Once again, more than 30 years after her passing, Natalie Wood is in the news. More details have been released about her mysterious death in November of 1981. It has always been believed that the actress died from drowning after falling overboard from a yacht she was on with her husband Robert Wagner and friend Christopher Walken.

But the new report is now saying that Wood had bruises on her body, which could possibly have been a result of injuries inflicted before she hit the water. Some speculate foul play may have potentially caused the bruises and her eventual death.

Police are clear to state that neither Wagner nor Walken are suspects in her death and that they may never solve the case. But her death certificate has been amended so that her cause of death is no longer just drowning but instead reads "drowning and other undetermined factors."

The case was reopened in 2011 after new information surfaced and several of the investigators who worked on the original case were re-interviewed to try to get to the bottom of the mystery. For now, the report states that the Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Lakshmanan Sathyavagiswaran feels, “that the manner of death should be left as undetermined.” What do you think? Will we ever know what really happened to Natalie Wood?

    IMO Wagner was extremely jealous of Walken and took it out on her, with alcohol playing a major factor.

    The only people who know what happened are Wood (RIP),Wagner and Walken. And the remaining living aren't saying a word

    Kinda like we will never know what really happened from the grassy knoll or Marilyn Monroe's death etc etc. Natalie was a very beautiful woman, huge loss.

    I think either Christpher Walken, another great actor, or Robert Wagner will spill the beans on their death bed.

    Sadly no. Personally my gut feeling is it was murder but I don't think they ever will know definitively. Hell of a waste gorgeous woman.

    Personally I don't know the woman. I only heard her name maybe a few days again and still didn't bother to research and now I see this question. After reading this question I feel that maybe there was some foul play that contributed to her death. Maybe someone threw her off the boat??? I don't know.

    All I know is the rumor at the time .Seems like Wagner asked Natalie if she wanted to shower on the boat that night and she replied "No ,I think I'll just wash ashore tomorrow

    Right after I finish my time time machine, I'm going to go back and witness the incident first hand. Maybe even film it, then come back to the present with the evidence.
    I wonder if saving her life would have drastic consequences on the present?
    Maybe I should not change the past?

    No. It is not likely that any legally compelling evidence will surface until there's one of those deathbed confessions or revelations.

    It's always interesting to speculate. Though it is usually a family member, so Wagner is the most likely suspect. His fame and money kept him safe at the time and now too many years have passed. Hopefully it was an accident and his grief was sincere. If he did let her drown trying to "teach her a lesson", then he has had to live with that all these years and it can't be easy. Looking at the autopsy report, she certainly did have a lot of bruises and abrasions on her body. Water does not cause broken and bruised skin, before or after death.

    Perhaps it was just a accident perhaps there was foul play,but if proof did come to light that proved it was a accident, there would be people saying that the new investication was a sham.
    Perhaps there should have been a maybe in one of the options.

    I spoke to the skipper at the time. According to him they all got drunk and she fell overboard! I think that was the truth and someone is just trying to make money.

    Its so many years ago, there is no way to know unless someone who was there wants to come forward with truth. I dont see that happening. She's dead, it doesn't matter anymore how she died, with our without bruises. We lost an icon when she passed, no amount of conjecture at this point will resurrect her. We just need to love her memory.
