his version of events contradicts published reports and the official ruling his story is often repeated as fact or for comedic effect it was recounted in the pilot episode of the television comedy series frasier the good son referred to in an episode of the cartoon the simpsons and mentioned in the song i wanna o d by the demolition doll rods 74 vélez s biographer michelle vogel points out that it would have been virtually impossible for vélez to have stumbled to the bathroom or even get off her bed after having consumed such a large amount of seconal this barbiturate is noted for being fast acting even in small doses and vélez s death was probably instantaneous her death certificate lists seconal poisoning due to ingestion of seconal as the cause of death not drowning further there was also no evidence to suggest vélez had vomited in 2013 the first publication of a police photo of vèlez s body on the floor of her bedroom was published 75 legacy edit for
