However, Monroe is seen alive in the [[The Simpsons (season 15)|fifteenth season]] in "[[Diatribe of a Mad Housewife]]" purchasing a copy of Marge's novel, ''The Harpooned Heart'', stating simply that he had "...been very sick" when asked about his long absence by Marge. He was later seen as a ghost, claiming that he was "stuck in limbo" in "[[Treehouse of Horror XXV]]".
