Marilyn Monroe’s would-be crypt neighbour chickens out: "

LOS ANGELES, Aug 26 — A US$4.6 million (RM16.1 million) bid submitted through online auctioneer eBay Inc for the crypt on top of Marilyn Monroe's final resting place fell through, an attorney for the seller said yesterday.

David Camel, an attorney for Elsie Poncher, who is selling her husband's crypt in a celebrity-heavy Los Angeles cemetery, said he is going through the bids to find one that qualifies.

Bidding closed on Monday, with the winning offer coming from Japan. The unidentified person then pulled out, Camel said.
