Where was Megan Marshak when Vice-President Nelson Rockefeller Died? In recounting old news stories similar to the Monica Lewinsky case, the press has often invoked the name of 27- year-old Megan Marshak, whom, they say, was at the side of former Vice-President Nelson Rockefeller when he died on January 26, 1979. However, those familiar with the case knows the truth. Megan Marshak was not "at his side" when Nelson Rockefeller died of a heart attack. The official coroner’s report, issued by the competent New York State authority, states that Nelson Rockefeller died of a heart attack while he was having sexual intercourse. You can look it up in the archives at 28th Street and First Avenue (provided they let you look at this one). Megan Marshak was, in fact, underneath Nelson Rockefeller when he died. The tragedy, which was recounted daily in the press at the time, was that had there not been political considerations, his life might have been saved. Nelson Rockefeller was a big, heavy man. When he collapsed of a heart attack, Megan Marshak was pinned underneath him. She had to struggle to get out. He was naked. It was not known that he had a mistress. For these reasons, she was reluctant to call the ambulance. Instead, Megan Marshak called her girlfriend, who lived nearby. The girlfriend walked over, arrived, saw the naked former Vice-President sprawled on the floor, and then she and Megan Marshak had a discussion about what to do about this. Finally, fully one hour after Nelson Rockefeller had collapsed, the girlfriend called the ambulance. Megan Marshak did not make the call. When the ambulance arrived, Nelson Rockefeller was still barely alive. However, he died in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.
