Screenwriters like to talk about the fact that life is sometimes much more inventive than any author’s fiction, and this applies not only to romantic or comedy plots - the world knows a lot detective stories, whose investigation ended in nothing. There have been mysterious murders in Hollywood, and some of them really still haven’t been solved - even if we’re filming another season of True Detective or a new Zodiac. Together with the Film.ru portal, we have collected just a few touches on police cases involving Hollywood celebrities, which still have not been resolved.

Virginia Rapp

In the 1920s, Virginia Rapp was known as one of the most beautiful starlets in Hollywood. Her unexpected death occurred a few days after Roscoe Arbuckle's noisy party, which he threw about a successful contract with Paramount. Some of the eyewitnesses of that spree claim that Rapp was beaten and brutally raped during a drunken orgy, which led to damage to the internal organs of the pelvis and death from peritonitis. Arbuckle was declared the rapist, but the criminal court failed to bring any charges against the comedian three times, considering that Rapp could have been the victim of a botched abortion that led to sepsis and death.

William Desmond Taylor

William Desmond Taylor, who managed to make nearly six dozen films between 1914 and 1922, was considered one of the most promising Hollywood directors, but the director’s life was interrupted by a shot in the back within the walls of his own home. The first suspicion fell on actress Mabel Normand, who was the last to see Taylor alive, but investigators could not find evidence of Normand’s guilt. The investigation was greatly hampered by the fact that numerous friends of the director arrived at the crime scene before the police and “trampled” the evidence, however for a long time The main versions of what happened were the revenge of drug dealers, from whom Taylor tried to protect his mistress, and the jealousy of the rejected actress Mary Miles Minter. Alas, the case fell apart due to lack of evidence.

Thelma Todd

Thelma Todd began her career back in the era of silent films, the actress starred with Buster Keaton and the Marx Brothers. With the advent of the sound era, Todd successfully moved from comedies to dramas and melodramas, but by the end of 1935 her financial position deteriorated sharply. This was the reason to consider Telma’s poisoning from exhaust fumes to be suicide - the actress was found dead in her car. Todd's body was cremated and no autopsy was performed, but some witnesses say the 29-year-old blonde's face was disfigured by bruises and her car's upholstery was marred by blood stains. Suspected of violence ex-husband actress, and also allegedly rejected by the star famous gangster Lucky Luciano, but no evidence of these versions was found.

Elizabeth Short

Elizabeth Short, who was working as a waitress at the time of her death, can only be called a movie star with the strongest stretch - what made her a celebrity in the world of cinema was not the modest roles she managed to sign up for, but her acquaintance with the Los Angeles establishment and the interest in her history of screenwriters and writers that followed the murder. directors. Nicknamed the Black Dahlia (or in the Russian localization, the Black Orchid) for her passion for the color black in clothing, Short was found dead in January 1947. Her body was dismembered, her face was mutilated, the blood was thoroughly washed away, Elizabeth was tortured, beaten and sexually assaulted. Despite the large number of suspects, the police were unable to find the killer, and Short's death remains unpunished.

George Reeves

The Kryptonian made one of the first performers of the role of Superman, George Reeves, famous, but not invulnerable. In the summer of 1959, the actor was found with a fatal gunshot wound to the head, and everything pointed to suicide, except for a couple strange circumstances: The four people who were with Reeves in his house were in no hurry to call the police, and pistol cartridges scattered in the room could indicate a struggle preceding the fatal shot. The police suspected the abandoned wife of George Reeves, as well as MGM studio director Eddie Mannix, whose wife Tony allegedly slept with “Superman” the day before. In 1999, information appeared about Toni Mannix confessing to the murder of Reeves, but no confirmation of this was found.

Marilyn Monroe

The most famous blonde in Hollywood, Marilyn Monroe, is officially recognized as a suicide - this is supported by the actress’s severe psycho-emotional state in mid-1962, frequent visits to doctors, and problems with alcohol. The idea of ​​killing conspiracy theorists was prompted by the fact that the idol of millions did not leave suicide note, and the place of her death was furnished as in an ideal movie scene: several empty bottles of sleeping pills, pills on the bed and a telephone receiver in her hand. Many people think that Marilyn could have been the victim of a murder passed off as suicide, the reason for which was the actress’s relationship with the Kennedy brothers. Speculation on this matter still surfaces in the tabloids.

Krista Helm

Charming Krista Helm was just getting ready to go big Hollywood star– her career was just beginning, but she managed to reach the top solely in the matter of manipulating men. The girl quickly realized that she could move along career ladder, providing sexual services, but she was let down by her habit of keeping a diary and writing there about all her adventures. Furthermore, Helm planned to release a book of memoirs. Krista was killed near her home; an unknown person jumped up behind her and stabbed her more than thirty times. Of course, the starlet's diary (aka the expanded list of suspects) disappeared, the book was not destined to happen. Many years later, DNA analysis showed that the killer was a woman, but this did not bring the police any closer to a solution.

