Mystery Of Natalie Wood’s Death Endures 40 Years Later

(Los Angeles, CA) — The mystery of actress Natalie Wood’s death is enduring decades later. The 43-year-old star of ‘West Side Story’ was found floating face-down in the ocean near Catalina Island 40 years ago. Authorities initially ruled her death an accident since she could not swim and had been drinking the night she went missing off her husband’s yacht. Wood’s death has been a topic of tabloid speculation since the theory that she was a victim of homicide gained interest a decade ago. In 2011, her case was reopened and in 2013, her cause of death was changed from ‘accidental drowning’ to ‘drowning and other undetermined factors.’ In 2018, actor Robert Wagner was named as a person of interest in his wife’s death.
