And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
"Final autopsy results show that Nerine Shatner, the wife of “Star Trek” star William Shatner, had been drinking heavily and taking sleeping pills the night she died in the swimming pool of her Studio City home.
The former model and aspiring actress, who had two drunk-driving convictions and had been treated several times for alcoholism, had a blood alcohol level of .27 percent, more than three times the legal limit for driving, according to autopsy results released Tuesday.
Authorities believe Nerine Shatner dove into her swimming pool, slammed her head on the pool bottom and drowned. The autopsy report said she had bruises on her face and two cracked neck vertebrae consistent with banging her head on the pool bottom."
Shatner arrived home, found his wife at the bottom of the pool, and called 911. She was dead before he got home, FFS.
She had no trouble getting herself "drunked up", her BAC was 0.14, nearly twice what is now considered legally drunk, and almost 1 1/2 times what was considered "drunk" at the time, she couldn't swim - ever, and the boat was at anchor the entire time. In water with a night-time temp in the mid-50s, in one of the coldest seasons on record, which would give a young, healthy, sober person 1-2 hours, max, before becoming unconscious from hypothermia. For a very drunk non-swimmer 43 years of age and weighing a bare 120 pounds with damned little body fat, who may well have been knocked unconscious or severely stunned bouncing face-first off a dinghy on a stumble into the water, she may never even have woken up, and probably wasn't conscious more than a hour. Likely it was far less than that, perhaps mere minutes. Drowning isn't pretty. Other than getting nearly every single fact wrong, great write-up.
On the other hand, an average stone-cold sober person who could swim could have made it to shore even a mile away in about 30 minutes.
Wood had none of those things going for her that night. Her death is a tragedy, but not particularly mysterious. Ask the Coast Guard about drunks and boats.
Real Question: her fear of the water & why would she ever have gotten on that boat. Usually people steer clear of situations where water & their fear do not go near there.
They need to re-write Robert Wagner's memoir from Pieces of My Heart to How To Kill Your Wife And Get Away With It.
ReplyDeleteBill Shatner has a pamphlet available.
ReplyDeleteGeez, it's definitely pond scum day.

Everybody in Hollywood isn't O.J.
Not cute, Beautiful
ReplyDeleteSo does O.J.
ReplyDeleteClassic beauty. Initially, I thought it was a pen, but she lost me when I figured out it was a cigarette. Ashtray mouth, you see.
ReplyDeleteIt was pushed as a health benefit and sexy. She was brainwashed by Madison Ave and her peers. But I agree it's nasty.
ReplyDeleteImagine a time before tats and piercings, she was absolutely gorgeous!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of wood doesn't float?
ReplyDeleteDid you know that Diana Rigg and Natalie Wood were born on the exact same day? That was quite a day.
ReplyDelete-----exact same day, or same day--?---
DeleteJuly 20, 1938. Both of them. Exact same day.
DeleteWagner got her drunked up and tossed her into the ocean and sailed/motored away. The truth will win in the end.

Darwin has no pity.
I still have a crush on her.
ReplyDeleteShe's still not as hot as Pixie Lott.
