Christopher Walken was one of the last people to see Natalie Wood alive. I'm a Senior Staff Writer based in New York City, where I've been covering classic BuzzFeed-style content since 2020. Wagner has denied he had anything to do with Wood's death. Walken has not said much about the night beyond affirming it was an accident and that he had nothing to do with it. "I don't know what happened. She slipped and fell in the water. I was in bed then. It was a terrible thing." He also said, "The people who are convinced that there was something more to it than what came out in the investigation will never be satisfied with the truth. Because the truth is, there is nothing more to it." You can see the photo of Polanski with the door here. There are also theories that his death was caused by drinking too much water. The arthritis medication claim was brought up by the deputy district attorney during the trial, with OJ's defense calling the claims paranoid (though he did not directly deny them). OJ himself never addressed the claims. You can check out a behind-the-scenes feature on the show here. Brown had reportedly been compiling proof of the abuse, including photos her her bruises, apology letters from Simpson, and news articles where he admitted to abusing her, which were all found in her safe deposit box after her death. The worker's testimony was banned from OJ's criminal trial but allowed in the ensuing wrongful death civil trial. OJ was acquitted of Nicole and Ron's murders, but he was found liable in the civil trial. Simpson has continually denied involvement in the murders. When Kutcher heard the news, he called police because he was worried his fingerprints were on the doorknob. He did not become a suspect. Catcher in the Rye has been a favorite of multiple killers/would-be killers. Arthur Bremer, who tried to murder presidential candidate George Wallace, also reportedly had the book with him, as did Robert John Bardo, who murdered actor Rebecca Lucile Schaeffer. Hinckley had tried to emulate Taxi Driver's protagonist by dressing like him and keeping a diary of things he was frustrated with. Still, Hinckley didn't believe the film had actually inspired violence, saying, "No, those guys were out there. They were out there. I didn’t create them.” Murray was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter due to medical negligence, despite his defense team arguing that Jackson had self-administered the propofol that led to his death. He served two years of his four-year sentence before being released early due to a policy related to overcrowding.
