As a film critic, I’ve always been fascinated by the tragic story of Natalie Wood’s death. She was found drowned off the coast of Catalina Island on November 29, 1981, and for years it was accepted as a tragic accident. But the case has been reopened, and it’s become clear things weren’t so simple. New witnesses have come forward, and the official cause of death is now listed as ‘undetermined’ rather than accidental. The investigators are still piecing things together, periodically looking for more information and interviewing people who were on the yacht that night. What’s really unsettling is the conflicting stories – no one seems to agree on exactly what happened out on the water, and the details remain frustratingly murky.
