The greatest mystery
George Reeves’ death still remains a controversial subject. According to the official reports, it was suicide. Nevertheless, some people believe he was murdered or was a victim of an accidental shooting.
At that tragic night, the actor was at home with his fiancée Lenore Lemmon and writer Robert Condon. After some time, they were joined by a couple of neighbors.
When George was going to his room, Lenore made rather strange comments.
He’s going upstairs to shoot himself. See, he’s opening the drawer to get the gun. I told you, he’s shot himself.
But after police arrived, the woman said she was just kidding.
Reportedly, George Reeves previously had romantic relations with Toni Mannix, the wife of MGM vice president and fixer Eddie Mannix.