Bob Crane

American actor, musician and radio host Bob Crane starred in large number films and TV series, but the public was truly excited by the films, the existence of which was revealed only after the actor’s death. It turned out that Crane, experiencing constant sexual hunger, regularly met with the most different women and with the help of his friend John Carpenter (no, not the director, just the namesake), he recorded his sex games on video. After another such “horizontal meeting,” the actor was found dead - his body was beaten, and the cord of an electrical appliance was entangled around his neck. Traces of blood of the same type as Crane's were found on the seat of Carpenter's car, but the investigation was carried out so unprofessionally that the suspect had to be released. However, the killer could be one of the actor’s mistresses or his husband, enraged by betrayal.

Natalie Wood

West Side Story and Rebel Without a Cause star Natalie Wood, 43, was found dead in November 1981 near her husband Robert Wagner's yacht. The day before, the couple was relaxing in their country house in the company of actor Christopher Walken, and initially the investigation decided that Wood went for a boat ride at night and accidentally slipped into the water. The actress’s fear of hydrophobia did not fit well into this scheme, as did the evidence of the actress’s quarrel with her husband and intimacy with Walken on the night of her death. The case was closed for 30 years, but in 2011, police again became interested in Wood's death. However, according to investigators, Wagner and Walken are above suspicion; someone else could be involved in the case.

Peter Ivers

Rock musician Peter Ivers was known primarily for his work in the American New Wave Theater, but his numerous acquaintances with Hollywood stars, as well as writing music for films by David Lynch and Ron Howard, made Ivers a very famous person in film circles. This fame is the reason that the murder of Peter Ivers has still not been solved. In 1983, the musician was found beaten to death with a hammer in his Los Angeles apartment, but the fact that numerous friends of the deceased arrived at the crime scene before the police made a hot pursuit impossible. Many believe that Ivers' acquaintances deliberately destroyed evidence in order to shield someone famous, but it is possible that the death was the result of a botched banal robbery. So far, the case has not been solved, and the circle of suspects has not decreased.

Ronnie Chasen

Ronnie Chasen was a unique Hollywood “star” - the sister of director Larry Cohen worked as a PR person for several actors and a very famous publicist, whose support was sought by many directors, composers and producers. On the night of her murder in 2010, Chasen was returning home from the premiere of the film “Burlesque” when police found a woman shot dead behind the wheel of her Mercedes late at night. Detectives quickly determined that Ronnie was the victim of a robbery gone wrong, but some of the facts of the case didn't add up. First, the victim's wallet remained untouched. Second, a quickly identified suspect shot himself when the police came to arrest him, but this would-be killer was a simple crook, while the murder of the publicist looked like it was carried out by a professional hitman. So far, detectives are finding it difficult to say whether the murder was random or ordered and whether there is a customer for this crime.

It didn't sound like that. But it’s one thing to leave for another world in old age, in own home on a soft bed, and it’s completely different to die in the prime of life the most terrible death.

To begin with, we will tell you a few stories telling about the most terrible and mystical cases death in the world.

The worst deaths: top 8

A person does not always die under mystical or mysterious circumstances. We present to your attention the 8 most terrible causes of death, which, according to doctors, are the most painful:

  1. Hunger. A person can live without food for about two months. However, after 10 days of fasting there is no strength left at all. The body begins to suck nutrients and energy from fat. The liver begins to function incorrectly, secreting toxic substances which ultimately kill a person.
  2. Shipwreck. During a shipwreck, a person faces not only the danger of drowning, starvation or hypothermia. Even if you manage to survive, loneliness in the middle of the ocean can drive you crazy. And the threat of shark attacks does not leave you alone for a minute. Dehydration leads to painful death. Some, in the hope of salvation, start drinking sea ​​water, but it only increases the water deficit in the body, because salt draws out all remaining fluid from organs and tissues.
  3. Falling into a volcano. It is, of course, very difficult to get into the mouth of a volcano, however, if there are such daredevils, a painful and most terrible death awaits them. The top layer of lava is not so hot, but as you dive deeper into it human body will burn out within a few minutes.
  4. Sacrifice. One of the most terrible deaths for people is death in the process of sacrifice. If several centuries ago this was the norm in some societies, then in today’s civilized countries this crime is committed only within the framework of sects, the very act of falling into which is already like death, because a person “falls out” of life and renounces everyone, including myself.
  5. Plane crash. The worst deaths in the world are deaths in confined spaces. When the plane begins to fall, all passengers are overcome not only by a feeling of panic. The rapid approach of the aircraft to the ground leads to loss of consciousness for a couple of minutes due to lack of oxygen. When a person wakes up, the speed of the falling plane will be prohibitively high, and he will have no more than a few minutes to live...
  6. Predator attack. Tigers and lions kill their prey immediately, so it does not have to suffer for long. But hyenas and jaguars eat prey while it is still alive, starting from the legs.
  7. Frostbite. Low temperature has a very insidious effect on the human body. First, the muscles begin to tremble from lack of heat. Then, as a result of too active trembling, they rupture and the ability to move is lost. Attempts to crawl on the ground lead to nothing. Body temperature continues to fall, and faster than freezing internal organs. The functioning of the brain is disrupted, the person is no longer able to understand whether he is alive or dead.
  8. Shame.“Burn with shame,” everyone has heard this expression, but no one thought that one could actually “burn” from this feeling. High level anxiety and stress due to some action or event can lead to cardiac arrest. Prolonged soul-searching slowly develops into self-destruction and possible suicide.

