The following story caught my eye because the woman was intensely fearful of the water…just like my sister, Cindy—who also died mysteriously.
Natalie Wood (the actress) died in 1981, by ‘accidental’ drowning, while boating off Catalina Island near the California coast. She was found wearing a long nightgown, socks and a jacket. I always thought that was odd because of how the story was portrayed at the time. (Yes, I remember when it happened—guess I’m showing my age.)
The autopsy report showed Wood had two dozen bruises on her body, including a facial abrasion on her left cheek, and bruises on her arms.
Natalie’s case is being re-investigated because someone has new information. I sure hope, for the family’s sake, some closure finally comes from this!
I’ll be following this story. And if you hear something about this case before I get a chance to update on it, please feel free to comment here.
(The anniversary of her death is coming up on November 29th.)
