Did George Reeves, TVs Superman, shoot himself, or was he murdered?
Havent yet watched Hollywoodland yet… looking on the web…. There will always be speculation regarding the true circumstances of George Reeves’s death, and there are very interesting questions supporting the various theories. A few pertinent facts: 2002 study reported in The Lancet showed that a person with a family history of even one suicide is 250% more likely to die by his or her own hand than someone with no family history of suicide at all. George Reeves had at least two suicides in his family (including the aunt from whom he got his middle name), and he had two prior unsuccessful attempts at suicide himself. An inebriated person (Reeves’s blood-alcohol content the night of his death was 2.5 times the legal limit) is ten times more likely to commit suicide than a sober person. A person with depression indicators is 30-to-90 times more likely to commit suicide than a non-depressive. An inebriated person with depression indicators is 300-to-900 times more likely to commit suicid
