#32: The Mysterious Drowning of Natalie Wood
In 1981, the drowning death of Hollywood actress Natalie Wood shocked the world. Wood, known for her role in Rebel Without a Cause, was found floating near the yacht “Splendour,” owned by her husband, actor Robert Wagner. The incident occurred while Wood, Wagner, and actor Christopher Walken, Wood’s co-star in Brainstorm, were spending time on the yacht.
That night, tensions reportedly rose, with nearby boaters claiming to hear arguments and a woman’s cry for help. Wagner didn’t report his wife missing until 1:30 AM, and she was found six hours later. Her death was ruled an accident, but suspicions linger, especially given Wood’s well-known fear of water. The circumstances surrounding her death remain a subject of speculation and mystery, fueling ongoing debate and intrigue.
