At the time I heard about it I thought Robert Wagner killed her in a fit of jealousy. I think Wagner found out that Natalie was having a love affair with Christopher Walken. All three were on the boat at the time. This is just my opinion.
I hope I'm not offending someone with this.
I do think there was a fight and drugs and alcohol were in everybody's blood streams that night, but I also think she just fell off the boat and in her drunked/drugged state she panicked and drowned. When you're inebriated, your mind and consciousness are severely retarded and just a simple chug of unexpected salt water in her lungs could have sent her into a severe shock and disarray as she tried to cough the water back out but she was already submerged and disoriented.
Look at the recent Naya Rivera case where they don't say drugs or alcohol were involved.
The human body is very fragile
What was the coroner's official cause of death for Natalie?
shareI don't know if he pushed her or if she fell. But witness statements suggest that she was in the water yelling for help and he was on deck communicating with her. My own theory is that after she ended up in the water, he sent out the dinghy to her and left her to figure out on her own how to get out.
shareIt's funny how so many people think about this like it's a "Columbo" episode, their imaginations fueled by tabloid crap and Lana Wood's mental ravings. Often an accident is just an accident.
shareI agree with part of this --- She was probably having an affair with Walken, THAT is her history, affairs with co-stars
Walken being a gentleman has never said anything about it, and no one has had the balls to ask
SHE probably left Walkens room , Drunk and fell off
