Reeves' death is a strange story. Can't see we'll ever know for sure.

reply

Everyone involved is dead. The only startlement that even brought it into question was made by Toni Mannix when she was an Alzheimer's patient which would hardly be reliable.

Actor Jim Beaver narrated a documentary.

Jim was working on a book about George Reeves. He did a lot of research. For unknown reasons it was never published (as far as I know). He has stated that there was strong evidence that it was a suicide.

That's been the official story since he died. We'll probably never know full story.

Yep. Absent a long lost diary being discovered where someone fessed up to killing him or otherwise named names, suicide will remain the official story.
