Natalie Wood: Witness heard boat argument the night film star died
Natalie Wood and Robert Wagner were married twice before she drowned
The account comes as detectives investigating her drowning have designated Wagner a “person of interest” in the case.
The Los Angeles sheriff said since the case was reopened, people had given statements that “portray a new sequence of events on the boat that night”, crucially offering a different account from the original witnesses.
West Side Story star Miss Wood, 43, drowned off Santa Catalina island, California, in 1981 while on a yachting trip with Mr Wagner, now 87, actor Christopher Walken and others.
Earlier this week Los Angeles investigators said Mr Wagner’s version of events “does not add up” and that after Miss Wood was recovered from the water she looked like she was the “victim of an assault”.
