Megan Marshack, aide to Nelson Rockefeller who was with him at his death in 1979, dies at 70

Megan Marshack, an aide to Nelson Rockefeller who was with the former New York governor and vice president when he died under circumstances that spurred intense speculation, has died in California at age 70. Marshack died on Oct. 2 of liver and kidney failure, according to a self-penned obituary posted by a funeral home in Sacramento, California. Her brother said she died at a live-in medical facility in Sacramento.

Marshack, who had a long and varied career in journalism, suddenly gained national attention after the four-time Republican governor collapsed and died of a heart attack on the night of Jan. 26, 1979. Shifting explanations regarding the details of that night fanned conjecture about the death of the 70-year-old member of the wealthy Rockefeller family and the nature of his relationship with his 25-year-old researcher.

It was originally announced that Rockefeller died in his offices at Rockefeller Center. But a family spokesperson later said Rockefeller had been working on an art book at his private offices elsewhere in Manhattan when he was stricken. There also were discrepancies with his time of death and who was with him. Marshack was not initially identified as being with him when he died.

It was the Batman suit and mask he was wearing when they found him.

The money quote from her obit:
She is survived by her younger brother, Jon, a water quality scientist with
the California State Water Boards (retired), and his husband, The Rev.
Rik Rasmussen.
LOL. You betcha!

70 isn’t old.

It is if you die before that.

My wife and I were still doing it in our late ‘70’s.

Reminds me of lyrics from the ABBA song, “When All is Said and Done”

Slightly worn, but dignified, and not too old for sex...

A woman “with class” doesn’t sleep with another woman’s husband.

It wasn’t exactly a secret in NY that Happy was pretty asexual, my memory back then was she mostly lived in Manhattan while he spent time in Albany.

I said 70 was old. Who said old people don’t have sex?
Not me.

I’ve always thought Bill Clinton would die this way — in bed with a bimbo, and his SS detail would have to clean it up.

Bill is not well either. Did you see him in that debacle stop he made? I think Jim Carter may outlast him. And Jimmy’s been in hospice for what,?, like 2 years now?

**Go out fornicating? No.**

Once while driving I saw 2 horseflies doing it in mid-flight. Both smacked up against my windshield at 40 mph. What a way to go!

That is the story. The rest of it is that she called a friend to come over and help her redress Rockefeller before they called the police. Evidently they didn’t put the clothes back on exactly correct and the police pretty well figured out what it happened, but they tried to cover it up no matter what because he was Nelson Rockefeller.

You don’t know that and it’s pretty disrespectful to bring something out like that with no proof whatsoever we don’t know what happened to that poor woman
