Police reopen Natalie Wood death investigation
ROUGH CUT - NO REPORTER NARRATION
STORY: Homicide detectives announced on Friday (November 18) plans to reopen their investigation into the death of screen icon Natalie Wood three decades after she drowned off the California coast.
The body of Wood, 43, was found floating in a Catalina Island cove in 1981, and her death was ruled an accidental drowning by the Los Angeles County Coroner.
The star of "Rebel Without a Cause" and "West Side Story" had spent the night before dining and drinking on the island and on a yacht with her husband, TV star Robert Wagner, and fellow actor Christopher Walken.
Questions over the circumstances surrounding Wood's untimely death have lingered for 30 years, and family members have previously asked for authorities to reexamine the original findings.
