Jean's second marriage ended with the suicide of her husband MGM studio executive Paul Bern. The death of Paul Bern remains one of Hollywood's great unsolved mysteries. On Labor Day weekend 1932, Harlow left her home with Paul Bern to spend the night at her mother's house. Bern was reportedly to join her there later but never showed up. The next morning Bern's body was discovered. It appeared he had shot himself in the head. He left a suicide note written on page 13 of his guest book which read "Dearest dear, Unfortunately this is the only way to make good the frightful wrong I have done you and wipe out my abject humiliation. I love you. Paul. You understand last night was only a comedy." Physicians later confirmed that Bern had a physical condition which made him "unfit for matrimony."