I would like to think that the most terrible deaths in the history of mankind occurred only in times when the death penalty not only was the only way justice, but also carried out publicly. In fact, the insidious “old woman with a scythe” is lurking today at literally every step, and it is not yet a fact that life today is safer than several centuries ago. The worst thing about death is the unknown: no one knows at what moment it will creep up and what will happen after.

1935−1977


Death was not part of the king’s plans: the musician was going on tour, and immediately after he wanted to get married to his young friend Ginger Alden, an actress and model. It was she who found Presley's body on August 16, 1977 in the bathroom of his house - Elvis's heart could not withstand a double dose of sedative. According to another version - drugs. And thirdly, Elvis faked his own death, tired of his crazy life. The fact that something was clearly wrong with the artist’s death was indicated by a secret investigation into the circumstances of his death. In particular, there is not a single posthumous photograph of Elvis, and the famous shot of the artist in the coffin is called a fake. Conspiracy theories about Presley's death were so firmly in the minds of Americans that a few months after the artist's funeral at the Graceland cemetery, obsessed fans tried to open Elvis's grave to make sure that his body was in the coffin.

Marilyn Monroe

1926−1962

Marilyn's body with a telephone receiver in her hand was found on the night of August 4-5, 1962 in her home in Los Angeles. The artist was poisoned by barbiturates. In the 60s, the craze for this sedative drug reached its peak, including among celebrities, and often led to serious addiction and death. In 1966, writer Jacqueline Susann released the novel “Valley of the Dolls,” dedicated to the spread of dangerous antidepressants in Hollywood, and the following year the film adaptation of this book was released, which became a cinema classic. Judy Garland was approved for one of the main roles, but later the actress was removed from filming due to drunkenness. In a cruel twist of fate, Garland died two years later due to a barbiturate overdose.

Popular

As for Monroe's death, it gave rise to many rumors, legends and mysteries. In particular, one of the most popular theories surrounding the artist’s death was the version of the murder ordered by the brothers John and Robert Kennedy, whose mistress was Monroe. The position of her body spoke in favor of the artist’s violent death: the actress was lying face down in a pillow, with her legs and arms stretched out along her body, while drug poisoning was accompanied by vomiting and convulsions. Questions were also raised about who the artist called on the verge of death and with whom she spoke (various acquaintances of the stars after her death assured that it was with them that Marilyn had a conversation in last minutes life).

Jim Morrison

1943−1971

The Doors' leader Jim Morrison died in Paris on July 3, 1971. The official version of death is a heart attack, but this is a conditional diagnosis that does not reveal the mystery of Morrison’s death. There are many speculations surrounding the musician’s death: a heroin overdose, suicide, a staged suicide by the FBI, which was actively fighting the hippie movement. Morrison's friend Pamela Courson was with the musician at the time of his death, but she did not say a word about the incident and led a reclusive lifestyle, and three years later she died of an overdose.

Ruslana Korshunova

1987−2008

The fate of the beauty from Almaty was decided by chance: a modeling agency scout saw her picture in the in-flight magazine of the Air Astana airline and provided Ruslana with a place in the fashion world. Ruslana became the discovery of New York Fashion Week in 2005 and received the nickname “Russian Rapunzel” for her hair. She starred for Elle and Vogue, participated in advertising campaigns for DKNY and Lacoste, and her most famous photo shoot was for the Nina fragrance by Nina Ricci.

However star life and the sky-high fees only from the outside seemed like undeniable happiness, and in her diary Korshunova often wrote about emotional experiences and sadness. It is these facts that provide evidence of the suicide of a 20-year-old girl who was found dead under the windows of her apartment in New York. The mysterious death has many other versions, starting with the fact that the model was a member of a Moscow sect, which led her to depression, and ending with a conspiracy of the Russian mafia.

Andrei Panin

1962 — 2013


Forensic experts who examined the actor’s body had speculation about Panin’s murder. The actor was found lying on the floor, and, as experts initially suggested, he fell and hit his head. But this is what caused the fall and injury... A criminal case was opened into the artist’s death, which, however, was closed at the beginning of 2015 for lack of evidence of a crime. The cause of Panin's death still remains a mystery.
