Megan Marshack, Aide Present at Nelson Rockefeller's Death, Dies at 70

Marshack, who maintained silence on the circumstances of Rockefeller's death, passed away in California from liver and kidney failure.

  • Megan Marshack, a former aide to Nelson Rockefeller, was with him when he died of a heart attack in 1979, sparking widespread speculation.
  • Marshack's self-written obituary, published after her death at 70, acknowledged her association with Rockefeller but did not reveal new details.
  • Her brother suggested that Marshack signed a nondisclosure agreement, which may explain her lifelong silence on the incident.
  • Despite intense media scrutiny and rumors of a romantic relationship, Marshack never publicly discussed the events of Rockefeller's final night.
  • After Rockefeller's death, Marshack returned to journalism, working for CBS and local newspapers before marrying Edmond Jacoby Jr. in 2003.
