The online sale of the crypt above silver screen legend Marilyn Monroe’s final resting place has fallen through after the winning bidder failed to come up with $4.6 million in cash.

Earlier this month, Elsie Poncher put the crypt where her husband Richard has been buried since 1986 up for auction on eBay.com for $500,000 in a bid to save her home from foreclosure. The price quickly soared into the millions as desperate fans of the sex symbol tried to purchase the plot. The buyer, an unidentified bidder from Japan, has pulled out of the deal, leaving Poncher to seek the next highest bid of the 28 other people who participated in the auction.

Poncher’s late husband purchased the plot from baseball great Joe DiMaggio when he divorced Marilyn in 1955. The actress passed away in 1962.

The plot is in the Westwood Village Memorial Park cemetery, which is the final resting place for several Hollywood legends including Dean Martin, Truman Capote, and the recently-departed Farrah Fawcett.
