Timeline NEVER established by authorities in Natalie Wood case

It took a nurses's association to finally develop the proper timeline corresponding with the important events for establishing what may have happened to Natalie. At the “Advance for Nurses” Web site http://nursing.advanceweb.com/Article/Historic-Trauma-Cases-Natalie-Wood.aspx you can view this timeline where Natalie's case is considered a trauma case because of the condition of her body (bruises). Noguchi was under severe pressure to wrap up the Wood case. He did not allow the time needed to accurately investigate Natalie's bruises, dress, time of death, etc.We were left with more questions and no answers from the medical examiner's office.


Noguchi claimed Natalie’s jacket had dragged her down. He is WRONG. This kind of information that down jackets weigh you down in water should be told only by people who have TESTED IT. I hear in articles, in reviews, in comments, and even on the autopsy report that the jacket weighed her down, from people who HAVE NOT TESTED IT. It's a simple test anyone can do, and you will astounded at the results. DOWN KEEPS YOU AFLOAT IN WATER!

Here is the nurse's timeline the officials on the Wood case had never put together. The dinner hour may be slightly off, but the remaining hours are accurate. This timeline is established from official records.
