"The investigation into actress Natalie Wood&amp;#039;s death has been reopened after 30 years. The Los Angeles County Sheriff&amp;#039;s Department has confirmed that the case will be looked at again, as new information has come to light. &amp;quot;Recently, sheriff&amp;#039;s homicide investigators were contacted by persons who stated they had additional information about the Natalie Wood Wagner drowning,&amp;quot; the force said in a statement. &amp;quot;Due to the additional information, [the] Sheriff&amp;#039;s Homicide Bureau has decided to take another look at the case.&amp;quot; Wood&amp;#039;s body was discovered in the sea near Catalina Island in California on November 29, 1981. She had been dining with her husband Robert Wagner and Christopher Walken on a yacht the night before she died. The Oscar-nominated actress - who shot to fame in Rebel Without a Cause and West Side Story - was 43 years old. At the time, the Los Angeles County Coroner ruled that her death was an accidental drowning. Wagner&amp;#039;s publicist has issued a statement saying that the actor and his family &amp;quot;fully support the efforts of the LA County Sheriff&amp;#039;s Department, and trust they will evaluate whether any new information relating to the death of Natalie Wood Wagner is valid&amp;quot;. The statement added that Wagner hopes that any new evidence &amp;quot;comes from a credible source or sources other than those simply trying to profit from the 30-year anniversary of her tragic death&amp;quot;. TMZ reports that the investigation may have been reopened in light of a new book written by Dennis Davern, who was captain of Wood and Wagner&amp;#039;s yacht the Splendour. The force has refused to comment further, but a press conference has been booked to take place this morning (November 18) at 2pm ET/11am PT. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
